20 Recently I rebuilt my 5" basher. It was on BF 4.2 with the "cinematic" PID preset from the BF github page. I had purchased licenses for the ESC to add bi-directional dshot. Well, this 'NEW" esc just got Blujay and wanted to re-install that same PID setup on 4.2.( had Flight controller issues- so no cli dump), give it a couple packs...update betaflight to maybe 4.4 or so, and compare.
I was able to locate BF 4.2 on the Github site but could NOT locate the profiles they had before (HD, Freestyle, cinematic). Does Github "edit" past non relevant "settings" once they become outdated? if someone does locate these, please post the location... im just curious why I cant locate them.

20 found s couple cli dumps.. 4.2.3 was the "oldest", and i may have found another with 4.3 so maybe I did update it and not realized it... Im Pretty sure when the new version of BF got released the PID settings got changed for the better....
Sorry for wasting your time with this thread...I should be getting stick time in... not pounding keys on a laptop...I was just kinda curious...

maybe check bf 4.5 release candidate would be an option either :-)

20 .. per Sir JB.. no need to update to 4.5 unless your serious about “gps return to home”…
I loaded 4.3 and a profile / tune.. configuration wasn’t so bad since I just did it..
Handling was much better.. so much so, I got a little cocky and put it into a tree… so I was unable to check the motors..
I tried using my “rescue quad” to get it down.. and ended up getting TWO quads stuck…30ft. Extension ladder and a 20ft pole with a hook.. and I was able to retrieve both… lost a motor / esc .. have to troubleshoot. After all this.. gonna take a short break, lick my wounds and regroup before proceeding ..
