You have to calibrate in window..otherwise Window won't recognize any signals for any games, sims, and etc.
FMS runs in Window. This is where you can calibrate a gamepad to act more like your TX....by taking out
the gain , adjusting the exponents or sentivities...because Gampads are more sensitive than a TX.
Then calibrate in whatever software or sim you're using.
Kind of like programing your Computerized TX. Another way to make a model less sensitives for new comers
is to adjust the gain cruve in your TX. Make the sticks less sensitive at center...not just the expos (max throw).
In a computerized TX..you can also adjust the expo only on one side of the stick. Very useful when adjusting the throttle
but also useful when you get a model that rolls more on oneside than the other.
In a none computerize TX, when you adjust the expos..it's for both side of the sticks.
All you have to do is plug it in to a USB 2.0 port and windows will see it as an HID device. Configure it in FMS as a joystick. He has a 6 channel radio with dual rates. Why would he want to ladjust the gain when he has dual rates?
I use an older 6X with my sims and I've never calibrated it in windows. FMS, FS1, and RealFlight could care less what windows thinks it has. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even show up in the game controllers. I could configure it as a generic joystick or gamepad, but there's no need to because the 3 sims I have load their own set of drivers.
... Anyways, Paulaballa, did you get your TX to work with FMS ?
