. Simulator & Interface Instruction Sheet attached.

FMS Program and Multiplex Models for FMS - (Freeware) - [Hitec Transmitter Setup for FMS as per attached .pdf]

Aurora 9 - Simulator Interface Function Set-up:
1. Plug Dongle into a USB Port on PC, plug Mono Plug into "Trainer" socket on rear of Aurora TX.
(A Mono plug is used with SIM whereas a Stereo plug is used in Buddy/Trainer/Slave/Data Transfer mode)
2. Switch TX On. Do NOT touch the "Transmit - "Yes" or "No" buttons on Initial Screen,
simply wait for a few moments more and the "[MULTI - I/O]" Icon will appear below
the "Hitec" logo on right lower corner of screen.
Refer to Hitec Aurora Data Transfer Video.
3. Select "[T.Pupil]" and proceed as normal to set up as detailed in the "Clearview, FMS & RCDP
Settings Instruction sheet" attached this post.
There is no need to remove the module.
Aurora 9 does not transmit RF when used in [T.Pupil] (Simulator) mode.
4. Do Not try running any type of transmitter off a wall charger, whilst using a simulator,
this as charger outputs half wave rectified, unregulated and unfiltered DC.
Transmitter cannot function correctly on other than a smooth fully regulated
battery type power source.
(Reason why transmitter charger jack is shut off when the transmitter is turned on.
User will notice that if transmitter is turned on whilst charger is connected, the red LED
on the charger goes out to indicate it is no longer charging.)

j). Linux & Mac
Aerofly Pro manual "AeroFly 5 uses the programming interface OpenGL, Version 2.1 upwards to display the 3D graphics
Contrary to Direct3D (DirectX), OpenGL also operates under systems that are not Microsoft Windows-based
systems, e.g. Apple Mac OS X and Linux. We urgently recommend installing the current 3D drivers for
your 3D graphics card before installing AeroFly 5. For this purpose, visit the website of the manufacturer
of your graphics card (www.nvidia.de or www.ati.de). Current NVIDA and ATI drivers in particular support
OpenGL Version 3.1. on up-to-date 3D graphics cards so that Aerofly 5 not only operates faster but also
looks better.

Whilst I do not have access to V2.5, suggest after setting Aurora to your selection of switches etc,
open Phoenix 2.5 set up menu on your PC, as attached (not an actual A9 setup), and adjust as required.

1. Turn Aurora on without Sim Cable attached, select Model > [Monitor] and confirm aileron is working correctly.
If not, reset model parameters and re-check aileron channel assignment.
Alternatively, check ailerons are working correctly using an Optima, battery & and servos on bench or in a model
- If AOK then no problem with TX.
2. Re-check channel assignment in G4 setup menu and in need

Just to inform, I had the same problem with Aurora 9 x PhoenixRC. I read your message and add the aileron on channel 9 and rudder on channel 6. Now the aurora9 works fine in phoenix. Thanks for the tip!
