'''When Bank Switch is activated all parameters have to be set in the software.''' This also includes the gains that usually are set with the 3 dials on the device as well as the tail gyro gain. The dials do not have any functionality anymore, the gyro gain channel now is used to switch between the banks. When the gyro channel is in center position Bank 2 is active, when the gyro channel is moved to positive direction Bank 1 is active, and when its moved to negative direction Bank 3 is active. '''There is one exception:''' the AttitudeControl gain can be still controlled by a separate switch channel, only when no additional channel was assigned in RECEIVER MENU, you have to set the AttitudeGain for each Bank in the software and the selected AttitudeMode will be activated depending on the amount of gain.<br />

You can see in the Software/App which Bank is active at the moment as well as you can read the current bank from the display. Each time you change the Bank the Menu LEDs will light up for 4 seconds and will indicate like a little bar which Bank is selected: bar on top is Bank 1, bar in the middle is Bank 2, bar at the bottom is Bank 3.
Please note that the values may vary slightly, actually there is a little range around center position so you do not have to set the gyro channel to exactly 0% to activate bank 2. Also the signs may be interchanged depending on the type of radio system used. Anyhow, you can see in the Software/App which Bank is active at the moment as well as you can read the current bank from the display. Each time you change the Bank the Menu LEDs will light up for 4 seconds and will indicate like a little bar which Bank is selected: bar on top is Bank 1, bar in the middle is Bank 2, bar at the bottom is Bank 3.

Following the Bank display you will see the AttitudeControl display for additional 4 seconds. When LED A flashes AttitudeControl is off, otherwise one of the Menu LEDs B - N shows the amount of AttitudeControl gain, see [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV5:AttitudeControl|AttitudeControl instructions]] for further informations.<br />

In order to use bank switching in flight either you can assign a 3 - position switch on your transmitter to the gyro channel (which is used for bank switching now) and select banks randomly or you can link the gyro channel with you flight mode switch, so that the parameter banks are set automatically for each flight mode.<br />

==Setting Bank Switching with StudioX==
=Setting Bank Switching with StudioX=
Choose the tab "Parameter (1)" and click the button "Activate" once, next to where it says "Bank Switching". It can take some short amount of time until the data is updated, then the adjustments for the gains as well as the tabs "Parameter (2)" and "Parameter (3)" will be unlocked. On the status bar at the bottom you can see that the gyro gain indicator changes into a flightmode/bank indicator. The button text also has changed to "Deactivate" now (if you click it again bank switching will be disabled and everything as decribed above will be rolled back).<br />
<br />
When you've set a separate control channel for the AttitudeControl function in "Control setup" you will see the message "AttitudeControl uses separate channel" at the bottom, next to the AttitudeControl gain adjustment. The adjustment will be locked in this case as you will still be able to separately activate/deactivate the AttitudeControl using your additional switch channel. Only you can use Bank Switching then to change between different rescue modes in flight. On the other hand when you did not assign a separate channel for the AttitudeControl, you can set the AttitudeControl gain for each bank/flight mode and use the Banks/flight modes to activate/deactivate the rescue in flight. Note that AttitudeControl will enable when the gain is higher than 12! Check the status bar at the bottom or the display on the device to see when AttitudeControl is activated or not!

==Setting Bank Switching with StudioXm==
When StudioXm has connected to your MICROBEAST PLUS in the device overview main screen click the "Parameter" button. Then click the "Next" button repeatedly until you reach the screen "Bank 1 - Gains" or directly go to this options screen using the box on top. Here you can aktivate Bank Switching clicking the specific button below the gain adjustments. When Bank switching is activated the following screens are accessible and can be used to change parameters of each of the Banks 2 & 3 besides the Paramters of Bank 1 in the beginning.<br />
