1. 6CH G4 XTR5.0 RC SIM for Helicopter | Best Budget

Editor’s Rating: 4.6/5
Consider this simulator if you’re new and would like to experience how a sim might help. It costs less than 40 dollars (at the time of writing) and is quite a versatile tool.

6CH G4 XTR5.0 Sim Highlights

This simulator does a reasonable job at mimicking real-world flight scenes. The transmitter connects to a regular computer via USB, which means it doesn’t need external power. The device supports a variety of Flying Model Simulator (FMS) software and is a step up from gaming pads.
Cons: The controller feels a little cheap to the touch but works okay. It can also take some playing around to calibrate the throttle control. It’s still a decent tool despite the few negatives.

R/CUSB-Interface for flight simulators

USB-Interface II and USB-Interface III

Versions

  • learn and train model flying without the danger of a crash, independent on weather daytime or your flight instructor

  • works with nearly all R/C transmitters (Graupner, Futaba, Multiplex, Hitec, Walkera, .)

  • works with nearly all R/C receivers (Graupner, Futaba, Multiplex and compatible)

  • runs with most simulators (FMS, Realflight G2, Piccofly, Easyfly, Aerofly, games, .)

  • no hand-soldered cheap schlock but machine-made goods of quality

  • simple installation, no driver needed

  • axis and buttons are programmable

  • future-proof due to updateable software, programmable with self-made software, SDK available

Overview

USB-Interface II

USB-Interface II with Fu6sq transmitter cord

Technical data USB-Interface II

The RC-USB-Interface has some enhancements compared to the Gameport Interface:

  • It can be used by modern notebooks equipped without gameport.

  • supports USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Hot-Plugging and is powered by USB

  • works with all transmitters: Though easily exchangeable transmitter cords, you can use one USB-Interface for different transmitters

  • Up to 9 RC channels are transmitted to the PC. Consequently, you can also control flaps, retractable landing gear, . in suited simultators with the R/C transmitter.

  • channel assignment: R/C channel 1 to 7 -> joystick axis 1 to 8, R/C channel 5 to 9 -> button 1 to 8

  • The small tremble of the model rudders (due to many analog-digital convertions:PPMA -> µcontroller AD -> RC-unit DA -> sound card AD -> simulator) is reduced by the completly digital working RC-USB-Interface (PPM A -> µcontroller AD -> USB client D -> USB host D -> simulator).

  • fast and precise digitalization with 256 steps

  • flashing control LED

  • The USB-Interface II is programmable: Assignment of axis and buttons, reaction of buttons can be reprogrammed quickly and easily.

  • since Okt. 2006 updatable firmware: The Interface is prepared to understand future transmission modes of new transmitters. (look for firmware updates in the Forum, e.g. Walkera PCM WK-0701, 3000 steps resolution, .)

    • Compatibility

    After having installed the HID-driver (HID-driver, Windows included), the USB Interface is instantly ready for operation on Win98 SE, WinME, Win2000, WinXP (instruction manualusb-interface_en.pdf [210kB]), LINUX, Mac OS X (Screenshots osx.pdf [280kB]), . (in general: all O/S that support HID USB joysticks). It has a 2m cable and works with nearly all R/C transmitters equipped with a buddy box.

    The USB Interface works with most R/C simulators that can be controlled by a normal joystick:

    • Aerofly 1.2x
    • Aerofly Pro(with original dongle)
    • Aerofly Pro Deluxe(with original dongle)
    • EasyFly

    Receiver Adapter

    Mac Os Versions

    Receiver Adapter with Graupner/JR servo connectors

    Equipped with the Receiver Adapter you don't need a buddy box connector on your R/C transmitter to use the USB Interface. The Receiver Adapter is connected with the R/C receiver. It reads out the individual servo positions and provides the PPM signal for the USB Interface 2.
