I have RFG2 with the Tx. interface to my own Transmitter(Futaba, Eclipse). How do I get this interface to run FMS 7?

Mike I don't think the G2 interface will work with the FSM

yea I believe you are correct, but I keep hoping!!!
And you know it baffles me that it does not.

I do know that FMS works with RFG2's cable and false
transmitter, I can't understand why the other way does not.

For what ever its worth RFG2 is an excellent sim,..
but so is FMS

Apples and Oranges ...

The RF, RFD, and G2 software was specifically designed to work with the special dongle based Tx interface. The FMS sim was written to work with its special Tx interface. The two are not the same.

The RF version is somewhat complicated and has a microcontroller in it to partially decode the R/C data. The FMS electronics is just a simple signal buffer -- it does the decoding entirely within its Windows driver. One talks in French and the other in baby gibberish, so to speak.

One the other hand, the dummy/phony Futaba transmitter mimics a standard game joystick. Nearly all R/C simulators have the software drivers to work with such generic controllers.

RC-CAM,

Believe it not even to a mechanically minded guy who knows nothing about elect/software stuff your explanation makes very good sense.
I am going to quit trying to force RFG2 interface TX cable from running FMS and just get the stuff I need to run FMS.

Thanks for your input RC-CAM,
