fms2.07 w/ directx8.1 - compatible???

[ham2405]

I had directx6.0 and fms2.06 on computer. With JR/lpt1 interface, controls said I had a signal, but the bar graphs were going nuts. Upgraded to fms2.07 which asked for directx7.0...got 8.1 from microsoft. Now have absolutely no response to the TX. What do I try now???

what OS are you using?

The LPT interface will work only with Win9x.

If you are using Win2k or XP you will have to invest in the PIC interface.

I decided that the laptop I was using was probably the problem...was using it to check out the new interface I purchased for my JR radios before digging behind the tower to hook it up. Plugged the i/f into tower unit, loaded fms2.07 and HAD SOME FUN!!!! Not sure what directx is on the tower...who cares, since it works.
BTW...i/f came from fmscable.com. The bar graphs in calibration were rock steady!
Guess I need to go to another section to find out about trying to fly a heli...tried one and got no control!
