Hello all
I just installed Phoenix RC on my PC with all the latest updates and am using the radio that came with my Cx2, the Spectrum LP5DSM, and in all of the calibration and controller displays it's levels all are kinda twitchy and do not stay in one spot at all.
I have long suspected this radio to be the reason my Cx2 is impossible to hover or remain stable but now it shows up like this in the Sim as well in both the radio display unit on screen and in the flying performance of any of the helos.
I used to get the same behavior from it with all the other Sims using PPJoy and SmartProPlus, including the same behavior with XP's controller calibrator, but now it still shows up with the Phoenix USB adapter too so I'm really convinced it isn't an interface problem now.
I plan to be building a T-Rex soon with a Futaba 7C 2.4 so I got an adapter for that but I won't be getting that for a few weeks so I can't compare it to anything at the moment.
So my question is, is this normal, do all controller exhibit unstable and twitchy movement in the calibration screens or do you think I have a bad controller?
