I have retried to get full telemetry but seem to get RPM (Have set 'gear ratio' / pinion & main), but seem to be missing still the Capacity used and Current Draw.
I have not tested to see whether RPM recorded is accurate yet.
Regards,
Andy

Hello,
all the variables should be visible. It is enough to enable ESC telemetry in the Spirit Settings and then make sure to load all the sensors in the radio menu - Sensors menu.

Yes, I got RPM, but capacity used seamed unbelievably low and current draw still did not show!

Very likely you are trying to see the values without main blades, am I right?

No, main blades on and spinning!
No significant current draw showing.
710mm blades spinning at about 1400 rpm!

I am just charging again to test once more.
I even linked Hobbywing 160A V4 into computer and upgraded software to latest version.
Had previously been using programming box to set gear ratio, etc.

The ESC sensor is quite imprecise for a low current. The higher current rating the HobbyWing ESC has, the higher minimal current is sensed.
In a very rare cases it could be issue of the particular ESC. In any case I recommmend to check in a normal flight.
On the ground with low RPM the measurement will be imprecise with this ESC.

I will check in the morning at the field with some circuits, etc.

Double checked again today on a 7 minute basic hover flight.
Recorded (on DC24) Hobbywing Capacity used: 267mAh
Capacity replaced (on recharging x 2 individual 6S packs) 2 x 6S 5200mAh: 1913mAh and 1850mAh (Battery 1 and 2).
I may be mistaken, but in 'Advanced' settings - Multiplier only goes to 300% or should I be going in opposite way to approx. 14%?
Regards,
Andy

I increased the Capacity used multiplier to 300%, and got an increased usage figure, but will need to do a proper timed flight and recharge. However, I don't think this will be sufficient. 300% is the maximum multiplier available. I think Hobbywing is just useless in the capacity recording. The Platinum 160A V4 is now discontinued, I believe, so probably won't be any more updates available!
