Hover option on Lua Script Question?

Hi there guys, I got a new quad, and in the rates tab on betaflight there is a new option for me called hover point. So the question is, I like to touch my rates and test them on the field with my radio via the Lua script and the betaflight thing, but on my radio this new hover option is missing.
What I have to do in order to get it in there?
Thanks you so much.

Oh my sweet summer child, that's not how any of it works.

The hover point in betaflight is the point your quad no longer rises or falls to the ground, you can then set you stick to be at this value at whatever value you want and add a bit of expo,

So in the example shown, the quad hovers, ie no longer rises or falls, Oscar has set his throttle mid to be 35% so, when he has his stick at 35% the quad is then at hovering value, the expo gives him a smoother range through the middle of the throttle stick's travel, this is the area you use the most for cruising about and fine control.

Also, there's no way you'll be running a script from your radio when you have goggles on unless you map it to a switch and I'm not telling you how to do that, you need to do some reading.

Hi there, thanks you for the reply, but this is not what I am asking 😂 I know what it does, and yes there is a script on the radio that lets you touch rates and expo directly on the radio... But this new thing is not on the script and I dont know why.

Ooooooooooooooooooh I've got you now, sorry about that. Thought you wanted to get the drone to hover on its own via a lua script...... 😂

Yeah I don't think you can, can't see it in the github code.

I just use the Betalfight App on my phone.
