I just bought a new computer and am about to download FMS onto it. Forgive me, but I'm not very confident of my computer abilities.

Is there anything I should know or do?

Thank you for helping a computer nim-wit.

Thanks, aeropal.

That support page should be able to help. As far as controllers, I'm pretty well set. I have an old DOS sim called "R/C Aerochopper" that uses a fake Futaba TX that came with the sim. It looks like it uses what I think is referred to as a USB. If that doesn't work I guess that I'll need an interface cable to connect my real TX.

Thanks again

My guess is that your OS will see the USB "TX" as a joystick, and that it should work fine.

Let us know how it goes.
