Greetings!
I have just purchased an E_SKY Hunter which is a 4 channel, 2.4 Ghz electric heli.
Here is my problem...
I am using a Windows XP, SP3 box with a Logitech USB 3D Extreme Pro Joystick.
E_SKY lets you connect the Transmitter via a USB connection to the computer and provides FMS 2.0 Alpha 8.3 Software for simulation. The instructions for the Heli and FMS software are mainly in Chinese.
When I connected the TX via the USB cable all went OK and the device was "seen" by Windows XP.
However, I could clearly see that there is a conflict with the Logitech Joystick. I can *ONLY* use the FMS software when the Logitech USB drivers are not installed.
Obviously this FMS software is *freeware* and that upsets me a bit, since the two will not work together.
It would appear that "channels 1-4" are used by the Joystick and 5-8 by the FMS/E_SKY controller. It should be the other way around.
I use my Joystick frequently for FSX and would like to have a Heli-Trainer to use with the transmitter, so as to practice first.
Both devices are seen as a HID or "Human Interface Device" to Windows.
Any suggestions? My vendor is HeliDirect.com and they have no clue as how to resolve it, nor does E_SKY have a USA presence for technical support.
To me, each USB device should *not* conflict with one another!
Any help and ideas would be appreciated.
Is there an alternate heli-training software out there that can work with this TX via USB and do the same thing?
TIA
