SmartPropoPlus 3.3.3 released - Improved PPM algorithm

[shaul_ei]

I'm in the process of releasing version 3.3.3 of SmartPropoPlus (http://www.smartpropoplus.com/).
Main area of improvement is stability of PPM signal as described in the release notes (http://www.smartpropoplus.com/docs/ReleaseNotes333.pdf).
You can download it directly from the SourceForge depot:
Generic Version (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smartpropoplus/SmartPropoPlus_3.3.3_PPJ_package.zip) and FMS Version (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smartpropoplus/SmartPropoPlus_3.3.3_package.zip).
Please feel free to comment on it here, as a reply to this post.

any luck on programming this with realflight g3 sim?

[shaul_ei]

AFAIK, Realflight g3 uses it's own controller that does not meet any known standard. If I'm right, then this controller actually serves as an expensive write-protect dongle.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

It works for me.

I down loaded FMS ansd Smartpropo. Could not get my E Sky transmitter to work. I have a E Sky 4 channel with E sky provided cable. Could not get the program to calibrate the transmitter, could not get any control of the device with transmitter.
I also tried with demo version of Pre-flight, same story, no transmitter recognition. http://static.mazdas247.com/smilies/zx11pissed.gif
Don't know what to do. http://seapup.com/Web_Tools/icon_scratchhead.GIF

It is tricky at first, you have to keep trying different settings till it starts to work. The hard part for me was mapping, getting the correct mapping in propo. Once i figured that out i got it to work with FMS, clearview and now with RealFlight.

Just wanted to say thank you for SmartPropoPlus! :D This program, in conjunction with PPJoy allowed me to use my DX6i with FMS and HELI-X flight simulators.

So thanks very much. :D

I updated to 3.3.3 from 3.3 and now I have no signal from my TX, it was working with FMS last night. :( Everything seems fine until I try and calibrate and there in no signal. And now when I start the old version 3.3 it wont work either. What to do, I wanna try the new Heli-X sim.

ussually it works when you restart everything again. in know somebody that has to restart it all the time to make it work.

I deleted/removed both SPP and PPJoy, re-downloaded and re-installed. Restarted and still no signal. I'm using an old Futaba Conquest 4-channel PPM, could the channels have moved from analog 0 thru 3? It acts like the TX is switched off or unpluged.
