Viewing post in DX6i No Throttle or Yaw control

No other joysticks/controllers installed
Yes I'm using a USB dongle (USB Flight Simulator Cable for DX5e Dx6i DX7 JR Futaba RC RealFlight Spektrum Esky FMS [version:x6] by DELIAWINTERFEL)
No vJoy or Smartpropoplus installed.
I have tried all model types. yes you are correct Heli it the closes that it gets to getting it to work but still have Yaw issues (does not respond at all). That being said when you have it set to Heli there is not option for Yaw it's been replaced with rudder and I cannot change it to yaw. I can only change it to Rudder, Throttle, & Gear. I'm think we need to use Multi mode as it does show the option for Yaw but in Multi mode nothing works. It would be nice if I could customize but I don't think Spektrum allows you to do that.
No switch on this version of the USB dongle. Looks like it was removed.
As mentioned above no luck with changing it to another channel.

I'm thinking it just won't work. If anyone else has gotten it to work please share your fix. Would love to play this sim!

Just found this:

https://github.com/albhm/macPPM

Which is the equivalent of Smartpropoplus for OS X according to the developer.

(Smartpropolus is a method for connecting your transmitter directly to your Windows computer using a 3.5mm mono audio cable)

Haven't tried it myself though, I don't own a Mac. Seems like it might require some hacking skills. It would be interesting to hear if anybody has tried it.

I have Windows, and I am having the same problem, everything but my yaw is working. Have you found a fix?

Generally one of the fixes mentioned earlier in this thread works for most people.

That is:

- Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/controllers connected, that might cause a conflict.

- If connecting via USB, make sure you uninstall vJoy and Smartpropoplus if you have them. Their driver messes with things when connecting via USB.

- Make sure you have "Heli" selected as model type on your radio. ("Plane" generally doesn't work very well).

- If you are using a USB dongle - check if there's a switch on the dongle where you can select different modes.

- Perhaps you can remap the output channels (in the menu of the transmitter) so that it sends to another channel.

Have you tried those? (the first one is often enough)
