SIMSTICK Pro / RealFlight 6.5 / Spektrum DX9 - Any success? *PLEASE HELP*

[ShaneXman]

How's it going guys? Has anybody successfully setup, mapped and flown on RealFlight 6.5 with a Spektrum DX9 using a SIMSTICK Pro?

I've been trying to get my DX9 working just as my Interlink Elite Controller does, but I am having a heck of a time doing so. I've tried "Pass Through" and "Software Radio", and neither seem to work for all commands from the Interlink Elite Controller. Any and all insight, steps, channel mapping, channel assignments, screenshots, pictures, etc. that will help me get everything setup properly would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Try broadening the question.

Anyone used RF 6.5 or 7 with SIMSTICK (normal or pro)?

You can try narrowing the problems from there. I've use with DX8 as direct connect through the Interlink, but do not have SIMSTICK to try that way. (Also not at home to experiment).

I used simstick with a DX7SE back with real flight 5.5.
5.5 and 6.5 are very similar, 7 is very different. Do your best to avoid channel mapping in real flight 6.5. Its buggy.. and the mapping will disappear every once in a while. Do everything you can in the radio.
I’d recommend learning to connect a radio to the interlink with a cable before trying to do it with the simstick.

Good point! Thank you.

That's exactly what I was doing, channel mapping. So you're saying the best bet would be "Pass Through"? I'll try that again and see if I can get it to work.

I really didn't have an issue with the left or right stick movements, it was the switch mapping that wouldn't sync up properly.

Channel 5 - Dual Rates Switch
Channel 6 - Flaps / Gain Knob
Channel 7 - Smoke / Retract / Throttle Hold Switch
Channel 8 - Mode / Idle Up Switch

Well, I'll try again and let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for chiming in.
