Right hand screen on the ST16 controller. Press GPS calibration - there you should have a GPS 'ON' in Red. GPS ON is the default setting. Simply tap the red 'ON' to turn the GPS off. Watch this YouTube video

At the top right of the screen, click on the settings icon (cog wheel); on the aircraft tab, scroll to the bottom, slide the Manual Mode switch to 'On'.

So what version firmware are you on? The manual mode was added back in August, the version was 20180801 I believe.

Okay, so you have the original firmware. While I did update my Typhoon H when the first update came out, I have not updated since then as my Plus has been performing very solid, and none of the updates since have had anything that I needed. My philosophy here is; if it ain't broke don't fix it.

So, you will likely have to update to current levels. There is a ton of information in the Plus 'How to' sections about updating and even rolling back firmware but for sure you will need to update to be able to get into manual mode.

You will need to update like Ty said for you to be able to have the option to turn off GPS in the menus options.

Just so you know guys, I am aware that sometimes FW updates can bring problems, but I think statistically not updating is riskier. In some cases the warranty service could rule operator's fault because of old firmware.
Usually a FW update changelog will have something vague like "fixed bugs" - you never know what kind of serious or not-serious bugs are meant by that.
