Hi everybody.
I just Buy a Futaba SkySport T4YF Radio System.

Thanks...

You should be able to connect that transmitter to almost any simulator. The actual connector will vary based upon which simulator you use. Do you have a particular sim in mind? I use Realflight G3.5. This came with a connector cable that allows me to use my Futaba transmitters with Realflight.

So the simple answer is "yes you can". However you need to determine which sim you want to use. There are several commercial and a couple of shareware / freeware sims available. RealFlight, FSOne, FMS and others.

If you have no cable or controller with the copy of AFPD you have, then you don't actually have AFPD[&o]
Good luck,
Pete

Of course, except for the freeware FMS, you will need for every commercial simulator the original dongle connected to your PC.

Nah, the normal reason given is "The dog ate it" At least that's the excuse I usually gave the teacher when I forgot to do my homework.
Cheers,
