Support for walkera telemetry.

Well, with helis GPS has no significance at all, and used telemetry data could be restricted to Tension/Voltage of LiPo batteries (as I currently do with external Quanum unit. But the Walkera telemetry is not able to report single cell voltage, so Quanum solution is way better for me).

But some kind of "long flying"/"gliders addicted" friends told me these concept about the use of telemetry on planes:
1) last GPS position could be useful to be shown on the mainscreen in case of problem (you can check instantly if the model is gone out of sight if it is always moving, in which direction). In this case it can be useful to "hold" the last value received on screen (saved also on flash during shutdown?) so that if I turn on the radio again after a crash (and after having walked toward the supposed impact zone), I can instantly get model position (wrech maybe! and google maps and GPS phone needs).
2) All telemetry data should be logged for later analysis. It is really useful to track down not only absolute position but voltage, current and temperature (and any other data that telemetry transmit) to be able to analyze flight in deep (problem prevention / pilot skill improvement). Otherwise all these data are not really usable in real time (you have to pilot your model at first) except for specific (audible) alarm purposes (like a sound on low voltage, motor/ESC temperature too high, etc).
But less than 4 mega of free space on flash, can be enough to store all them?

I'am tested:
V1,V2,V3, T1,T2,T3,T4, RPM2 Long, Lat, Alt, Time - all OK
Long, Lat, Alt +- 10...20м

Is there any reason to show it on the main page?

I would like to see on the main page:
Speed
Alt (Real value = Alt - Starting Alt)
RPM
DateTime (Value + GMT)

and alarm by V1,V2,V3, T1,T2,T3,T4

P.S. I would also like to keep the total flight time model (not reset by pushing the "EXT" and be able to enter the starting value)

It has no relation to the telemetry, the total flight time must be considered on a timer. Summirvat time when the throttle channel is not 0 (preferably able to enter the throttle channel number manually). Opportunity to enter an initial value just will not be superfluous (replacement firmware / transmitter, etc.) do not need to write a user interface for this - just to be able to change the value in modelX.ini

Exampl code

After load modelX.ini
if TimerX.Type = "stopwatch" then begin
Load TotalTime from modelX.ini
end

Before power off or before change modelX.ini
if TimerX.Type = "stopwatch" then begin
Save TotalTime to old modelX.ini
end

It is not necessary to bind this option to telemetry, This cummulated timer is interesting for all models, and telemetry not installed on all.

The problem of the total timer is when it should run.

Only is THR channel not 0
That would avoid the problem of processing power down enough to write a new value at each stop cummulated timer

if "cummulated timer" stop then begin
save new value to modelX.ini
end

Yep, but what if I'm just trying my settings on the monitor page without actually flying the model?

Telemetry data as a switch would be only an option...

This is "the best"
I offered the most simple implementation

Total flight time on this firmware for more than 2 hours. All OK.

I bought a devo telemetry module and installed it in a Walkera V450D03 heli. Temperature sensors and voltage measurement is perfect. It does not measure the RPM. When I turn on the radio and bind, temperature, and voltage windows are white, but the RPM window is red. When you go to the telemetry section, and return to the main window, I have a white window at RPM, but the rotation will not be measured. What is the problem, there may be some trick? I tried both module plug connectors with the sensor, but nothing. Even the telemetry window does not show anything, but they are both white box and reads zero.
This module is included:

And this is the RPM sensor:
