(Jan 2023)

Newly Supported Controllers

From this version, AeroSIM-RC supports any joystick device:

• Newly supported: Transmitters with USB in Joystick Mode.
  Some RC Transmitters have a USB port that can be set in Joystick Mode (RadioMaster, BETAFPV, Taranis, etc.)
  In this case, the AeroSIM RC USB interface is used only as a license dongle.
  
  

  

  

  

• Newly supported: USB Simulator Controllers
  Some RC manufacturers like Dynam or FlySky sell inexpensive USB RC Flight Simulator Controllers, for simulator use only, which look like a conventional RC Transmitter.
  
  

  

• Newly supported: InterLink DX Simulator Controller
  Spektrum InterLink DX Simulator Controller can now be used with AeroSIM-RC
  
  

  

• Newly supported: Any Joystick
  Actually, any joystick can now be used with AeroSIM RC, for example PS4 and XBox controllers.
  However, we strongly recommend to use a proper RC controller since most joysticks do not have the quality required for good training.
  
  

  

Multiple Controllers

• The optional 12Ch license now allows to use different controllers at the same time, for example for camera operator and pilot each using its own controller.

Other improvements

• The Controller Configuration and Calibration has been fully reworked.
• The controller FS-i6S is now calibrated and configured by default.
• Improved application interface and graphics:
  • Mouse middle button restores previous settings.
