Default Re: Freeware Flight Model Simulator (FMS)
[Splinteredbalsa:

If you get a JR trainer cord it doesn't connect to your PC; it connects to another JR radio. You might have noticed that the JR radio has a trainer switch--that's so when the instructor holds the switch in on his radio you'll be able to control the plane through your radio, and when he releases the switch, he has control through his radio. As far as connecting your radio to your PC to use in concert with a simulator such as RealFlight or Easy Fly is concerned, you have to buy a cord that will allow you to do that. They're easy to find on eBay, but make sure you're not buying a Futaba cord. More info on using a trainer cord is available in your radio manual.

What cord do I need to connect my JR radio to my PC?

I have USB ports on the PC and a "buddy box" thing on my radio.

Is it a cord that connects the two?

Thanks
