USB????

[strupp22]

Hi guys, I have used fms before and had been using a usb cable that worked just fine. I haven't used it for a while and when I tried to hook it up today it didn't work at all. What happened?

The last time I used fms may have been pre-sp2, does that affect it? Can I still use my usb cable and my radio? What can I do to make it work again?

Thanks.

The USB cable should install as a standard Windows joystick. Ensure that it is working correct under Control Panel/Gaming Options. Check the calibration.

If it still does not work under Control Panel/Gaming Options, make sure that your tx is set to PPM. These interfaces does not work when the Tx is set tp PCM or SPCM.

If the interface does not show up under Control Panel/Gaming Options, chances are almost 100% that the interface no longer work. Double check correctness of the connector that you plug into your Tx.

If the interface works under Control Panel/Gaming Options, it should work in FMS as well. Under Controllers, select Analog Control, then Joystick Interface. Calibrate under Mapping/Calibration, and remember to set the channel mappings as well.

Thanks, I looked around last night and found the website of the guy that I bought the cable from. I had purchased it on ebay but he has a support page, turns out I needed to install the driver that came with it. Everything seems to be working now.
