Can't get Phoenix to recognise my DX7 on calibration - keeps saying turn on TX when it is already (obviously) turned on!! Didn't expect to run into such a basic problem at this stage...

Don't turn it on, leave it off and just plug in -
Yup, it powers up when you plug the dongle in.

Yep, but still no joy - can only assume its my little vaio I'm running it on (13.3 inch). Sim works and brings up the sim screen, but keeps saying plug in your TX and calibrate.. Also, when plugged in it says on the TX 'Warning F-Mode' and bleeps continuouslyOriginally posted by robgt View PostComment

Indeed, the good ole USB saves on the internal batts while flying on the sim.

You have your idleup switch on (if it's warning F-mode)

Hi WayneOriginally posted by cambs flyer View PostIndeed, the good ole USB saves on the internal batts while flying on the sim.
I may be wrong but I think it still uses the internal batteries - try taking them out and you'll find it won't work (at least with the DX6i)
All the best

I mainly use the DX6 but the powers always off when I play.
I guess they still need to be battery'd up regardless.

Yeah, my DX7 battery gets a slow draining whenused on the sim. Can't offer any constructive help on the DX7 / Vaio thing though. Sorry.Raptor 90 SE FBL e-conversion, Raptor E720, Raptor E820, Synergy E7, Goblin 700 & TREX 700NComment

I'm using the default settings on the Dx7 (everything set 100%) for the Phoenix sim - is this ok for a novice flyer?? I also have set the dual rate (2nd switch settings) at 50% (except throttle), but the real problem I seem to have is with the pitch being mixed with the throttle. Can negative/0% pitch be set on the DX7 or is this always concurrent?? Yeah I know its something a novice should be getting to grips with, but tbh I'm finding flying the Hughes 500 turbine easier than the Spark 50 trainer (former seems to be very stable!) (though no complaints there!!)
