I saw a similar post to mine back in December 2005, but no responses were attached. Being new to RC flying, want to really try the sim first (having read many posts suggesting to do this before flying Art-Tech Cessna).
Having said that, I am on XP Pro with a fast machine and loaded the sim from the CD. Going through various posts here, I saw a number of references to upgrading to the SmartPropoPlus (version 3.1.0) which I did. During Calibration phase, I noticed (much to my grief) that all the controls were backwards....but I went ahead anyways. Started up the sim and sure enough, everything was backwards.....e.g. up elevator sent the plane into the ground, down elevator looped me and then slammed me into the ground, right rudder sent me left (and into the ground), etc...
Whilst I am getting pretty good now at flying this way on the sim (well.....a whole 3 days anyways), I really would like to try the sim with the controls working the way they will when I take the Cessna out for the maiden flight.......
If anyone can provide some insight into this......would be really appreciated!
Thanks
