Hi All,

I have FlySky fs-th9x with custom firmware, er9x. Also bought FMS USB simulator adapter, but it is no gonna work! I need some help to get this think to work!
I'm using macos Sierra and a MacMini.
Anyone has any experience?

Thanks in advance!

Not really. There is no description about FlySky, ER9X and FMS USD adapter... :(
If there is, than it is on Windows. I'm using macos Sierra. I already tried to looking for this, here, but there is no usable guide.
Even on google not found it.

I was hoping sombody already tried to connect on this was, or this config.

I really wondering, nobody is dealing with FlySky th9x and LiftOff on Mac os Sierra... :(
It is really sad, no one is helping... I'm pretty sure, there is a solution for my problem, but ...

At the studio we don't have personal experience with it. We don't deal with certain types of hardware specifically, the game can't see what you are using. It simply looks for input data on your PC or Mac and links it to game logic during the calibration steps. Who or what is creating this input data does not matter to the game. In general when a remote is acting difficult it simply means the game is not receiving any input data from it (or at least no useful data)

If you question is on how to connect your FlySky remote to Mac there's likely better resources and support to be found, as this is a hardware question and not a game software question specifically. I'm sure the FlySky manufacturer who made the hardware has a specific answer to this. I wish I had the answers for you and I had hoped someone on these forums had experience with it. At this point you likely know more about your personal setup than I do unfortunately.

Hello LuGus Studios,

Thanks for your answer. I understand it, I think from your point of view this is absolutely correct.
I thought, this community has enough experience in this topic, this was the reason for my post. Looks like not.
There are so many USB device on the market for connecting RC transmitter to Mac, but nobody created a list about which one is working with LiftOff, which one is not. My feeling was, you as a developer, maybe have this kind of list, but after your answer I have to understand, you are responsible for the software input.

Unfortunately I have no idea, how gamepads, joysticks are working unde macOS Sierra, which should give input for LiftOff, however originally I'm software developer (in the last 16 years I1m leading SW development projects, coding is remain as a hobby).

I found already a Guide here, for any transmitter/receiver connection for macOS Sierra Guide link .

Skylake has a solution for my problem, so we are "working" on this topic (unfortunately the Joystick library for Arduino is changed), we need to rework the code to get it work. I'm on it, hopefully X'mas will help me to have enough free time. I'm really hope, this will work!

Again, thanks a lot for your answer, it give me more power to continue to explore this new way to use LiftOff.
