Now first I apologize if this has been covered before, but after searching through several hundred posts/threads, i give up, and just have to put the problem to the forum users and hope for the best.
I have a 4 ch transmitter that came with a Dynam Vortex heli. I constructed a cable as show at the SmartPropo site,Installed FMS(2.85),the latest version of Smart Propo(3.3 IIRC), then I installed PPJoy.
Then I followed the directions for setting it all up. and got the transmitter to transmit to the PC, all seemed good, until I tried to fly for the first time, and calibrate the transmitter, I have only 3 channels ?
It seems I have Rudder, Throttle, and elevator. Of course using the channel assignments I can mess around and get a plane flying, but what I really want the sim for is helicopters, so three channels will not cut it for that.
Any ideas at all as to why the ailerons(mode 2:side to side on right hand stick) will not work on the transmitter ?
I have tried all sorts of combinations within smartpropo, and the combo I currently have set up is the only way it will work at all(4 axis,no buttons,PPM(generic), no filters) .
Anyone come across a solution to this vexing problem ??
Much appreciate any help whatsoever,
-Grais.
MOD:whether it makes a difference or not Im not sure, but I just tried out the PPM audio 'thermometer thingie' and I get all 4 channels showing up on it, but same story on sim ?
