The software linked by Banggood are windows drivers and are useless for Mac.

blink slowly if you’ve connected your transmitter to it with the cable and it has detected it without any problem.

stay on constantly if it hasn’t found your transmitter,.

When you connect it to your USB it will flash rapidly for a few seconds. I bought this one from Bangood, I think they all work the same though: (search banggood for "22 in 1 RC Flight Simulator Cable for Realflight G7 G6 G5 G4")įor this dongle at least, there is a white LED inside.

I quickly realized it was necessary to buy a cheap USB dongle to act as an interface or USB “controller” to translate the PPM signal from my transmitter into something that Mac OSX could understand. I hope this thread will help others to use their controller with their mac and flight simulators without expensive or difficult to use additional software. The only answer I could find was using a VM but after about a week I got it to work. With all of that said, has anyone else had this same problem, please? I find it a bit hard to believe the Ikarus would make such a basic design error - if indeed it is an error - but I’m just reporting what I found.Īppreciate any additional comments and/or information.Hi, this is my first post on RC Groups, I had a lot of trouble trying to get my transmitter to control quad flight sims on my mac using OSX and without using a VM (virtual machine) because my mac doesn’t have any VM software installed or set up.

It’s essentially a cross-over cable, with the Tip of the 3.5mm TS/mono jack that goes into the DX9 connected to the Shank of the smaller 2.5 TS/mono jack that plugs into the #3024040 adapter - and vice versa - the shank of the 3.5mm jack connects to the Tip of the 2.5mm jack. Once I got the configuration to work, I buzzed the cable with a continuity meter to figure out the wiring.

Using this, and providing that the USB Dummy Interface jack is only partially plugged in (see attached image), I was able to get eight channels to register with Aerofly RC7 during the Configure procedure and managed to fly the simulator (note: The Mac Book Pro Retina is really not quite powerful enough - the mouse "lags" behind a bit - you also need to click the mouse in the simulator window to get the mouse pointer to appear). I proved the point by using a TRS/stereo socket (female) to a TS/mono jack adapter. The Spektrums expect a TS jack (mono) not the TRS jack that is on the end of the USB Interface cable. While I was experimenting with the USB Interface and the #3024040 adapter, I noticed that occasionally I would very briefly see one, two, four or even eight channels suddenly appear if I gently waggled the 3.5mm TRS USB Controller jack in the back of the DX9.Īnd that proved to be the problem - it appears to be the fact that the USB Dummy Interface uses the wrong kind of jack. Tip/Ring/Shank jack -a jack with three connectors, the tip, a separate ring, and the shank (in the audio world a stereo jack). Tip/Shank jack - a jack with just two connectors, the tip and the shank (in the audio world, a monaural jack). The results are the same - Aerofly RC7 detects the “USB Dummy Interface #1” but regardless of whether I have the DX7s or DX9 plugged directly into the USB Interface or connected via the #3024040 adapter, Aerofly fails to detect the transmitter.īut I found a workaround and it appears to be that the USB Interface uses the wrong kind of jack to connect to the Spektrum transmitters.īefore I go any further let me define a couple of terms:

I have seen some references to selecting PPM - however, there are no reference to PPM in either of the transmitter manuals so there is no hint of how to do this - the only choices in the Frame Rate menu are DSM2 or DSMX.įor both transmitters I start with the transmitters powered off. The transmitters are set to DSM2 and that seems to be important (although I’ve not found any reference to that with Google searches).

I’ve been trying to get Aerofly RC7 working on a Mac Book Pro Retina running Mac OS X 10.9.5.įor transmitter, I was trying to use either a Spektrum DX7s or a DX9 with the USB Interface and the #3024040 adapter.įor both transmitters I have created and selected a new model and set the Trainer mode to Slave.
