AFPD only finds two Channels
I just installed AFPD for the first time. The TX Im using is a Hitec Flash 5sx. When I go into Calibration is says "transmitter with 2 channels detected" I should have 5 channels detected. I tried everything. Im thinking there might be a problem with trainer port on the tx. I only have one TX to use AFPD. Help please a I want to fly now. Thanks.

RE: AFPD only finds two Channels
I wonder if this will work for Temp solution until I can call Ikarus Support. BTW anyone know their support hours. I will have to stay home from work to call them.
I plug in the Interface Cord into USB and I plug my FMS Parallel Cord and TX into the Available Parallel Port. I wonder if AFPD will find my TX on the Parallel Cord and detect the correct Channels. This will prove that my Radio TX Trainer Port is good and the AFPD Cable is Bad. Things would be easier if I had a Second TX to rule out a Good or Bad Cable. I really want to fly this Sim the right way because I waited months to get this sim.

RE: AFPD only finds two Channels
Well come to think of it thought I read that you can use a Joy Stick Plugged into a Game port to use with AFPD as long as you have the Interface cable plugged in. So I think it would the same for a TX plugged into Parallel Port. I will try this out tonight. What harm can it do.

Yes, you can use your FMS cable as long as you have the Interface plugged in!
