    A better quality "dummy" TX for sim use?

    Well, looking to get plenty of sim time in over the winter months but was wondering if anyone can recommend a good quality dummy TX to use on the sim instead of using my actual TX?

    i do like the futaba style TX real flight do but I prefer Phoenix as a simulator... And I'm guessing realflights TX won't work with Phoenix ... Anyone else got a solution?

    Why dont you want to use the TX you fly your helis with? makes more sense to use that than something else. If your gonna practice, may as well practice with the TX your gonna fly with.

      I agree with Tony, just get a futaba adapter for phoenix and use your own, BUT if you dont have your own controller at all get phoenix with the dx5e combo, Phoenix then comes with a spektrum tranny

        In the past I have used my Futaba TX with the adapter for Phoenix, I just don't like how it has to be powered on all the time to just use a Simulator and was wondering if anyone knew of a quality "Dummy" TX that I can smash about, leave lying around the computer, let others have a go on etc etc.. and leave the real TX tucked away in its case.

          If you flying with Futaba and you can stretch buying the RealFlight 6.5, it comes with a futaba controller that feels like a proper futaba controller.... 8FG in my case.
          Also with out trying to start a war, RealFlight is a much better F/S in my opinion!

            Thanks, the futaba controller that comes with RealFlight does look perfect,

            Its been a while since I switched from realflight to phoenix and I'm wondering, if I bought an older version of Realflight, say G5, can I upgrade it to the latest version for free like Phoenix can?

              You can upgrade to 6 but it is not free.

              Once on 6 then the upgrade to 6.5 is free.

                PFFT buy Phoenix once and all the upgrades are free. Why pay more for something and have to keep paying for it again!!

                Phoenix will fulfill many peoples needs

                  Don't suppose you know how much an upgrade costs? Had a look on the website but it says to do the update check through the software (Which of course, I haven't got!)
