FlySKY FS-i6X

[The Duke]

It works with other sims how can i get the game to use the controller?

As for the original FS-i6, there are many youtube videos that show how you can use the controller, for example -
Via USB dongle (probably the best method) :

edit:
In the latest version of Freerider the FS-i6X should be possible to connect directly via the USB cable.

Hi. I'm sorry, but your sim is the only one where you need to change actual default settings on your controller, buy a difficult to find USB sim adapter, or modify a cable and go through all sorts of hoops just to get the controller working! I have a FlySky FS-i6X, and use the USB cable that came with the controller to run all my other sims like Liftoff, rEALFLIGHT 8 and DCL. Are you planning to do a fix for the Flysky controller, or must I just ask for my money back?

I use Unity's input manager, I can only read what is coming through the input manager. With the benefit of hindsight perhaps I should have used a different input manager. Now I am hesitant to make any major changes to the input system since it might cause unexpected issues to people who now got it set up working fine.
edit: Input system has been changed, it should now be possible to connect directly via USB cable.

When attempting to calibrate my controller in the program, it does not detect the controllers yaw axis. The controller is calibrated through Win10 without any issue. Does anyone know if it is a setting that I have incorrect or what?

[Jord & Eld AB]

Usually when one axis is not working, it can be solved by one of these methods:

- Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/controllers connected, that might cause a conflict.
- Make sure you uninstall vJoy and Smartpropoplus if you have those installed. Their driver messes with things when connecting via USB.
- Make sure you have "Heli" selected as model type on your radio. ("Plane" often doesn't work very well).
- If you are using a USB dongle - check if there's a switch on the dongle where you can select different modes.
- Perhaps you can remap the output channels (in the menu of the transmitter) so that it sends to another channel.

Also, sometimes the automatic stick detection gets it wrong during calibration. Keep an eye on the little circles above the OK button as you go through the Calibrate Controller procedure in Freerider. You can manually click the circle that you see is the correct one for each axis (instead of clicking 'OK')

I have just one cable for firmware update my Pc can detect Flysky fs-i6x and I can arrange everything over windows. However in the game, controller cant calibrate yaw thr everything is at the bottom in the centered position of sticks. 2nd page of calibration also gone insane. When i move the left to stick, circle goes left but when I move the right cirlcle goes again left. Do I have to buy simulator cable?

on the i6x there is no -100 on endpoints it is 0 to +100 only. and i got it to work and no i no clue what i did. it just random took but the controls or a bit shacky. almost like trying to build a tyro119. where it sez outi n the settings. shacking and you get no switchs. so no reset switch

[Jord & Eld AB]

Ok glad you've got it sort of working.

I use mac, ufter updating this and FPV Freerider games are not recognaize my Flysky. I think the problem is in the update scripts.

ulucfurkanvardar: As you go through the calibrate controller procedure in Freerider, keep an eye on the row of circles above the OK button. Are you able to move any of the little circles up and down using the controller sticks?
