789 The PARALYZE mode is mainly used by racers who crash their quad but aren't able to go retrieve it from the field while other quads are still flying around. It powers down the VTX to prevent it from interfering with other racer's video feeds. If you're not a racer then connect Betaflight Configurator to your quad and completely delete that mode from the Modes tab because it's not going to be useful to you and can just end up causing unnecessary issues.

0 I'm using the latest configuration and the firmware is I believe 4.0.0 but I have read it's a pre release version? I can't get on the "modes" options I belive I need to update the firmware in the controller to fix this? But I'm struggling.
I followed a vid on YouTube by joshua Bardwell called "modes tab not working" but it seems they've got rid of the version I need?
Would it be possible to use a older version of the configurator?
Sorry I realise I know nothing and I really don't want to annoy anyone by asking daft questions but I've been pulling my hair out!

0 Would it be possible to remove the PARALYZE mode using the cli? Just as a quick solution until I manage to get my betaflight modes menu working?

0 Thanks I really appreciate your help.
Iv connected to betaflight, I can see the quad move and everything seems to be working other than the modes menu (the program crashes when I try to go on that)
Iv paired my controller and that looks to be working OK too.

0 Thanks 10.5 still didn't work but 10.3.1 did. That's great thankyou.
I can now get on the modes tab but the paralyze option was off?
I'm gonna have to go to bed and im away for the weekend so I'll have to come back to it Monday.
Thanks for all your help.

789 I missed the fact that it's an F3 FC, so the latest official release of Betaflight that works on an F3 MCU is 4.0.6, so you won't be able to update to any version later than that anyway.
When you get a chance after you are back next week, please run the "dump", "diff all" and "status" commands in the Betaflight Configurator CLI tab and copy/paste the results back here so we can take a look at what all your Betaflight settings currently are.
