Default T8FG Acessing additional Channels?

So I have a T8FG with Version 5.0 Software that they claim makes it a 14 channel remote.
Now the system I am running with this controller is a R6208SB Receiver on S Bus going to NAZA H. That system is fine. I installed a Sbus Hub in line connected the NAZA H to that working fine. From another port on the Hub I installed a SBD-1 sbus 3 way. I have 1-7 channels tied up going into the NAZA for gyro and other controls. So I have channel 8, 9, 10 setup on the SBD. Now Channel 8 is currently working correctly on switch LD. However I can not figure out how to set 9 on switch RD, and 10 on LS. I am looking for a linear control for all 3 channels. I cant for the life of me figure out how to access the channels. Now I did go into the function menu and assigned LD to 8. v1 to RD aux 3. and v3 aux 4 to LS. But any control from RD or LS do not produce anything out of the servos. Any Help would be appreciated.

It has been a while, but IIRC there were two different 8 CH mode, one for a regular 8 channel and the other called 8chMLT2 (mlt2) 14 channels, make sure the receiver is in multi mode and you will see an extra channel screen in the servo munu.

Hope that helps,
Doug

With the firmware upgrade you get 12 proportional channels and two on/off channels. All 14 channels are available from the S.bus port using any Futaba S.Bus receiver.
 
You can use the FUNCTION menu to assign any channel to any function or any switch or control.
