to expand on Jorge's response:

go to the FMS web site and make sure you have the edition that will work with W7!

also if you could elaborate what kind of trouble you're having, i.e. pitch, roll, yaw not responding??

p.s. it may say it's a 6ch sim but in truth it's a 4ch!!

I tried everything I could find to get FMS (which came with my heli) to run on Wnindows 7. I gave up. But in my search I did find a free simulator for helis called helisim. It is setup to emulate a 450 size heli, not elaborate but it works for basic orientation and flight training. Download it here: http://www.marksfiles.net/HeliSim/ I have since bought Phoenix but for basic heli training helisim works great. I'm told it is better than FMS for heli training anyhow.
