- - cable for FMS? (https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-flight-simulator-software-138/808484-cable-fms.html)

Hello,

I've heard alot about making a home made cable for my radio (Futaba 4VF) to connect to my pc and download FMS. Would there be anyone willing to send me detailed instructions and a parts list to do so? I'm not very computer literate, but would love to try. Not too much extra $ :)

Looks confusing. I think I'll purchase one. Thank you for the reply.

Shane,

Check out "Smartpropo". at http://www.sekiriki.jp/smartpropo/
You connect your Tx to the sound card input (line in) of your PC, using a very simple cable ( 6 pin Din plug, a bit of screened cable and a mono mini jack plug, 2.5mm I think).

You download a dll from the web site above which you place in your fms directory.

The dll reads the sound card like recording a wav file, and turns the audio signal into control inputs for FMS.

I got it working with no trouble on W2K with a skysport 6A.

Dont expect much customer support, as its free and beta... ;)

But check the FMS web site forums for more help and advice...

For me it was less hassle than ordering a made up cable, (I had the bits).

Have fun,

Si.

thank you this is a very good information
