@RustySocket - Yes I have done some whoppers where I thought the RX was toast - but a wipe clean and reinstall of the SD card worked every time!
When I first received my radio I charged the batteries calibrated the sticks and sliders, and then and plugged it into my Simulator as I did not have the Rx with me at that time. Then (once I located the model's button vs the settings button) I created models using the onscreen helpers without a manual. Once I got the Tx home I set up the D16 option in the settings to talk to my FRsky RX's and the FS2a option for my FlySky RX's. I personally have not looked back.
For the ACCESS issue, the simple path is to buy a couple of their ACCESS Rx's and everything will be fine - in the longer term, you will be able to have some workarounds for using NON-ACCESS Rx gear.
Myself, I am good. I am comfortable not getting to the ACCESS receivers and I am in the US so I don't have some of the limitations that are going on overseas from a legal standpoint. I have plenty of gear and no need to go to 900mhz at this stage. I just didn't read the details about exactly what I was flashing when I did it.
Regarding @Aireal Anarchist
I have read and then re-read your post, I have gone to the FrySky page and looked at what is currently there for the QX7-Access which is only the manual. I have looked at the compatibility page for the R9 Slim+OTA Receiver in an attempt to help, and from that it appears that receiver should bind with your transmitter and work stock out of the box. As I re-read your post again, I am still struggling to figure out what is not working for you.
I'm happy to try to work through it with you but I'm not sure what the real problem is. Can you clarify for me and maybe we can get you up and running.
What exactly was the situation that you felt you needed to update the firmware?
