I'm running Phoenix 4 with a Turnigy 9x flashed with OpenTX firmware. I can get it to work okay if I leave most of the control in the sim, but when I start trying to move the control into my TX, things start getting weird. The only good tutorials I've seen are using Spektrum or JR radios, and there's just too many differences for it to translate well. Yes, I know I should have bought a Spektrum TX, but if I could have afforded a Spektrum I wouldn't have bought the Turnigy.
Setting the radio aside, my problem is twofold. First, I just don't understand the what/where/when/why of programming the radio. I can find my way around the various menus okay, but I don't understand how to incorporate a set of pitch curves into the mixer, with all that that entails. Second, although there's a couple of pretty good heli templates built into the firmware I'm running, they don't work with Phoenix, and I don't know enough to trouble shoot it. Part of the problem is terminology, my TX uses Cyclic 1, 2, & 3 for the swash mix, for example, but it doesn't carry over to Phoenix, the sim is using different terms, and I don't know enough to sort it out.
Anyway, my goal is to use the sim as a virtual helicopter, set up to be as close to real world as possible, controlled by my radio as much as possible. Any help in achieving that goal will be much appreciated. Later.
