I do love this simulator and I am determined to get it working better for me.
I originally tried running AFPD with my Futaba Super 8 transmitter. Seemed OK to begin with but I soon noticed some bad "glitching". When I try to calibrate, I can see the bars jumping quite a lot so I know there is an issue somewhere.
I tried my older Futaba transmitter and AFPD would not even 'see' it.

I borrowed a friends Hitec 5 transmitter and it works great. Now I think the DIN plugs on my transmitters are bad. Tried switch cleaner; no luck.

I think I will have to invest in the game commander to use AFPD (an upgrade to the Futaba 9 channel is not in budget right now!)

Any other suggestions? Anyone seen this before?

Is your RF section disabled?

I do pull the module out and have the transmitter turned on...is that what you mean?

Trust me your not the only one with this problem,,and they dont understand why it does it or dont care either,,,,,i use both a 7CAP,,and a 9Cap,,they both jitter on the controls,,kind of hard to practice when its jumping all over the sky,

So, NdFrSpeed, what do you do? I am considering buying the commander, but I am disappointed that I have to go there.

I use a old futaba conquest. I had the same problems till recently. I had the cable hooked directly into the computers USB port and constantly had jittering. Well, for christmas I was given a digi cam and had no usb slots left to hook into for the dock. I went to walmart and bought a 4 port USB hub so I had some more slots. I hooked up the cam, working good and I hooked the control back up, to my surprise, NO JITTERS! I dont know why, but this hub has completely stopped the jittering. I was in disbelief, I hooked it back to the usb port on the comp and it jitters like crazy, but through the hub, none!! I wish someone could explain this to me.

OK, I found my problem, but this is wierd!
I run AFPD on my laptop and I noticed that when on the laptop battery power all was ok. I found two a/c outlets in my house (on the same circuit) cause the USB interface to go crazy. I can replicate this problem at will. I took the laptop to the hobby shop to demo APFD and had the same problem running on a/c power - switch to battery and all is OK! Seems the laptop/interface is sensitive to 'dirty' power. Oh well...threw me for a long time!!

Did you sowiso loaded the last patch?

i have a old futaba super 7 that works fine with my AFPD. others should work too with no problems
