One of our R/C club members recently requested my assistance with some computer issues. Resolving the problems required using his system rescue disc to reinstall the O/S. (Vista) When everything was restored to its original system configuration, I reloaded his Aerofly Professional Deluxe and the True Scale Add-on pack.

The sim started up without a hitch, but when he attempted to fly, it appeared that the controller he's using (the Game Commander) was set up as aircraft mode 1. (not surprising, as this is German software...) I stumbled around in the configuration utility and figured out how to reassign the radio channels so that he could fly using mode 2 stick assignments, and he was then able to fly airplanes.

A week or so later, he called me and said that he has a similar situation when he's trying to fly the helicopter models. I didn't think it would be too difficult to figure this out, and went over to try to help. I was wrong. Not being a helicopter pilot, I don't know what channels need to be assigned to the sticks. To make matters worse, he wasn't able to tell me what channel/stick should be assigned to the rotor, etc., despite the fact that he (supposedly) installed the program initially and had no problems with either airplanes or helicopters. I'm sure it's a simple procedure to reassign things, but I just don't know what goes where.

I'm hoping a seasoned Aerofly heli pilot can step in here and clear the fog from my eyes. Perhaps a couple of screen shots showing the Game Commander channels and what functions they're assigned to, would be helpful. I will be more than happy to supply any information that might be required in order for someone to help me solve this conundrum!

Thanks for your consideration.
