Habu STS RF9.5 DX8 G2
I have a DX8 G2 2.07 and RF9.5. I am using my DX8 to fly a Habu sts at my RC field. I want to use my DX8 with RF9.5 to fly the Habu sts on the sim. His can I set up the sim so the same SAFE switch B operates the SAFE settings for the Habu sts on the sim?

To get the DX8G2 to work with RF9.5, the first thing you'll need is a Spektrum WS2000, which is a USB receiver that will make your transmitter appear to Windows as a game controller.
You bind a model setup on your transmitter to the WS2000, just as if the WS2000 was a real airplane and receiver. Over in RealFlight, you'll then want to set up your controller profile to map the transmitter's channels to channels in the RealFlight software. I've tested the following details with RF8 HHE and a WS1000, but I believe the newer versions still work the same way. Apologies if they do not. Maybe HH made this easier with 9.5??? The translation from Spektrum channels to Windows game controls works like this: Throttle (Spektrum channel 1) = Y-Axis (DirectX Input: Y) Aileron (2) = Z-Axis (Z) Elevator (3) = X-Rotation (Rx) Rudder (4) = X-Axis (X) Gear (5) = Y-Rotation (Ry) Aux1 (6) = Z-Rotation and Button 1 (button is pressed when channel is at -100%) (Rz) Aux2 (7) = Slider and Button 2 (GetSlider(1)) Aux3 (8) = Dial and Button 3 (GetSlider(0)) In RealFlight, you then want to map Windows game controls to RF Channels like this: Channel 1 - Aileron = Z-Axis (in RF8.5, I also had to select "Reverse" on this channel) Channel 2 - Elevator = X Rotation Channel 3 - Throttle = Y-Axis Channel 4 - Rudder = X-Axis (I had to "Reverse" this one too) Channel 5 - Dual Rates = Unassigned Channel 6 - Flaps = Z-Rotation Channel 7 - Smoke = Unassigned Channel 8 - Mode = Y-Rotation So you can see that throttle, elevator, aileron, and rudder all get connected through from the controller to RF. The Flaps channel on the transmitter, Aux1, goes to Channel 6 in RF. The Gear channel on the transmitter, most commonly used to control the SAFE flight modes, is Channel 8 in RF. That's how you would set up the controls in order to make RF work like your Habu. |

Thanks. I hope all of that is still accurate with RF9.5. I don't see why it wouldn't be, but anything can happen.
I'd upgrade if HH would ever get the Apprentice S to fly correctly. I know I've whined about this for a long time, but nobody seems to want to fix what's a very simple thing. In RF8 HHE when they added support for SAFE, they set up the Apprentice S like a Mini Apprentice. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is because the Mini Apprentice has settings for SAFE that are totally different. The Mini Apprentice has an AIL>RUD mix that the Apprentice S doesn't have, and the SAFE THR>ELE mix is also different. What's horribly frustrating is that these things would be VERY easy to change within the configuration for the RF virtual flight controller - I'm not talking about redesigning the model or changing programming. Jason M, if you're reading this, PLEASE GET THIS FIXED!!! This is a big deal to me because I have several real planes that have the Apprentice S receiver installed, and the RealFlight versions can't fly the same way. RF is fine otherwise, but I'm still using Phoenix because the Apprentice S works properly on that one. |

The requirements aren't too high. There was another version of RF that used the latest-and-greatest video card and other stuff you'd find typical for gaming, but it's not RF9.5. It was called "RF X", but that seems to have disappeared from the Web site. it didn't go over very well.

if i linked the laptop, do you think you could tell if it would work? the issue i read about is direct x 9 being required, and 12 not working, which comes with windows 10 now. and not being able to load 9 onto windows 10 i asked horizon, but they just resent their required specs. i don't evenknow what 'administrator access required' means ![]() btw, i'm going to purchase from steam.com, i can't see paying for a dvd player on a laptop. they are expensive, and few and far between. |

No, it shows up in VR if you are already in VR. If you just project it to a desktop window it will look flat-screen 2D.

What do I have to do to get it into VR? The RF manual suggests it automatically senses headset is plugged in and changes itself to VR mode. I’m not seeing this happen. |

I always find it best to startup the Oculus Desktop app first and then start RF9 from my PC desktop shortcut. Your headset need to be on your head during rf9 startup in order to sense VR btw. Try a a few things yourself and if you cannot get it to go into VR I suggest you contact RealFlight support and ask them for help. Good luck mate.

Is there a link to a list of all of the models included in the RealFlight RF9.5 or 9.0? Could someone post the list?
I found it https://www.realflight.com/products/...einfo=aircraft |
