Real Flight, the most outdated Transmitter setup process.

[Bogie]

I’ve been trying to set up my Radiomaster TX16s for solid week now, through the Spektrum WS2000 and the USB cord, with no luck. I shouldn’t have to buy another Spektrum interlink transmitter to use Real Flight Sim.

I would of thought buying the most expensive RC Sim on the market, I would have no problem setting my own new computerised Transmitter on it. But what you get is the most outdated set up process, let alone getting it to recognise sticks and radio functions.

Even when I try to set up my Spektrum DXS through the WS2000. Real Flight assigns the collective to Throttle Hold switch and you can't change it as there is no collective assignment. So you have Collective and Throttle Hold on the Y axis, stupid. Throttle hold should only affect Throttle. So the Heli sits on ground revving its arse off and no collective. You would of thought you would have to do nothing in set up if you select your Transmitter that is installed in the software.

Even AccuRC which is a third of the price has a better setup process for your Transmitter and you can assign what all your levers, buttons and integrate them with each other.

It’s about time Real Flight producers got up with the play and made it easier to set up your Transmitter. I had easier luck in the past with PheonixRC. AccuRC does a better job at it. From reviews of Next Sim. It has a more advanced setup Process.

What a pain in the butt. Augh

The issue is that you misunderstand the limitations of using your own TX in ANY sim.
This is not really different in any other sims, including Phoenix, Aerofly and AccuRC.

When you use your own TX the biggest issue is the switches.

The simulator can only "see" up to eight analog input channels.

Usually, other than the gear switch, a switch on your TX does not actually transmit anything. It typically acts as a modifier to the radio itself.

To get a switch to work you will have to assign it to an output channel on your TX, then in the sim you must assign that channel to an input (switch) function. Often this has to be done or adjusted on specific models as well, since they all use switches differently.

Since you are channel limited the TX will not be able to activate all of the corresponding functions in the Sim. At best you will get two switches from the TX into the sim using channel assignments.

You should set up a TX profile planes, drones and helis keeping the above in mind.

I've been through all of this both with the wireless dongles (WS1000 and WS2000) and the cable USB interfaces with all of the mentioned sims and more.

I advocate using the Interlink Controller for that reason. It provides all of the TX functions to the sim, including trim switches, flip switches, front panel buttons, roller button, etc. and they all operate from the start with little to no reassignments required.

The Interlink also works great with the sims you mentioned.

I understand. cheers.

I can easily run my TX on AccuRC, its Real Flight that is behind the times. Seems I can get it running one time with the same setting on my TX, save the profile then when I go back the next day and I have do the whole process again.
If it has a profile for even the DXS then the DXs should be able to run it, not find the sim is assigning a collective with throttle hold, with the same Y axis.

In AccuRC, you calibrate, assignan axis to throttle and assign the same axis to collective. Assign all the other stick axis. Done your flyng. RF seems to assign a collective to where ever it wants and you cant move it to work.

Finally. To get it working, I've have to modify each Heli or Plane in Aircraft edit in RF.

You will need one profile on the TX for Helis, another for planes and possibly another for quads if you want to best utilize the switches.

This is a limitation of the TX's ability to get signals to your PC, not the sim. AccuRC and other sims are likewise affected.

You do not have to modify each heli or plane in the sim as far as standard channels and switches, e.g. gear, once you have those assigned, but you may be forced to make changes due to the limited number of switches your TX can present to the sim.

If your TX could operate like a standard PC controller with multiple buttons/switches then you would only have to do one setup for everything and other profiles would not be required.

That is why the Interlink is the best way to use the sim barring another equally capable controller with the same number of PC inputs. I haven't found anything as good as the Interlink for PC control from any other vendor. There are a couple of other sims that even suggest using the Interlink for their sims because it works so well.

I have a WS2000 but haven't tried it with a RM Boxer, I use the ExpressLRS BTLE mode. It shows up as a "gaming joystick". I've mapped SA, through SF.

I haven't tried getting the S1, S2 pots or the flight mode buttons (more like an analog signal on the TX side) to work, haven't needed it yet.

A possible alternative to your setup, if you have more than the 4-in-1 module.

You can get it to work with advanced USB mode within EdgeTX. I forget what settings I used but here's a link to the wiki to get you on the right track. I have no idea about wireless with the USB dongle.
