Hello,

I'm liking the sim. A few questions. How do I assign my flight mode switch for Flight Mode Normal, 1 and 2? I assume each bank offers a default RPM, pitch curve, throttle curve, gyro rates and expo per model, correct?

Also, how do I assign my preferred switch (which is already activated in my transmitter) to activate engine on/off for auto rotation?

Thank You,
Nick

Hi Klaus,

I'm an experienced pilot and sim user. I've been wanting to purchase your software for sometime now. I'd like to assign Flight Condition 1, 2 & 3 to my 3 position flight mode switch. For example. I'd like Flight Condition 1 to be Soft, 2 to be Medium and 3 to be Hard. I'm not understanding how to accomplish this. Although I understand I am able change flight conditions and engine on/off with my keyboard, simply not interested in using the sim this way.

I can see that the Input Monitor recognizes my 3 position switch movement but after pressing assign, then to switch, it says button 2, but my switch doesn't reflect any change. I'm using the Ikarus Interface with a Futaba 9CHP. Also, the Input Monitor reflects movement as channel 6 but the 3 position switch is activated as channel 5 in my transmitter.

I'm also noticing the Input Monitor doesn't reflect movement for channels 7 or 8 which are activated through my Transmitter. Therefore, I'm not able to assign an additional switch or switches for autorotation, flaps, or etc.

I'm wondering if the use of the Ikarus Interface may be the problem here?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Klaus,

The only flickering channels in the Input Monitor (which are minor and not constant) are my active channels 1,2,3,4 & 5. The only other active channel is channel 6 and does not flicker, but moves proportionally when I flip the switch from forward, to center to backward. Again, this is my flight mode switch. Do you mean I should disable channels 1,2,3,4 & 5, by unchecking both boxes for each channel prior to assigning the conditions for my flight mode switch?

I'm still not understanding your following instruction "You have assigned your flight mode switch to a proportional channel. Then set these switch to flight condition 2 and then assign flight condition 1 in Settings > Input Device > Functions. After that you can assign flight conditions 2 and 3." Can you please explain.... How to set my flight mode switch to flight condition 2? Do you mean flip my flight mode switch on my transmitter to center? Then, using the function menu, assign flight condition 1 with the switch position on my transmitter to flight condition 1, then flip the switch to center to assign flight condition 2 and so on for condition 3?

I've just ordered the RX2SIM, thanks. I should have it tomorrow.

Thanks and looking forward to NeXt sim training.. ;)

Hey guys having a problem with setting up my INTERLINK ELITE CONTROLLER( RealFlight)

in the airplane simulator, the throttle is at maximum and the action of the stick does not change anything? I am in mode 1 and I did the initialization of the sticks.
do you have any ideas?
best regards
