Status: offline 		I just installed AFPD on my new computer and it says it has located the usb, but cannot find the transmitter. I did install the update patch. My new computer is running windows vista, i don't know if this makes any difference. But i haven't used the sim in a long time, and don't have another computer to try it on. I'm using the same transmitter that it worked with before. Is this a problem with the usb cord? I've tried two different transmitters.

Status: offline 		fly4fun, are you using a JR adapter between your JR radio and the usb interface cable? Also, please set your radio to PPM mode

Status: offline 		tbald, you need a GL-compatible 3D graphics card such as the ones listed here http://www.aerofly.com/www/requirements.html The integrated graphics card will not work. Please also take a look at the other system requirements

Status: offline 		I am having the same problem. I am running WinXPH and also running ReflexXTR, Realflight G4, and Aeroflypro Deluxe.
When I connect the dongle it is recognized, when I connect my T9CHP it is not recognized.

I have tried this before starting AFPD and after starting AFPD.

Once it worked for a min or two and then stopped working again!

Status: offline 		Sounds like your adapter may be faulty. Where did you get your adapter from? What is the error message that you see?

Status: offline 		Thank you for trying.

My adapter is working fine, always has. I installed DirectX tried to install the most recent but it does not read that way. Then I reinstalled AFPD and applied all updates in consecutive order from the first to the most recent.
I connected the dongle and the Xmitter and they were recognized and functional. I then restarted the system and AFPD without the dongle and Xmitter connected, while the program was booting up I connected the dongle and Xmitter, the dongle was recognized but the xmitter was not. I then shut down the program, left the dongle and xmitter connected, waited a min or two and restarted the program, now everything is recognized and working.

Guess in addition to reinstalling and applying the updates in order from first to most recent the dongle and xmitter had best be connected before starting AeroFlyPro Deluxe.

It's working. :-}

Status: offline 		Now what I would really like is to have AeroFlyPro Deluxe recognize my RealFlight G4 Interlink Controller.
Right now it does not.
I have all the updates and of course the dongle is plugged into a USB port, but AeroFlyPro Deluxe still does not recognize the Interlink Controller.

Does anyone have a solution that will enable the use of the RealFlight G4 Interlink Controller to practice flying with AeroFlyPro Deluxe?

Thank you for your help.

Status: offline 		Hi Rajul,

The last time I tried, (which was before I read your last messge) I could not find any indication that AerolfyPro Deluxe recognized the controller in anyway at all.
Are you suggesting that I use windows 'Game Controllers' to set up the controller as a joystick? OR are do you simply mean to choose a joystick that indicates 2 sticks, 3 switches, one knob, and ? buttons?

I will of course try that to see if I get any response that indicates the program can see the controller.

Thank you.

OK

From within Aeroflypro Deluxe, I clicked on 'Controls' and 'Aircraft Control Settings' appeared.
I clicked on 'New' first, with Transmitter highlighted,
The configuration window that opened indicated "NEW"
I moved the control arms and switches around and nothing on screen responded.
I then clicked the 'Advanced' button and moved control arms and switches, still nothing responding.
I then clicked on a radio channel button, and in the 'Select channel' window,
moved control arms and switches trying to see if anything showed up, nothing responded.

I tried the same under joystick, and every choice except "USB Interface/GameCommander" was grayed out and not accessible to choose.
Nothing I tried indicated that the "RFG4 Interlink Controller was recognized.

P.S. I have all of the AFPD updates installed.

Status: offline 		In some cases there could be a usb conflict. Try connecting the interlink to other usb ports. When you plug in your G4 controller and then go to your computer's "control panel" and select game controllers, do you see the G4 controller recognized? How did you connect your interlink to the PC? Did you use the cable that goes through the antenna receptacle, or the cable behind the controller?
