Where could I find info on making FMS cable to suit JR XP642 and/or Hitec Eclipse7.

Thanks

there is some great information in the documentation that comes with the FMS software about how to make an interface for many radios. you can also search on yahoo for plans. be very careful that you choose an interface that will work with your operating system. the cheaper interfaces do not work with winXP/2000. you will need to program a pic chip for those.

I have a simblaster (www.simblaster.com) cable for sale. (PIC gameport version) Works with XP and older Win9x systems... $35 shipped

I ended up buying Realflight G2 and no longer use it...

Drop me an e-mail if interested...

pwkpete,

Why did you end up purchasing RealFlight?

With the current deal at Tower ($185 with Add On 3 and Shipping included for Super Saver Club) I am considering the purchase also.

I ordered an FMS interface cable for Windows XP the begining of last week and still waiting.

Is the heli simulation better on RealFlight?

This is not heli related, so it is going over with a redirect of course though.

I purchased Realflight because the heli simulation in FMS just doesn't cut it... Realflight has the best Heli simulation I've tried, although Piccofly does a good job simulating the Piccolo, and if you can do that one, any other heli sim will be no problem :)

hey thats a huge collection of planes where do you click to actually download them? or are you selling them??

i have quite a collection of free planes to download on my website under FMSPLANES. the planes on my site are owned by their creaters and cannot be bundled for sale or free distribution without written permission from each designer.
