What is the option listed as "cannon stabilization switch", function #10 in the feature list? It says prepared for subsequent upgrading, has that upgrade been released?

G'day folks, just got a 7.1 down here. Has Tiger and T90 sound set.
My question is...................on firing the main gun the thing seems to find an auto-loader default breach return function regardless of the sound set chosen.
Great if you have a modern MBT with an autoloader like a T90, but not cool if you want it in a Tiger 1.
Is there a way of disabling this function and if so, how??

If I remember correctly, it's the Button K + Control stick 2 pushed upward to activate/deactivate that function

Anyone know why they switched to a Deans connector on the 7.1? I am trying to find the best way to connect an xt60 connector. Should I change the connector, or is there an adaptor to use?

I assume the reason they changed to a Deans is because it's a much better connector than those old Tamiya style ones. Personally, I changed all my batteries to use Deans connectors. I also have an adaptor, but that was a DIY.

I prefer the one piece molded XT60 to Deans if I need a converter. I bought a kit off Ebay a while back that had Tamiya to XT60, Deans to XT60, and a few others all in one using the overmolded type like these:

LIke I said, I have not seen CN17 on the 7.1. So I think that CN13 serves that function.
So. I have written plenty for one morning. You guys have a great day and if you have input or want to ask something...feel free to do so.

Hello
I am the original author of this thread. Since my son grew up and stopped being interested in toys, I returned to my main hobby - making music and servicing electric guitars and amplifiers - so I haven't been here for a long time... But yesterday, out of sentiment, I checked my old thread out of curiosity. I can explain to you what CN13 does - using the example of my video here:
phpBB [video]

CN13 - Light Sensor System allows you to raise the barrel like in modern tanks - when it is above the rear deck with the engine. I made such a module for my son's tank and if you live in the EU - I can make a second one and send it to you (for the price of the parts, my time to make it and shipping costs).
