Havin a lil problem setting the Phoenix Simulator up with my CX-2 TX as I'm not sure what control sposed to do wat on CP's

So far I got

LEFT STICK up and down - Throttle
LEFT STICK left and right - Rudder
RIGHT STICK up and down - Elevator
RIGHT STICK left and right - Collective Pich and Aileon/Roll

Prob I'm having is heli goes forward and back ok but side to side it kinda looks like it's doing what it sposed to with the right input and crashes to the ground with I apply left.

I'm sure I have the last control setup wrong. Any ideas

Cheers

I'm fairly new at this but I can tell you that Throttle & Collective pitch are both on the LH up down stick on a real heli. Collective is normally channel 6 and mixed with throttle in the TX.

Thanks will try now

hi - collective should be mapped to the throttle [left stick-up/down]

any more probs - just email [email protected]

That did the trick thanks, now onto the very steep learnin curve, lol

I'm weakening. I have convinced myself that I can and will learn all of my piloting skills in the real world, but I keep hearing of successes from the sim pilots. So, can someone recommend a decent (not exceptional) sim for my CX? I don't have a CX2, but I will when someone sends me one so I can update my CX setup paper online (yep - still waiting. It doesn't have to be a new one. But I should have a DX7 to work with also. In the name of research of course.)
Anyhow, I do have the CX with no output connections and a Falcon 40 with a buddy system connection. I acn't imagine that a new CX2 Tx would cost much. Anyhow I guess I need some information about the sims, controllers, cost and source for a sim so I can make an educated assessment. (I caught just a bit of a Bonanza rerun and heard Ben Cartwright say "Education!? I'm all for education - as long as it doesn't effect your thinking!"

Hi Soloboss, I've tried a few in the past, but Phoenix is the first time I've ever really tried one with a propper TX setup and atm I'm crap so I guess it's quite realistic, lol

It works fine with the supplied cable with me CX-2 LP5DSM Spektrum TX

I read your guide btw, very nicely done, will be a reference for me for a while to come I'm sure. 1 thing though is when I tried to screw in the screws on the TX mod there felt more resistance not less so I loosened um insteadand there feels slightly less resistance now, but I wouldn't say it's Ideal, still locks from side to side. Main probb is with the rudder as I increase or decrease throttle when I don't wanna.

Gettin back to Phoenix though, it's prolly the best value for money and support seems good both technical and TX wise and updates will always be free. Until Phoenix 2 I guess anyhoo. : )
