hello everyone
I was wondering if any of you know a place where they sale decent RC simulator controllers (only)
not the package with the game & software
I already own the game.
I only need a controller.
How much does a normal decent one goes for?
in question of a pricing?
thanks! again!

What simulator do you have? You can use almost any radio with any sim if you have the right interface cord. You say you already have the sim, what make of radio does your interface cord fit?

You are out of luck getting it running without the interface cord, it will not work. Reflex doesn't come with a controller when you buy it, all you get is the software and a interface cable, you use your own controller (radio).

"I have the software only "
We need to know WHICH software. The reasopn: Some use a proprietary interface like AFPD, Reflex and G3, some use gameport interfaces like MSFS, X-Plane and lot's of others. So please help us with what you have got and we can help you finding a solution.

RCPlane uses a gameport interface (... as far as I know). Whithout a real radio, you can use it with a joystick. Just make sure it is recognised as a game device and use it. If you have a radio with a square socket in the back, that's most probably a Futaba radio. You can get a Radio-to-gameport interface at abt. 25-35 bucks from various sources. milewinghights.com is good for that or try hitecrcd.com - they also have one. You will need a connector from your socket to interface but TH will offer something and milewinghight as well.

Hi
If all you bought was the software you my friend have been had…The legit programs have a proprietary little plug that a cable from your transmitter or a controller provided with the original software plugs into . The program manufacturers have included these interfaces “or keys if you like†to unlock the functionality of their products. It is simply an anti fraud device. Without it your software is of no value.
Have a look around in the flight sim forums on RCU. It seems lots of guys have†bought†software without the ‘Key†and they are all in the same boat…. bert
