e-sky transmitter problem

[snakeyme 0]

hi all, i have a serious problem with my transmitter that ive just bought.

Its a 6 channel E-sky ET transmitter znd all channels activate every servo and not a servo for each channel as if the transmitter is transmitting the same constant signal for every stick.

 

Anyone know what the problem could be.

nevermind, ive found the problem, its a heli transmitter and has channel mixing switches below the battery compartment and ive figured out how to use them lol

I've seen this happen to a lot of people

 

You can't even use these type of TX with RC simulator

luckily, this 1 has a trainer port on the back and ive done some digging online and you can setup the simulator for the tx, you just have to be careful with how u do it, ive also been told that there is a program that i can download that attatches to the simulator that automatically configures the setting to recieve the tx

 

Once ive managed to figure it out and get proper internet, ill post how you do it if you all wish

I think the majority of people use Futaba or Spektrum

very true there arun but as i bought the controller for £20 with a plane that cost £30 in a package deal, i thought why not especailly as the trainer interface is there and more importantly, the throttle and rudder is on the left rather than the right as my old 1 is.

Well, I guess that depends on the Simulator.

 

For some time I used a dedicated CCPM mix only Heli Tx with Phoenix, actually a cheap one that came with a JP Twister CP, not even switchable out as per the ESky, as that Simulator has built in de-mixing software to cope. Others might too, I don't know, not come across it.

NOW who's trying to be controversial.....................

 

Which simulator are we talking about here? FMS? Clearview? etc.

A flippant comment in the breeze

ill be using realflight (i think thats what its called or atleast real something lol) but phoenix has the settings on its support section of its website and i was gunna buy a 2.4ghz tx but it didnt come with a rx and i dont have a clue how to setup a tx and rx together so bought this 1 instead.

 

As for the mixing switches, took me 4 hours to figure them out and to answer a previous question, no, not all esky tx has the switches but either way it was a major pain in the arse
