hi : can some one help me ?, I have 2 transmitters im trying to use a Mikado vbar control a dx 18 although I can get both to work I can not figure out how to set up the flight mode or banks , anyone have any ideas ? thank you !
does your interface deliver more than the four proportional channels? If yes, then you can use an proportional channel to switch them. Simply program one channel in your transmitter which gets different states while you switch your flight conditions. Then you can define them in the calibration menu, tab functions.
I could only set one Setup mode on a 3 position switch,.. but cannot seem to setup 3 modes on 3 position switch?
In the calibration/setup menu,... I click switch, then move switch,.. but it only shows up as "button 2", when the switch is in the full up position,.. if I try to set to center, or down switch, nothing happens.
Ideally, I would have setups 1, 2, and 3 on a single switch, but can't seem to get it to work like that.
The best way is to program the flight conditions in your transmitter at one channel which you get in the simulator as proportional channel. Then you can assign them as 'slider' in the functions tab in neXt.
Oh cool. I did what you said and assigned the knob on my usb transmitter to use "slider", also Change the Soft,Medium,Hard to custom profiles Idle1,Idle2,Idle3 Works well. Nice :D
The DX18 (and many other radios now) let's you create create 4 Flight Modes along with Throttle Hold (5th Flight Mode) and Throttle Cut (6th Flight Mode) if you need that. For simulator purposes, I generally set the radio so I end up with: 0% flat throttle curve for Throttle Hold 25% flat throttle curve for Flight Mode 1 50%% flat throttle curve for Flight Mode 2 75%% flat throttle curve for Flight Mode 3 100% flat throttle curve for Flight Mode 4
I assign Flight Modes 1, 2, and 3 to a standard 3-way switch, and Flight Mode 4 to a spare 2 way switch. On the DX18 (and other Spektrum radios), Flight Mode 4 has a higher hierarchical priority over the other Flight Modes, which means when you engage Flight Mode 4, it will disengage Flight Modes 1 to 3 regardless of the position of that Flight Mode 3-way switch.
On the neXt simulator: I assign neXt's Autorotation to the Spektrum radio's Throttle Hold switch neXt's Flight Conditions 1 to 4 to the Spektrum radio's Flight Modes 1-4 switches
Since I only generally have 8 channels to distribute using simulators, this method allows me to use Autorotation (Throttle Hold) and all 4 Flight Conditions (4 Flight Modes) using just a single channel. This works well whether you use the DX18 (or many other radios) physically connected to the computer using a USB cable or whether you use a wireless connection with the RX2SIM, Spektrum WS1000, and/or OrangeRX USB module.
The VBar Control radio is a different monster. Since it does not have throttle curves on its own, the method above will not work when you have the VBar Control radio physically connected to the computer using the USB cable, but it should work if you have a wireless connection, since the wireless connection "activates" the throttle curves on the VBar Control radio.
