Default RE: Help with E-Sky Flight Simulator trainer

Hi, thanks for the response. Yes, Ibought the program and the USB controller that came in the box. I'm not sure of the sim, they don't list it on the outside of the CD, but I'll check. I'll check for that link, and Ido appreciate the help.

Did you purchase the USB controller that comes with the simulator?

If so the Simulator they use is FMS.

There is a link here which Nitrostaff1 posted that contains detailed instructions on setting up FMS to use that controller.

If you can view the movement of the sticks in the Windows Game controller control panel applet, it WILL work once the changes are made.

FMS was originally designed to work with a custom PIC circuit to hook up real RC controllers. Joystick support was added later.

As a result the program is not very use friendly when it comes to setting up a new Joystick/controller and it is somewhat cryptic.

Try a search for FMS and E-Sky here ( just in this forum, using Search at the bottom ) and you should come up with the link.
