This is because you can't get the main superx file? To reinstall?

Regarding the beeps from your ESC's, there are some variables here, different firmware can cause the ESC's to beep differently, how you program the ESC's can cause the same thing. Usually you'll get a beep for each cell, so four beeps for a 4S etc.. But if the ESC's are flashed with SimonK or if you chose a different battery type other than LiPo when you programed the ESC then you might not get the cell confirmation beeps.
On the SuperX there are no files to download unless your trying to upgrade firmware. Are you saying that the SuperX drive doesn't appear on your computer when connected to your SuperX? Do you get the sound your computer makes when you attach any external device? If your getting the audible signal that a device is attached and you can double click the SX drive and its empty then there's obviously something wrong. If you don't get the audible signal that your connected then its a computer or cabling issue. Are you using the extension cable provided by XAircraft? You might want to try a different cable.
When you power up your SX what does the LED flash? Do you have a green light on your Rx?
Sorry if all of this has been answered before, I didn't go through this thread I just noticed you were asking for help.

Post footage. Is there a noticeable difference between the Hero3 and 4?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the GoPro4. I had a 3+ Black and had to return it for a 3 Black due to the focus issues. The 3 was way better for aerial than the 3+. Wondering how the 4 is. Did you go with the $499 version?
It does not appear I could arm the motors, the transmitter (Spektrum DX9) is on and binding with the receiver (Spektrum AR9020 with SATS). The LiPO is a 4S. Throttle is down at start up.
As I mentioned, I went thru the throttle/stick calibration step by step and all the checkmarks were down. Is arming the motors when the sticks are pushed toward the center of the transmitter? Is there something else I should look to do? I can tell I am so close but just not there

Yes. Somehow the file SuperX.exe is gone, and so is the log file. I understand if there's no log it will just create a new one though. Other files are there, like the config.

You have a fast flashing green light so you are in manual mode. What happens when you go to GPS mode?

Will do, had to charge her up and my son's shooting some test footage now. Too windy to fly, maybe tonight.
Don't know if you have seen the demo in 4k, pretty impressive!

Shouldn't. But, I like to start up in GPS mode and go to 50% throttle and let the FC do the auto-takeoft.
My guess is you should diligently go through every calibration step and make sure they're done exactly as the manual says. I had to reverse my throttle too on my TX (taranis)

Have the 3+, was lucky it didn't have the focus issue. Yes the 499 version, 4 silver is almost identical to the 3+ with the addition of the lcd touch screen.

Make sure you have the trims on your transmitter all at zero before you do the calibrations.
I went thru the ESC calibration again.... Connected the ESC directly to the throttle port on the Spektrum AR 9020, I get the one beep when the throttle is maxed when the throttle is dropped I get two beeps and a single beep.... When push up on the throttle the motor will spin up. All four did the same. When I connect the ESC to each port on the XA and none of the motors spin up.... Any more thoughts?

only the esc calibration and endpoints only extended when your plugging them esc's into the rx.... i wanna say it's suppose to be 125 on top and bottom but one of these spektrum guys would have to get you details. might be some youtubes with it, try "spektrum esc calibration" or something like that...
I put the endpoints to the recommended 125 for both throttle settings... Ran thru each esc connected to the Spektrum AR 9020 and they all took the settings put the endpoints back at 100 and tried to spin them up.... I'm just wondering how many people get the same number of tones at start up when the battery is connected. I'm not getting the 4 beeps of the battery detected and the beep after that series.... I only get the intro tones.
But from all accounts the motors are not getting armed.. Does this happen from the XA or the ESC when correctly calibrated. Like I said when I calibrated the ESC from the receiver and then I can spin up the motor I just calibrated.... Just can't have all four motors going from the XA. Thanks for the support and recommendations.

Are you running OPTO ESCs?
are all the trims on the Tx centered?
