Please help with FMS connection with Dragonfly 22D

[shivy]

I got myself a Dragonfly 22d on the internet from HobbyJapen 2000. I read through this forum and their help center using this link http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/SimulatorSetting.html in setting up the FMS program.
Everything is set up well according to the instructions. Yes, you have to manually install the two drivers. I got to the point that the PPJoy serial steam is reading from Zhen Hua 5 byte protocol. However, when I turned on the beep on serial input (debug), there was no sound. When I opened up the analog joystick interface. I could see joystick 1 with several vertical bars at various height. However, changing the channel settings and calibation did not do anything. The program failed to respond to the radiocontrol unit. My computer uses Window 98SE.

From other discussion board in this forum, I find this link which was supposed to be a stimulation program for these types of helicopter. I downloaded it but could not open it.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

I finally found out the problem. For the dragonfly 22d transmitter, you have to remove the crystal or the RF module. Open up the PPJoyCom, attach to the transmitter and then turn it on. The setting is all different. For model1 (right throttle), the setting is Rudder 4, Elevator 1, Aileron 3 and Throttle 2. Put in the same sequence for tail/nick/roll/pitch.
For mode 2 (left-handed throttle), the setting is Rudder 3, Elevator 2, Aileron 4 and Throttle 1. The problem with the mode 2 setting is that the direction for elevator is reversed (ie. stick up -backward and stick down - forward). I am not sure how to change it.

The link to the chinese site above led to truflite2, another flight simulation program. However, you cannot open the download. The correct link is
This program is quite different from FMS in which you can make a lot of adjustment - a bit too complicated for me at this time. In addition, it does not seem to get along with FMS on my computer. You can only use either one but not the other afterward or the system crashed. Finally, in order to use truflite2, you have to connect and turn on your transmitter without the crystal before you start the program.

I have many more questions to ask. Please stay tune.

shivy,

You can invert any control by clicking on the "INV" box next to the control in the Mapping/Calibration screen.
