RC sim.(heli) for mac with usb to transmitter...
Hi...
i have a 12'' powerbook, with os x tiger an usb interface from www.mftech.de, and can use my hitech laser 4 as a mouse for my computer, so i works. I've downloaded 'RC heli simulator', and it works too, but i can't get it to detect my flight controler... any tips? on the danish equivalent to rcuniverse i was told to get a real pc, but i still need the simulator and drivers for my controler to be compatible with a unix core...
my name is steen...

Steen,
RC Heli Sim has an utterly crappy code for axis detection... With a USB interface from www.milehighwings.com, it takes several attempts befor the sim picks the right axis. When you move a stick in, say, vertical direction, there's always a small horizontal movement component (because you can't move the stick perfectly vertically), and the sim picks whatever signal it sees first (in this case, horizontal movement) without comparing the magnitudes of several visible signals. One way to get around it is to try moving sticks several times until the correct axis is detected. The onther way is to manually edit configuration file. With every interface purchase, milehighwings sends a CD with a detailed description how to overcome this RC Heli Sim problem.
One thing that looks suspicious about your interface is that "use my hitech laser 4 as a mouse for my computer". A joystick interface should not report itself as a mouse! May be this is the reason that the simulator doesn't detect it. Milehighwings interface reports itself to the system as a USB joystick, this works with all simulators including RCHS.
