How to set up neXt, Jeti - RX2SIM - R4 light

EDIT: I turned this thread from a question to an answer

************************************************** **********************************

I have been using neXt with the RealFlight InterLink Elite controller for over a year. The RF controller was super easy to set up with great step-by-step instructions on the neXt website.

Now I am trying to set up my Jeti radio to work wirelessly with neXt. My equipment:

Jeti DS-16
Jeti R4 light indoor receiver
RX2SIM interface

I added a model to the Jeti DS-16 and set it up as a helicopter. I have not made any channel mapping adjustments on the Jeti radio. The Jeti receiver configuration setup is:

Serial Link: PPM Negative
Increased PPM output from default 17ms up to 20ms

I have the RX2SIM set to PPM, and MODE color is purple.




Thankfully, the Jeti radio is currently working with neXt. I was able to calibrate the sticks. So what I have working right now are:

Rudder (Left Horizontal)
Collective (Left Vertical)
Aileron (Right Horizontal)
Elevator (Right Vertical)




Now I want to set up the other features:

Restart
Flight Conditions 1 to 4
Autorotation
Self Leveling
Landing Gear
Throttle

What do I need to do to the Jeti radio and the neXt simulator to make these features work? Do I need to untick any of the "On/Off" boxes on the Channel Overview or Buttons columns? Do I need to setup Flight Modes (Autorotation, Idle 1, Idle 2, etc.) and adjust the throttle curves on the Jeti radio? Thank you in advance.

So I made some progress. I set up Autorotation/Throttle Hold and Flight Conditions 1-4. These are the throttle curves I used:

Autorotation/Throttle Hold: 0-0-0-0-0

Flight Condition 1: 25-25-25-25-25 (Soft)

Flight Condition 2: 50-50-50-50-50 (Medium)

Flight Condition 3: 75-75-75-75-75 (Hard)

Flight Condition 4: 100-100-100-100-100 (Expert)

I also set up a throttle curve of 0-25-50-75-100 for multirotors and the airplane.

Now I still need to figure out how to activate "Self Leveling" and "Restart". I would also like to set up "Landing Gear", but it is not a priority. I would also like to learn what "Throttle" is for. I also would like to learn whether on not I need to untick any "On/Off" boxes on the "Channel Overview" and "Buttons" columns.

I figured out what was happening with the "Restart" and the "Self-Leveling". I have both of those functions assigned to a Momentary Button Switch and a Spring-Loaded Switch, respectively. The key here is to hold the switch in position while clicking on the "NEXT" prompt.

I can't wait to set up mine.

Nice Work!

I recorded these 4 videos to hopefully help someone else setup the Jeti radio to work wirelessly with the neXt simulator using an RX2SIM interface.
