The rumor six months ago was that the 8FG was just a firmware upgrade away from telemetry capable, but this wasn't going to happen until AFTER the 18MZ was out. Can I assume the telemetry capabilities of the 8FG was just a myth?

Rumors are unconfermed facts! That is what we say in my line of work.

Great to see Futaba keeping us up to date. Love it.

Dood: Can I assume the telemetry capabilities of the 8FG was just a myth?

IMO you won't see thaf firmware for telemetry, you will have to buy the CRAP telemetry box or get the fabulous 18MZ.

has anyone downloaded and installed this version 5 yet?
Tried to download it and no luck.

Working good for me as well.

Worked for me on my cell, then uploaded it to my pc. I think it may be my wifi causing problems on there. The 5.0 installed no probs. Now just need some to tell me how this new gov feature works

Nope, I went flying today after upgrading, as usual after a new update I recheck my models and all ok.
