Careful using certain transmitters on Sims!!!

E-flite transmitters and FS One simulators do not mix!

I just purchased FS One because it contains the Blade CP series which I have. So I bought the trainer cord and plugged it in. Well I started to smell smoke and I quickly unplugged it only to find it was too late! I wrote Fs One and they said it was not compatible (although that was no where in the manual) and horizon hobbies would try to take a look at my controller, but I didn't want to wait for that. So I bought a Hitec optic 6 which is compatible with my FS One sim and it seems to be great for my helicopter as well. I just need to figure out how to program my idle up switch. So just to let you guys know buy the program with the controller it comes with because it will save you a headache having to set up your own transmitter with different helis and planes on the sim, and it's only 20 bucks more.

Here's an article on how to build a cable to use the E-Flite radio with a sim...

Wow I think if I had the ambition I would do that but after going through all of this, I should have just got the controller that goes with the damn sim. Live and Learn. Kinda cool somebody actually figured that out though.
