On Microsoft FS X, will be able to use Hitec Neon SS with USB interface?

I'm getting setup to use my Hitec Neon SS with USB interface on the free FMS. Will I also be able to use this setup on the Microsoft Flight Simulator X? I've called Hitec, but they did not know. Rich

As long as Windows recognizes it as a game controller you should be able to get it to work. I've made my Optic 6 work with FS2004. I don't know about the throttle slider on your Neon though.

Flying the full-size planes with the transmitter just doesn't feel right though, and won't really provide you a good learning experience that will translate to R/C. I'd suggest using a regular joystick or flight yoke for the Microsoft simulator and only use dedicated R/C sims to teach you R/C flying.
