Fms Rocks!!!
I just got a copy of FMS.... I never thought a flight sim would be sooo much fun!! So easy to setup.... I tried using the keyboard, but quickly learned that it's nothing like a radio. I got a PIC interface cable and hooked up my own radio!! What a balst!! I was doing tail touchs after about 1 hour and knife edge loops and all kinds of fun stuff that I haven't tried with my real rc ailplanes....
I really recommend this SIM....

AV8TOR - The PIC interface cable that I bought from the NewZeland outfit works great with my Futaba SkySport 6 transmitter with power on.

everything for an Interface
This should help!
http://www.heliguy.com/nexus/fmsinterface.html
use this one to build your parellal cable!

use this one for pinout info on your Transmitter.
Airtronics Vanguard 6 ch !
use the Sanwa pic in the above link. Use pin 3 for the ground and pin 5 for the signal.

FMS simulator with Dave Brown box
My Dave Brown controller that I got for Daves first simulator works fine on my windows xp computer with FMS. I have the latest Dave Brown simulator and very rarely use it since I got FMS. I have ordered the serial interface kit from New Zealand. I will probably never use the DB sim again. I will sell it cheap

Dave Brown & FMS with Win NT
I have tried the FMS Simulator with my Old Dave Brown box. It works great. The new version 2.0 v.7 need about a P4 to make it really any fun. I have been flying the Kyosho F-86 saber jet and it really flies just like the real RC plane.Raymond Cervantes

FMS SIMULATOR
Thanks guys for the reply. I have the old Dave B. sim. It never did have sound. It seemed like it sure lacked graphics. The only thing I liked was the helecopter. Then I got to see Real Flight and the planes looked like our model ones we fly. I was thinking about getting the add on for Dave B. Sim, I think that was on a disc instead of a floppy. Something tells me not to. May try the download for FMS. Is it better to put idownload on floppy disks?? Do not know much about downloads. Will a pentium 11 class computor run this ok/ Thanks Captin John

download
Download FMS to your hard disk. Don't fiddle with a floppy. You will need to have a speed of 300 MHZ in order to run FMS with its graphics. Be sure to go into controls and map the channels to the box. My FMS came with the aileron on the throttle.

Thanks 12fly: That sounds logical to me. Does the Ge Force vidio card have a vidio output like s vidio so I could see this sim on my 32 inch JVC TV/? Thanks John

FMS
I have access to Real Flight G2 thru the club I belong to and I have RFCS2001. For realism I think FMS beats them all. It might not be best for a beginer though. But then I haven't downloaded all of the models available.

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't own a CD burner.
BTW just what do these physics calcs do for you? You don't have to hold back in your explaination. I am an electrical engineer and have spent the last 10 years writing software. I never wrote a 6DOF simulator though. I have several friends that have so let us know what you are talking about.
I am just stating my opinion on my observations.
I think you are smarting because you paid $200 and there is something that is just as good for the purpose for free

IMHO, (I hold MS in Aerospace Engineering and Ph.D. in Solid Mechanics, nor I'm a Software Developer for a major CAD company) both FMS and RF G2 have rather poor flight model.
I haven't noticed any significant advantage of G2 when it comes to flight realism.
(I'm talking about planes--people say helies are much better in G2, but I know nothing about choppers.)
What seems to be a strong selling point of G2, is its stunning visual quality. It looks so cool--control surfaces are moving, exhaust is slowly disappearing in the sky, etc.
Just my $.02 worth...

throttle and rudder ( the fix )
In FMS after you install it. You need to change the channel assignments. This is for the messgae about the throttle and rudder question.
I have a made a help page for the install.. If you would like to see it click the link below.

To 12fly
My name is Richard H. Kelly and I live in Mesa Az. My resume is posted on the internet at CE.WEEKLY.COM # kr010431. I am available for software consulting begining at $50/hr. I haven't had many contracts lately due to the poor economy. I've had to lower my price. If you would care to drop by I will show you my computer. Its a 900MHZ Celeron with a 19" monitor. I have no need for a CD burner because I do not sell software to the public. I have the 19" monitor so that I can better fly simulators. One of the things experience tells you is that you don't have to have the most expensive equipment to write and operate software.
BTW you didn't answer my question. What does physic calcs do for you?

12fly,
Nice piece of detective work (how much time have you spent searching?). You are, probably, just another FMS "seller" upset about abundance of low-quality FMS cables on eBay...
Regarding FMS cables "I" used to offer on eBay. They were all made by my friends in the Ukraine (really high quality, lots of good modeling stuff is made there), and my wife was selling these cables under my name. All the profit went to my friends - $100 a months provides a decent living in that poor country.
Regarding my credentials. I hold MS in Aerospace, PhD in Solid Mechanics and another PhD in Mechanical Engineering, a dozen publications in scientific magazins, etc. If you have nothing better to do, you can look at my rather outdated home page here:
http://home.stny.rr.com/sergeev/
Good luck "investigating". You may also go to FMS official forum and reveal me there. I've been posting a lot of my findings on FMS cables there.
