Cubase 7 and BCF2000

Hi, I am having some problems with Cubase 7.5 and BCF2000.
Many things are working well, but some things are not (annoyingly!).
Have I missed something?
I am running Cubase 7.5 Artist on Win7-64-bit. I am using the following firmware recently downloaded from Behringer site: bcf2000_1-10.syx.
Is this firmware correct?

So, the problems:

The top right and bottom right Encoder keys do not scroll through pages as expected, instead they change functions to Routing select (top right key) and Send FX volume control (bottom right key) (as seen in BCFview and seen in the Cubase file being worked on).

In Edit mode, encoder knobs 1-4 and knob 6 control relevant channel pans as expected. However, knob 5 controls channel 5 pan (as expected), but also turns Loop function (Transport bar) on and off. Knob 7 moves channel 7 pan but also triggers fast fwd, and knob 8 controls channel 8 pan but also triggers fast reverse.

There seems to be some stability issues using MIDI/Instrument tracks. Sometimes (not always) when wanting to control those tracks with the BCF2000, things ‘flip out’ and all of a sudden BCF faders are controlling panning rather than volume.

I have spent the past 2 hours scouring the BCF2000 postings on this forum and not found what my issues might be due to.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I am using BCF2000 in Mackie Mode and BCR2000 for normal MIDI CC assigning, no problems.
After 7.5 update the Mackie mode is different. I’ve made a corrected layout for the BCR.
