I just posted info regarding the Falcon 3D and the FMS setup and although you will be getting the G3, you should still be able setup your ART-TECH Tx and FMS by design.

Ask ten folks what they think and you'll probably get 10 different answers..........
If you bought the G3 sim for under $200 you did well and you should be able to upgrade to G3.5 once installed, (adds some options). As you’re new to the hobby, you should enjoy the simulator experience however; it's nothing like the real thing.
Not too many Electric Helicopters to date which is why I'm trying to model a Falcon 3D to bring into G3.5 as well as a few other models.
Just remember to be patient, practice, ask for help from experienced pilots and Have FUN!
