Sorry for hijacking this thread but I would like to ask an additional question which might be useful for the original poster as well:
I got my DX6i working fine with Next sim. However, I cannot get "throttle hold" switch working. I assigned the TH switch to "Autorotation" in Next settings. When switching TH, DX6 internally goes to "Throttle Zero" which Next Sim interprets as "full negative pitch" which brings the heli down quickly :-)
Any solution for this? Otherwise great product - looking forward to do some more winter training. Bye for now...
it's best to use the DX6 with a fixed wing preset instead of a helicopter preset. Then the autorotation switch changes the landing gear in the transmitter. This means, it will switch only one channel. You see this channel in the neXt and there you can assign this channel as switch for the autorotation.
Thanks for the advise Klaus. It works. Switched to a plane preset and had to re-locate the gear switch physically to the other side of the TX in order to have it in the proper position (right index finger). Works good enough to simulate hand position of my DX9 which I use IRL at the field. Thanks again!
