Reddit reviews GoolRC Flysky SM100 USB RC Helicopter Airplane Simulator for Flysky FS-i6 FS-i4 FS-TH9X FS-T6 FS-T4B FS-GT3 FS-GT2 Remote Controller

That cable is used to update the firmware on the transmitter. You'll need a simulator cable, like this, to play on FPVFreerider.

This works for me on the dx6i and Taranis.

This is what I use on my flysky FS-i6.

I used Liftoff, but it worked for FPV Air 2 as well.

Alternatively you can buy this cable.

Oh I see it has a trainer port but its not a 3.5mm cable like on spektrum the best way to hook it up would buy a cable for it something like this https://www.amazon.com/GoolRC-Universal-Flight-Simulator-Futaba/dp/B00DR4I4O0

Also a vid if u just want to solder up the cable yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF2BIekw2tw

Thank you! I spent 20 minutes earlier this evening trying to figure out which dongle to get for my new Turnigy (For $21 how can you not get one?! :) 9x on osx.

I can't wait to try it on aerofly and fpv free rider.

BTW, has anyone tried the copters on aerofly? Are the physics are pathetic? or is my setup?

Edit: This dongle is only available in the international warehouse w/ $20+ shipping. It appears this one on amazon has free shipping with reasonable estimates on timing http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Flight-Simulator-Cable-Futaba/dp/B00DR4I4O0/ for $10 USD

Where did you get that cable? It looks like it doesnt have any hardware to convert the 9xr signal to something your computer can use. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Flight-Simulator-Cable-Futaba/dp/B00DR4I4O0

If you have the proper adapter these steps should get you up and running:

Hopefully this can help!
"It works, after a bit of work. It seems that my Turnigy 9x, my Mac and FPV-Freerider are a bit sensitive to this whole operation and it took me a week to find the trick, thanks to reddit user /u/flayzeraynx. No driver installs or anything, here's what I had to do: "Connect the USB adapter to your Mac. No need to install any driver. Remove your tx module from the back. Plug the stereo audio cable to the simulator cable slot (its at the back, below the module).. do NOT turn on the Transmitter, the TX will get enough power from the audio cable. Now create and select a new model on your tx(if you have this capability), select acro plane, and mode 2, reverse the elevator channel. Now open freerider on the MAC and select usb controller from the input and select"
Then I also have to calibrate the controller every time I start the app, it's a little annoying, but FPV-freerider is free for one map and cheap to buy the rest. If I bump the USB or the trainer port when I'm in the app, I lose it and have to close the program and start from the beginning. Hope this helps someone else!"

No need for trainer mode or anything like that. The 9xr should power up on its own when you plug in the adapter.

Yes you'd use the transmitter with the computer. The cable loosks something like this https://www.amazon.com/GoolRC-Universal-Flight-Simulator-Futaba/dp/B00DR4I4O0

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I have ER9x flashed and this is the USB adapter I have been trying to use.

I'm having a similar problem, I think. It just doesn't register at all. Nothing installs or pops up when I plug it in and no controllers show up in Windows or simulator settings. The Tx does, however, power up when I plug it in.

Any ideas? Did you have to remove the module for yours to work?

I'd prefer to use the USB adapter over 3.5mm connection. But at this point I'll take anything that works. haha So I'd appreciate any tips you might have. Thanks!
