zender ombouwen tot fligtsimulator

Weet er iemand een site waar alles uitgelegd staat om een oude zender
om te bouwen, voor op de pc te leren vliegen.
En eventueel waar ik aan de software kan geraken.

Hallo,
Voor FMS heb je de volgende mogelijkheden afhankelijk van je operating system. Sorry voor de vreemde taal.

A) For Win 95-98-Millennium with FMS, 2 easy possibilities (above all possibilities that are also possible for Win 2000 and XP, see section "B").
1) THROUGH THE PARALLEL-port (LPT1)
eventually with a resistor and zenerdiode, see the manual of FMS (http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index.html) or some examples on my website which I personally tested (http://users.belgacom.net/TX2TX) figure 7f-fms and others in chapter 7. Or here : http://www.pibros.de/ (German).

2) THROUGH THE SERIAL-port
See the manual of FMS (http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index.html)

If you think you’re not able to make such a cable, buy eventually one :

http://www.virtualrcflight.com/
http://www.k-webdesign.com/modellflug/rc-interface.htm (German)

B) For Win 2000 and Win XP with FMS, a SIMPLE connection through the parallel-port or serial port is not working, those 2 versions of Windows are handling other protocols on these ports than Win 95-98-Millenium.

Your options then :

1) THROUGH THE SOUNDCARD
With smartpropo : http://www.sekiriki.jp/smartpropo/manual.html
The advantage is that it's simple to make : 1 audio-cable and a resistor or potmeter

2) THROUGH THE SERIAL PORT (Com-port)
a) via an interface with a programmable IC (PIC), which is described in the directory of FMS, see …FMS\Doc\Interface\readme_en.htm on your harddisk.
Or http://myweb.absa.co.za/eric.brouwer/interface.htm
b) or the same electronic interface that you can buy ready to use here :

http://www.rc-sim.de/workshop/rc_game/rc_game.html (German)
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/patrick.bicheron/acceuil.htm (French)

3) THROUGH THE USB-port
http://n.ethz.ch/student/maederb/ (selfmade)

http://www.welwyn.demon.co.uk/fms_lead/fms_lead.htm

http://www.modellpilot.de/ (German)
http://www.k-webdesign.com/modellflug/rc-interface.htm (German)
If you have a 4-axis joystick, you can use an interface-cable gameport-->USB, for sale in every computershop, thus ideal for modern laptops without a COM-port

4) THROUGH THE GAME-port
a) with an interface which transforms the signal of the transmitter in a joystick-signal
http://myweb.absa.co.za/eric.brouwer/interface.htm (selfmade)
http://www.milehighwings.com/joystick_cables.htm
http://www.geocities.com/simblaster/
http://www.ripmax.com/FS_Simulators_Accessories.html
http://www.chez.com/lesilicium/ (French)
http://www.rc-sim.de/workshop/rc_game/rc_game.html (German)
http://www.k-webdesign.com/modellflug/rc-interface.htm (German)

b) buy a 4-axis-controller joystick
http://www.rchobby.co.uk/gamebird_flight_simulator.html
http://www.gamebird.de/de/index.html (German)

c) or make yourself a 4-axis joystick with an old RC-transmitter, removing all electronics, replacing the 4 potmeters by potmeters of 200K (not 100K like mostly mentioned), and wiring like in :
http://soldcentralfl.com/flyingpenguin/rcstick.htm
http://graccus.free.fr/joystick.html (French)
http://iquebec.ifrance.com/st-prime/modif_rc.html (French)

5) Or make a partition on your harddisk where you will install Windows 95-98-Millennium. Then you can connect your radio simply via the parallel-port or Serial-port as described in the manual of FMS and start the older Windows (see section "A").

Hope this helps,
Olivier
