Hitec Flash 7 with flight simulator

[dan3051]

Has anyone tried using the Hitec Flash 7 with any kind of flight simulator?

I have tried hooking it up to my Phoenix simulator, using Phoenix's USB interface, but it is totally dead.

The 1/8" plug of the USB interface fits right into the training plug of the Hitec Flash 7 but the simulator says "transmitter not connected" whatever I do.

When I power on the transmitter no "t-pupil" alternative appears like it does on the Aurora.

No matter if I select "ready to transmit" yes or no, nothing happens.

I've also tried enabling training mode in the menus of the transmitter, assigning a switch to enable training mode, all that sort of stuff in all combinations, but still totally dead.

I might send an email to Phoenix and ask them if the cable they use is a crossover or a non crossover style. That's really the only other thing I can think of. Our system uses a crossover style cable for the trainer ports (as opposed to non-crossover that all auxiliary cables are) so that may have something to do with it.

Thanks for the response.

I needed to make an adapter. A mono plug in the transmitter, a stereo socket in the flight simulator. The tips connected, the sleeve of the mono plug connected to the ring of the stereo socket.

Now it works.

Glad to hear you got it figured out
