Importing a new version from external source
You can buy upgrades and request updates for your MICROBEAST PLUS by using the update functionality of StudioX. For more information have a look [[StudioX_overview|here]]. '''NOTE: When switching from Version 3.x.x to Version 4.x.x you must change several setup parameters.''' Please refer to the [http://www.beastx.com/download/manual/microbeast/BeastX_ProEdition_V4.0.0_EN_0715.pdf V4 ProEdition AddonManual], the [http://www.beastx.com/download/manual/microbeast/MBPlus_QuickStart41_EN.pdf V4 Quickstart Manual] or [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Intro/en|V4 Online Manual]].<br />

:''Basic functionality''
* JR DMSS satellite support (RJ01 remote satellite); connect satellite using the Spektrum satellite adapter
* systems with AR9020 fixed firmware only working with Ar9020 receivers (no receiver type selection here!)
* Bugfix: Spektrum DSMX satellites can also be used in 22ms mode, not only with 11ms frame rate
* Bugfix: initialization will not finish when Spektrum SRXL receiver is used and transmitter is still switched off
* Bugfix: tail rotation rates in HeadingLock mode can be set up to 1000deg/s by increasing servo throw of rudder channel
* Bugfix: Single_line receiver can be connected to Microbeast PLUS even when receiver setup menu point B is opened already

:''Internal RPM Governor''
* optimized Governor control algorithm
* optimized Governor control algorithm
* more options for tweaking the Governor by using StudioX Expert setting (Thrust and Cyclic FeedForward; Gain adjustment)
* more options for tweaking the Governor by using StudioX Expert setting (Thrust and Cyclic FeedForward; Gain adjustment)
* added more deadzone for throttle stick detection when performing throttle low/high position setup so these menu point can be skipped without detecting stick movement by accident
* added more deadzone for throttle stick detection when performing throttle low/high position setup so these menu point can be skipped without detecting stick movement by accident
* Bugfix: StudioX will show the set RPM Governor mode also when system is still performing initialization sequence

AttitudeControl
:''AttitudeControl''
* AttitudeVector initialization in any position (no need to keep the helicopter in upright position during power up, i.e. you can lay the heli to the side for initialization when it's windy)
* AttitudeVector initialization in any position (no need to keep the helicopter in upright position during power up, i.e. you can lay the heli to the side for initialization when it's windy)
* new feature for Bail out rescue mode: when inverted heli will be leveled in inverted hover first and then turned around only over roll axis. With this the loss of height typically is lower compared to immediately turning it around over all axis. Feature is on by default and can be switched off using StudioX Expert Settings.

* optimized stick fading for Bail out rescue and 3D - Mode, so flying around even when one of these modes is switched on feels more natural
* optimized stick fading for Bail out rescue and 3D - Mode, so flying around even when one of these modes is switched on feels more natural
* no pitch management once the heli was leveled in Bail out rescue or 3D - Mode with pitch and when flying around while one of these modes is still enabled

* The ''internal RPM Governor'' can be used for electric and glow helicopters. It has built in soft start and autorotation bail out function. The control it quite similar to electric speed controllers with governor function, so you simply set your throttle curves as switches for "motor off", "headspeed 1", "headspeed 2" and "autorotation bailout". Adjusting complex throttle curves is not necessary anymore and the helicopter will maintain the specified rotor head speed over the whole flight. Optional the nitro governor can be also used in classic style with throttle curves and a separate switch for governor/rpm control.

* ''AttitudeControl'' overs different modes of self leveling. These are "Bailout rescue mode", "3D-Mode" and "Flight trainer mode" with angular limitation. Basically when you activate the AttitudeControl it will turn your helicopter back to level position when you release the sticks. Some modes additionaly apply collective pitch input and lock your thrust stick in the ground direction. So the unit will turn your helicopter and keep it leveled in hovering flight regardless of how the pilot moves the stick.
