Hey Guyz..

Ive been Tryin to get PPJOY working with FMS.. I even Ordered a Serial Port to Usb Adapter to try and get my Honey Bee2 FP 4ch Radio Working...

I have Done Every Tutorial Possible to try and get PPjoy to receive Streaming Data from my controller for nearly a month now since i received my honey bee.... i even selected it to Zhen Hua 5 serial protocol ... Tried everything.. nothing i event tried it on 2 pc's and followed every tutorial i could possibly find.. im out of options... can any one advise me of what i can do? i really dont want to spend more money on a new controller.. im possitive its not the controller because it works great with the honey bee... i just dont want to crash her again:-( i want to practice on sim b4 the real thing again... Cheers

First of all,the PC needs to recognize the port you are using-in my case it is comm1-then ppjoy needs to be set for virtual joystick and usually zhen hua protocol.Once this is done,you leave ppjoy running and minimized then go into FMS.Of course you should have your TX powered on first!Sometimes if you have another device like a game cotroller hooked up it will conflict with the input from ppjoy.Once you get FMS working you need to calibrate your controls and make sure the sticks are assigned the proper inputs.That's about all I can tell you without going into a lengthy step by step explanation-good luck!

Heya thanks for getting back to me... i have followed this tutorial before... and still didnt get anywhere...

http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/SimulatorSetting.html

where it says ( Figure 3 )
in the first drop down on this window select Virtual Port blabla,<--(I dont have the ability to select the 1st drop down menu because its Greyed out & only have the abliity to select Controler type: Virtual Joystick & controller number which i already selected... should this be like that? how come mine is dif to tutorial?

Cheers and thanks for helping

Sorry i ment to say.. that on the Configure New Controller menu:

i have

Parallel Port: Virtual Joysticks (NOT VIRTUAL PORT) like in tutorial <--- This i think could be the problem but dont know how to fix it...

Controller type: Virtual Joystick (GRAYED OUT)

Interface Type: Virual Joystick (IOCTL) (ALSO GRAYED OUT)

Controller number: Controller 1

After you configure controller[I don't know why you don't have virtual port] you exit then open folder ppjoycom-this is where you select virtual joystick and zhen hua protocol.

Is your serial port enabled in the bios of your computer? Check by going to device manager and then expand ports and you should see a com port 1 at least, possibly more than one. Also I tried using a serial/usb adaptor with no luck. I suggest sticking to serial.
