Mike - I am over at a fiends house who has purchased and installed AF5 on his relatively new Mac. He has a JR8103 Tx connected to the USB cable that came with the software. When he could not get his Tx to work with AF5, he called and was sent an adapter cable that has a Futaba Square connector and a 1/8" Mono connector. His Tx is still not recognized.

I stopped over, today, to look at his setup. I brought over the USB cable that came with my AFPD, as well.

With his cable, a message pops up indicating that the RC is not switched on. I also cannot calibrate it. I was able to go through the Activation process, successfully, but the Tx will not work.

With my cable, the Tx was recognized and I was able to Calibrate it and fly the default Trainer plane. I could not Activate it, however, because I do not have an Activation Key for my cable and his Activation Key will not work with my cable.

We have tried both 1/8" jacks that came with the AF5 cable and neither on works. His Tx works fine with my cable and my AFPD.

When I click on Controller, it states that the USB has not been configured.

It would appear that the AF5 USB cable is not working and needs to be replaced. How do we go about doing that?

Is there a way he can use my cable, in the meantime, and Activate it so he can fly his other aircraft, until the new cable arrives. AFPD came with no Activation Key.
