Readme.md - ImmersionRC GHST RF Mode

ISSUE:
The Readme.md needs to include some details for GHST to work properly without the user being confused.

Ghost users may set and forget their RF Mode on their RX module and thus cause themselves to think there is an issue with the Betaflight LUA when it does not work... due to them being on the RF Mode that has no Telemetry.

This was the post I made on the ImmersionRC Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/immersionrchub/


Finally got Betaflight LUA to work, but only on certain RF Modes.
I changed, on the module, the RF Mode from my preferred Solid250 to Normal and it worked. I then changed it to other RF Modes and only some worked.

Module turns green for connection and the drone arms - LUA WORKS!
"Normal"
"Race"
"Race250"

"Long-Range" turns green for connection and the drone arms - NO LUA

Module turns yellow for connection and the drone arms - NO LUA
"PureRace"
"Race500"
"Solid250"

In the Owners Maunal for the Ghost receiver on Page 36-38 describes the RF Modes. The attached image shows the same 3 RF Modes to NOT have telemetry THUS the reason they will not work with BetaFlight LUA.
I just assumed that ALL of them should work. It's been a long time since I changed my RF Mode, so I thought there was an issue.


Currently stated...
"Telemetry - Telemetry has to be enabled and supported by the TX / RX for the scripts to be able to communicate with the flight controller"

Adjust it to...
Maybe adjust the sentence by... "Telemetry - Telemetry has to be enabled in Betaflight Receiver tab and supported by the TX / RX for the scripts to be able to communicate with the flight controller"

Currently stated...
"ImmersionRC Ghost - Latest firmware"

Adjust it to...
"ImmersionRC Ghost RX module - Latest firmware and module set to RF Mode "Normal" - "Race" - "Race250" see Ghost receiver manual page 36-38 for further details - (Other RF Modes do not have telemetry to allow Betaflight LUA to work)

If the image does not appear you can follow the Facebook link to view the image that you can use for the Readme.md if you wish.

I can confirm that. I have Firmware v1.0.8.0 on both Rx an Tx.
For a well working Betaflight LUA i would recommend Race250.
The Normal and Race modes don't do a good job with Betaflight LUA, the pages are only filled sporadically or not at all.

@adarkthinline The readme isn't supposed to be a detailed setup guide for specific systems, but I think your suggestions are reasonable. Please feel free to make a PR with your suggested changes ๐Ÿ™‚

@TheIsotopes Yes, Race250 is the way to go for lua performance. I think that may be worth mentioning in the readme too ๐Ÿ™‚
