Hello!
So I just got Reflex, and I love it! Just got my DX7, and I love it!
What I don't love is the fact that I'm having a pretty hard time getting my flight modes to work properly. It seems that negative collective pitch isn't working in idle-up mode. I tested this by starting the sim, and then switching to idle-up without making any stick movements. With the collective/throttle stick at dead bottom, the heli *should* go to full throttle, full negative collective in idle-up. Instead, I get full throttle, full POSITIVE collective when I do this. However, it appears that I'm getting full negative collective and zero throttle in normal mode at full down stick. It's like my throttle and pitch curves are reversed... sort of.
I'm inclined to think that I'm doing something wrong in the channel assignment process. Every time I start a sim, a pop-up warning comes up that states that channel 1 is being used for more than one function. Well, duh, it's a helicopter! Something is happening (or not happening) in my DX7's simulator model, or I'm missing something while I'm doing my channel assignments.
Can somebody help me please? :arggg:
Not that it's all that important that I have negative collective working right, because I'm a bare-assed stark-raving newbie pilot, and at this point the sim is only for orientation practice. But it irritates me to no end when things don't work the way they should.
Thank you!

p.s.- I'm using the latest version of Reflex XTR (5.04.0)
