Does anyone know if I can use the USB Tx that comes with FSM with other simulators in the market such as the Phoenix or the Aerofly or RealFlight?

Thanks

I wouldn't like to say for sure, sorry! But I've just been to the Phoenix site and found this info:

The current supported transmitter list is as follows:

All JR MC/MX (no adaptor required) - ** MC-series requires "DSC Interface" Accessory **
Spektrum DX6/DX6i/DX7 (no adaptor required) - ** NOT new DX7 Special Edition "SE" version **
Spektrum DX5e (adaptor required)
All Futaba (Futaba round or square adaptor required)
Futaba FX-18 with 2.5mm stereo training port (FX-18 adaptor required)
All Hitec (Hitec adaptor required)
All Multiplex (Multiplex adaptor required)
All Sanwa RD and RDS series (Sanwa adaptor required)
E-sky (Mini-DIN adaptor required)
Co-Pilot (Mini-DIN adaptor required)
Blade CX-2 (no adaptor required)
Art-tech 100B (no adaptor required)
Art-tech 100C (Art-tech 100C adaptor required)
Walkera 2401, 2601 (Using MINI-DIN adaptor supplied with transmitter)
Walkera 2801 (adaptor required)

Please note that the following transmitters are not supported:

No USB controller devices/joysticks
All Walkera except 2401, 2601 and 2801 (see above)


I'm not sure how close the FMS Tx is to any of those, I think the E-sky one is probably the closest match.
I would e-mail the Phoenix guys ( info@phoenix-sim.com ) and ask them directly. I've got the Phoenix sim, it's excellent and e-mail response is usually quick.

I'm not sure about Realflight. I have the G4.5 but use the Tx interface that comes with it. Come to think of it, you probably can't use another simulator Tx because you need to connect any external transmitters (ie your own) through the Realflight interface Tx and not directly to the pc. If your FSM Tx only has a USB lead, you won't be able to do this.

Dear Pete

Thanks for the info.
