Hello.
I can`t get my simulator (pre-flight) to work at al.Nothing responds to the movement of the sticks. I have the futaba T6EXHP tx. Is there any one that can tell me how to get this to work.
Thanks for every tip.

I got that sim also to test. I have had no luck in getting the radio to work with it either. I have emailed the company but todate, I have not gotten a response back. I have a Futaba 7chp. I have tried it on two different computers so far with no luck.
Looks like Ill have to continue to use my real flight sim.

I could only get it to work with the controller that came with the Blade CP but even then it was spotty.
Looks like Ill have to continue to use my real flight sim.
You have real flight yet you are still trying to use Pre-Flight? Is there a reason? Pre-flight is horrible compared to Real Flight!!

I got it because they came out with a trex450 model that is suppose to fly just like the real trex..I wanted to see how close it was.

Hello again folks.
So there isn`t any good advice around here. I have tried with the picjoy....and i can se the parameters moving, responding to the movements of the sticks. Even tried with ppjoy. No luck there at all. Can`t even get it to work with fms. Does it have to be a usb interface to get it to work properly?

Wow..just got my Pre-Flight going and it is sure full of problems. As to the main reason for malfunctions, it's the audio level coming in (mic level). On the calibration screen, you need to see 80--200 on the level coming in. I could only get 40 out of my tower PC- but the laptop gave 150. Then the Sim started working. Thing is, either I'll never be able to fly my new 450se because it is way too difficult to fly CP helis, or this sim sucks in modeling a 450se with a HH gyro. I hope it's the latter. I had to trim the heck out of the TX to get it centered. The Auto-calibration routine does not inspire confidence. You HAVE to do all three flight modes with it. I get this thing off the ground and it starts to toilet bowl on it's own. The docs suck and they didn't send the bonus stuff that the EBAY ad said they would. I have no confidence that this is modeling a 450se. I'll be looking for the free sim next. Bob :arggg:

I had preflight for awhile (the blade cp edition), it wasn't anything like the real thing, I mean I guess flew sorta like a blade, but it seemed to have a gyro that worked, tail control and every other flight didn't end with the tail motor locking up sending it spiriling to the ground, not very realistic at all.
I've now graduated from Warner Brothers to Phoenix, I can tell you this is the difference between a Yugo and a Corvette, well worth the extra $, I do miss hitting the horse though.
