Setting up a FS-i6X controller with neXt RC Heli Simulator ?

Hi Ian,

do you use OpenTX or EdgeTX?

There are some FrSky examples:

Did you connect your FlySky controller to the computer with a data USB cable? Then follow this description 'FrSky Taranis/Horus with a USB data cable'

When you have done this and the channels are still shifted, then you have to do this:
OpenTX: Create a new fixed-wing model in your transmitter. Connect the XSR-SIM USB dongle to the computer and bind it to your transmitter (D16, CH1-8, no telemetry). It is necessary to adjust the servo center point and travel on your transmitter. Take a look at the input monitor and move your sticks. The slider should not skip. In the transmitter in the Servos menu, set Subtrim to 50 and Min to 0 for the first eight servos.

Helps this?

All the best,
Klaus

Hi Ian,

I just searched the internet because I don't own an FS-i16X. It looks like it's an older transmitter that doesn't have the built-in USB HID option. With the USB HID option, you simply connect the transmitter to the computer with a USB data cable and switch the transmitter to HID mode. This is shown in a strange way in this video:

Do you own the SM-100 USB simulator adapter or the PS/2 to USB Update Cable?

I wouldn't use the SM-100 cable as it has really poor signal quality and only 4 channels.

I guess you got these receiver: FS-IA6. Then you can connect the receiver to an RX2SIM and then have the best possible signal quality and also more than 4 channels. I always use 5 channels: four channels for the four control functions on the sticks and then a switch which is programmed to the fifth channel to turn off the motor. Then you can also train autorotations in the simulator, which is very important if you also want to fly an RC helicopter in reality.

Here is how to set up RX2SIM: https://www.cgm-online.com/rc-flight-sim...next-usb_e.html
There is also described how to program a switch for autorotation (motor off).

Helps this?

All the best,
