lee you've been conned mate.. :)

Phoenix, like a lot of other high end sims comes with its own dedicated interface which provides copy protection for the software. Its not designed to work with any other interfaces or cables and I'm sure it won't work via the keyboard (Ade will back me up here on that one)

If you've been supplied a copy of the CD then I would contact the seller as he has knowingly ripped you off or if its a genuine original CD then he needs to supply the interface as well.

Nope - !

without seing a link to the listing I would say you've been conned mate.

Like I said, it uses a dedicated interface that encrypts the PPm signals coming from your transmitter using its own protocol that only Phoenix uses. The software looks for the dongle and if its not found it won't work. You would have been better off adding another £40 and buying the retail version.

You could try and contact the seller, but my guess is that he knew about this and you will have a job getting your 40 quid back

You could have bought the full product for the price of both of these things !

BTW Its over £18 so you will get hit with duty, VAT and a handling charge when it comes in to the UK !

£36 all in. I emailed the seller today
