You have to have an audio jack that supports input.
I don't know how to link directly to it, but it's the discussion by Syntax_BE called "Tuto]Using a Spektrum transmitter without USB dongle" Their website [has very detailed instructions for using this method, so I will not recreate the wheel here.Īnother user has already created a fantastic description of the process on the Discussions forum HERE The most popular method has commonly and historically been the use of SmartPropo software. If you want to bypass the use of a USB cable, it is also possible to connect using a Stereo/Mono audio cable. There are a lot of options for USB sim cables - I won't include links to them all, but a common cable that people are using is available from HobbyKing currently linked at:ĬABLE [This is a great cable if you don't have one, or if you have multiple types of Transmitters that have differing Trainer ports (and I personally own this cable, and 3-4 others and it functions as well or better than the more expensive alternatives). Check to see what type you have and you'll be prepared to get started. This is not an all-inclusive list, as even different models within brands have different connectors. Each type of transmitter, unfortunately, has a different output port - Futaba mostly uses a 5 or 6 pin DIN cable, Hitec uses 6 pin DIN, Walkera and E-Sky use their own miniature DIN output version that is similar or the same as an S-Video port, and Spektrum/JR/others use a 3.5mm audio jack for output. Your transmitter can produce a data signal through its Trainer port and send this signal to the computer via the USB connection. The most simple connection type will be to connect your device using an aftermarket USB cable. The latter option will require more setup time, but is a great alternative if you do not have a USB device.
Using a USB cable is most ideal, as it offers the highest resolution for input signal, is normally plug-and-play as your computer will update drivers accordingly once it is plugged in, and normally no third-party software is needed. There are essentially two options for connecing an input device to your computer - either USB or through the audio input/output (such as a built-in Mic/Stereo input). The good news is that while there are many different types of controlling devices, there are few types of data transmission that are needed to get control of the game. Now when the radio, running OpenTX, will be plugged to the PC, you should see it as USB Input Device in the Device Manager:Īlso “ FrSky Taranis Joystick” device should be seen in the Game Controllers list in the “ Set up USB Game Controllers” window.There are vast options for the many types of input devices you may have at home - so many different transmitting devices, in fact, that it would be impossible to include built-in support for them all.
Thats it! You have fixed the USB driver issue. Then select the “ USB Input Device” instead of the “ BETTER_USB_HS“.ĭriver information should change into this: Then “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer”. Select “Browse my computer for driver software”. In the “ Driver” tab click “ Update driver” button. Right click on the “ BETTER_USB_HS“device, that is in the libusb-win32 devices group select the “ Properties“. Open Device manager (Start – > Search “Device Manager”) To get your remote controller working again, you should do the following steps:
How to fix the Windows 10 driver to make OpenTX radios work in the simulators
One of the recent Windows 10 updates (the KB4515384 one to be precise) affected the drivers of USB devices and particularly Radios, running OpenTX, stopped woking with flight simulators.
