FMS support CCPM?

[mrchow]

Is FMS support CCPM mode transmitter?

I'm using E-Sky2 tranmitter to play FMS and it works very strange. When I use back the old E-Sky transmitter, it works fine! :eek:

Does anybody know how to solve this?

I am interested in this question also as I am getting a E-Sky II CCPM helicopter next week and wouldn't mind practicing with it on FMS or easyfly.

All the helis in FMS fly as if they are collective pitch rather than fixed pitch but you have no control over the collective mix, the throttle stick effectively acts as 100-100-100-100-100 for the throttle and 100-50-0-50-100 for the pitch which means that you hover at half stick, the upper half climbs and the lower half decends. If you want to climb inverted (say) then from half stick hover roll the heli inverted then pull full down on the throttle giving full negative collective and the blades will effectively "blow upwards" (which is now downwards!) and the heli will climb.

If you want a sim where you can practice setting throttle/pitch curves in your Tx and see the effect in the sim you need one of the "real" sims like AFPD, G3 or XTR. XTr is widely considered the best heli sim there is right now (which is why I've got that one!)

Funny thing is I don't fly helis any more cos 3D foam planes are as much fun and cost about 1/10th in spare parts!

We are glad to announce the availability of Serial PIC interface for ESky Honey Bee 2 CCPM transmitter:
www.milehighwings.com

It implements the CCPM un-mixing algorithm, which sends the un-mixed stick deflections to the simulator software.
