More Informations please....

You not need to upload firmware manualy.... And you not need Arduino IDE normaly ( Only if something get wrong)

Basicly what do you mean with " when i use MobiFlight and in the set tag,there is nothing..."
Do you already upload firmware by autoupload function of Mobiflight ?
If Yes.... Do you still click in tab "Mobiflightboards" on the upper item in the List ?

Other things....

1. Does the Mega work good with Mobiflight in the past or do you first set it at the moment ?

2. If you first try it.... was the board clear or do you stil do other things with it ( Other software like Joystick Librarys or Bootloader experiments )

3. Do you have same problem with other Arduino Megas ?
****

First hints....
Reset your arduino completly..... Use the EEPROM CLEAR sketch from Arduinio IDE to remove old or wrong data in the memory...
Then Disconnect Board and connect it again ( to get powerless ) Finaly start Mobiflight....
Now he board should be detect and you get chioce to install firmware.


Please awnser questions..... Report experience..... thank you !
Good Luck !

Links or Pics not working !

We get no reports of non detecting Megas since long time.... Most of Clones should be detect but maby you got a verry exotic board :confused:

You can do the firmware upload yourself....

You can use xloader Tool to upload the data yourself.
The Hex Files are in your Mobiflight Folder (firmware subfolder) ... Be shure you choose the correct hex file !
Good Luck !
