I am trying to get FMS to work with my JR TX on Windows ME. The computer is a PIII, 900mhz, 256k. I bought the Hobby Lobby connector (CCM202 Interface Connector for JR transmitters) which plugs into the printer port. I cannot get any response at all from the TX. FMS works fine on the keyboard, just not from the TX. Is the problem the connector? Drivers? Something else? I have searched this site and cannot find any mention of using the HL connector so I thought that might be my problem. Any help would be appreciated!

That interface is sold for and works with the Cockpit Master simulator. I wouldn't expect it to work with FMS. The 2 programs use quite different techniques for reading the interface.

Thanks Steve. I'll stop pulling my hair out trying to get it to work.

Actually, Cockpit Master supports FMS PIC interface in Backyard Edition XL (or something like this), as far as I know. But that interfaces uses a serial port. So, your CockpitMaster is most likely not an FMS PIC interface...

IMHO, CockpitMaster is a pretty crappy software. R/C Plane Master from
http://www.realitycraft.com/
looks way better. You can download their 7-day demo (full featured sim with only 1 plane and 1 field enabled) and give it a try. It works fine with any TX-to-GamePort interfaces (I tried with the one from www.milehighwings.com).
