So the problem is really in the Configurator and we need to open an issue there. But since we can't force people to upgrade to fix the problem in 10.6 we'll probably have to put in a validation check in the MSP to prevent it from occurring. Normally we don't add additional validation to MSP and it's the client's responsibility to validate, but there you go. Since this seems to be a bad result (although admittedly no something many people are going to fall into) we probably have to mitigate.

If you can set it to 100 in the receiver tab then that's a bug in the Configurator. The setting is limited to 50.

rc_smoothing_auto_smoothness = 10
Allowed range: 0 - 50

Just tested the 10.7 configurator and it's limited to 50 so not sure how you set 100. Also can't view the video (flash player required and not installing it).

Ah I see, there's a bug in the Configurator that the "Save" happens before it constrains the range (if you type in a bit number).

It looks like the range constraint checking is broken for all the fields in that section of the configurator. Fortunately the only other settings that aren't drop-downs are the manual cutoff frequencies and these allow 0-255 so it's not possible to get too bad a result.

Also created an issue for the Configurator: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/issues/1907
