Would appreciate some help.....

I have installed the FMS Version 2.0 Alpha 8.3 software and connected the E-Sky 0905A 4 channel USB controller to my Compaq 1215US laptop. My problem is that I get no response from the controller. I can't calibrate or anything. Does anybody have any ideas? I do have the E-Flight CCPM 6 channel controller that came with my helicopter if it would be easier to hook up. Thanks for any help offered.

It might help if you say what USB controller (or transmitter and interface) you are trying to use....there are a lot of different ones out there.

Does FMS respond properly to keyboard commands?
?

Yes the commands on the keyboard seem fine.

OK. Got the controller to work, but the aileron directions are reversed. Left goes right and right goes left !!! What am I missing on the mapping screen?

Not to much help here....Thanks anyway

Check Inv box.

For the benefit of others experiencing similar problems, please take the time to post how you got your sim controller to work.

This is what I did to have my E-sky 0905A USB controller recognized in Windows XP. This controller was packaged with my software.
I plugged in the controller to the USB port then installed the software. I then shut-down Windows XP completely. Waited 30 seconds and restarted. I then went into "Control Panel" selected " "Game Controllers", and highlighted the "ADC" game controller. After highlighting the controller "ADC" I pressed on the "Properties Button" and then the "Settings Tab". In the "Settings Window" I followed the instructions for calibrating the controller then pressed the "Apply Button" when finished.
I then started FMS, selected "Controls" on the menu and under "Analog Control", picked "Joystick Interface" . I calibrated the controller again. I tried FMS too see what joystick was doing what on my helicopter. I went back into the "Joystick Interface" area and changed the mapping under the "Channels Column" to "4213, 4213". My aileron control was backwards so I checked the "INV" boxes aside of the "Aileron" and "Roll" channels.
After doing this I was flying my "Helicopter".
