Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Well a better photo would be good. Get your camera manual and select macro mode. That will let you take pics of small things.

It looks like it could be a PS2 connector but without a bettter photo I cant be sure.
Cheers
Will.

if it is the CCPM radio,it has not been created yet.
if it is not,then run a search for sim cables...it will come up.

I've been experimenting with it today and... I get it to work!!

All you need to do is to connect tx to this paralel port interface (the last image shows where is signal and ground on tx), use any npn transistor (I've used bc546) and the resistor should be from 1k to 20k...

So, now you have interface, install ppjoy and follow these steps to install it on XP (start reading at Installation unter Win XP):

I've done this and it works. Btw I found the signal out with headphones...
DONT FORGET TO UNPLUG CRYSTAL! This will save your batteries

My plug is the same sort of style as a ps 2 plug like a keyboard for the computer, would mine still be the same wiring as the one in that link?

yes, mine is also ps2 plug. I am using it from s-video cable.

one thing I cannot get to work is throttle channel on realflight. it is always 33%... in FMS it works ok and in joystick setup too

slovensko,
RealFlight has the protection in the program, will only work with their joystick or from you TX through their joystick.
The original RealFlight ( not Deluxe or G2 ) should work with it though ( the original is very old now and has problems running on anything but Windows 98 )
Stick with FMS, its good and the price is even better ;)
Good Luck

OK ive got all the gear, which pins do i need ot short on the s video cable?

I dont know which (probably that two on the right), but you'll do better if you unplug crystal to deactivate RF...

[Evilhomer]

Ahh OK, so if i unplug the Crystal, i don't need to short anything?

[slovensko]

no, you don't

[Evilhomer]

Awesome, in the process of making it now :)
