RC Helicopter supports FMS
- TESTED the DragonFly 4CH (http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/store/pro ... od=DRAFLYE), the transmitter and cable come with this helicopter works with FMS (in Win XP - the one I used for test).

Just received a Colco Cyclone helicopter with 6 Channel RC (only uses 4). Checked out FMS using the keyboard. If I press 'G' on the keyboard for throttle increase, then the helicopter image lifts off. If I press 'B' for throttle decrease, it descends. Couldn't be simpler. Plugged the RC it into COM1 and did the calibrate - all the expected bars moved up and down. I selected a helicopter model, increased the throttle - nothing. Tried another helicopter, same thing. Tried all the available helicopter models, none worked. Tried an aeroplane - it works! The fact that I can fly (well, crash mostly) the aeroplanes indicates that there's no problems with drivers and connection and FMS's reponse to the RC. For some reason the helicopter models are not responding to the same actions that the aeroplanes are. There must be something about the helicopter models that requires different input or settings. The throttle works on aeroplanes, but not on helicopters. I'm using FMS 2.0 Beta 7, Windows XP Home SP2, Serial PIC-interface, 19200 Baud/0xFF Sync. I've left the channel mappings at the defaults, because I don't know any better. I can work out what 'Inv' means, but what's 'Exp'? Could anybody who's had any success at flying helicopters from an RC in FMS please supply their settings and connection details? I don't really want to break my new toy just because I've no idea how it's supposed to respond to the controls. Thanks a Lot:)

ABSOLUTELY!!!

That's the answer. I wondered what all that Nick, Roll & Pitch stuff was for. No magic drivers, no simulation of game paddles, just bung it into COM1 and use Mapping/Calibration to map the bottom four options to channels 1,2,3 & 4. Does it matter if the top four "aeroplane" options are blanked out? I'll try it out.

I'll also have to do some juggling because of the channel use on my helicopter, which doesn't match the FMS defaults. e.g. My RC swaps the Nick and Pitch features and calls the right hand stick's channels 1 & 3. Thus Channel 1 is Pitch, but it's the right hand stick.

Thanks a million.

Greetings all,
My 12 yr old son recently bought the Dragon fly helicopter, we have been trying to get the flight sim to function properly on our PC (running XP), key board works great, but the RC will not. I have tried everything, except for the one thing that will make it work. Any suggestions?. I am glad my son realizes the importance of the sim b4 trying to fly the helicopter.
Thanks

hi i wasnt able to make a new topic but i have a Hitec Eclipse 7PCM radio and i have a JR Venture 30CP Helicopter, now i dunno the 4 wires i need to make my own patch cord from the radio to usb, but thats another topic question is where you guys getting helicopter programs to run with the FMS? and if there really isnt where can i get a helicopter addon to the FMS simulator to work with my Eclipse 7pcm radio? as i like to practice before flying it first time
