FULLY Customizable HD OSD canvas mode for DJI FPV Goggles V1 & V2 | My EYES can't handle the BEAUTY!

[@Mangorille]

Hey All. With the release of Betaflight 4.4 HD OSD, I want to give you an update on changes necessary to get this working correctly on 4.4. If you follow the exact steps in the video without these changes, your OSD will be shrunk into 1/3 of the screen in the goggles. You can follow all the steps in the video EXCEPT, 1 - There is no need for the FakeHD (do not run the CLI commands below in WTFOS). 2 - You should set the OSD to HD in Betaflight, and 3 - No need for the throttle position OSD element in position 4. Everything else works perfect. package-config set msp-osd fakehd_enable true package-config set msp-osd fakehd_hide_menu_switch true

[@Pozzix65]

so if I have some vistas vtx and camera AND O3 also, can this procedure work? (suppose that I have all my quads on BF 4.4.x) TIA

[@Mangorille]

@@Pozzix65 Yes, this will only take effect when you're using the vista though (DIY mode). The O3 mode will continue to work as originally provided by DJI.

Hey Everyone! Thanks for watching this video! Make sure you check out the video description for links and CLI commands used in this video.

Thanks for putting together, looks neat and worth the effort

[@vapgames]

Thanks! This is so cool, I finally turned off the annoying default voltage/timer and moved all the icons around to make it look clean.

Ya, takes a while to get perfect but time well spent. I miss this level of customization now that solely use the goggles 2.

Great video mate... It really helps a lot. Thanks.

[@MindRiderFPV]

Great job! Too much for some cool icons, hope BF 4.4 will include some of it! Loving WTFOS so far. Doesn’t always boot up but works most of the times.

[@Mangorille]

Thanks! But the icons are so cool! :) I think with BF 4.4 you may get the ability of pushing the elements to the edge of the screen but that's all I am expecting. I tried the BF 4.4 RC1 and it did not work with the DJI, still limited to 4:3. I saw RC2 is out but I haven't had a chance to try that one yet.

Hi There, Great informative video. I saw on another channel the below commands ran. Do you have to run these each time you run updates? If I'm missing something please let me know Thanks Air unit and caddx vista package-config set msp-osd compress_osd true package-config apply msp-osd DJI Goggles package-config set msp-osd rec_enabled true package-config apply msp-osd

[@Mangorille]

I didn't use that command on the air unit side. It seems like it may be specific for INAV so that it sends compressed OSD vs. RAW data. No need to reapply.

[@SpongeBob-xh8ir]

Can we remove the sd card after root and font install?

[@Mangorille]

After root the sd card is no longer required but it is required for the fonts with FakeHD. If you remove it, FakeHD will not find the font files and then will revert to its stock fonts and icons.

Hi, i followed every step till the point of getting the conthrax -sb font to the goggles and i am lost. Can you elaborate more on it. in Minimal ADB and fastboot termminal after pulling the XML file , i checked in my folder the "system folder" apprears as it should be as per your instructions. I have downloaded the conthrax fonts do i copy the font file into the Minimal ADB and fastboot folder and rename the file ending .ttf? I am stuck at pushing the conthrax sb fonts to the goggles. some help much appreciated.

[@Mangorille]

You copy the font file to the minimal adb folder. The font file should already have an extension of .ttf. If it doesn't, make sure that you are actually seeing the file extensions (windows hides these by default).

No, it wouldn't impact the DJI FPV mode as the Caddx Vista runs in the DJI FPV System mode. Changing the Caddx Vista firmware does not change your Betaflight configuration. They are completely unrelated.

Hi I have issues with throttle position..I moved it to same position like you and I don't know who but I can't see it on goggles screen

[@Mangorille]

You're not supposed to see the throttle position on the screen. It is just a flag used by FakeHD to turn itself on or off. Do you want to see it? If so, you need to change one of the command lines I provided.

All looks very good. I have a dji air unit that wouldn't show a picture in my goggles. I put another one in the drone and it worked so no issues with setup or wiring of the quad. I put the the first one back in and nothing. I took the antennas off (under a fan) and powered it up and there was a picture again. Plugged the antennas back in and powered up and no picture again. They are original dji antennas. I did this ten times and the result was the same every time. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Thanks.

[@Mangorille]

Try double checking the camera cable or the connection of the cable. I'd suggest trying to swap the camera and cable from the known working unit over to the one that does not seem to work consistently.

Which air unit are you using and which OSD? There are different methods of OSD right now: 1. On the Vista/original Air Unit, there is a custom OSD built into the goggles.
