Wireless Simming for Futaba, Spektrum on Phoenix Sim, Reflex, Realflight, Aerofly, FMS and other RC Flight Simulators. Works with Spektrum and Futaba

With our new product Simstick PRO, you can connect to almost ANY radion system. Please consult the compatibilty chart on the Home page.

We recommend Phoenix Flight Sim as it integrates with Simstick very well, is a very competative price and is regarded worldwide as one of the best RC Flight Simulators available especially for helicopters.

Please view the compatibility list for information.

The Instructions section of this site contains basic instructions and help videos for detailed information on setting up your SIMSTICK.

The SIMSTICK PRO supports up to 7 channels. Some receivers support only 5. This is out of our control.

The bind process is specific to your manufacturer and also to the individual receivers, please follow the manufacturers instructions. If you have a spektrum receiver that plugs directly on the board please watch this video. With Simstick PRO you can in some case bind "On-Board" please consult the instructions.

If you have a spare receiver that you think still works but you don't trust it for your model, then try it on the SIMSTICK. We used an old battered ar6100e which had lost both aerials and it works with no problems!

Through the USB port, it does not require a "powered" USB hub.

First of all we do not condone the practice of chinese manufacturers doing straight fakes of Spektrum receivers. We have looked at most of the Spektrum DSM2 receivers available on the market including numerous clones that have been sent to us by customers. In reality it's a bit hit and miss but most of the time these will operate OK with Spektrum Simstick. However we have found a few that don't work at all. Also we have found many that don't hold their bind even if they look like they are working. We supply a compatible DSM2 receiver for the Spektrum DSM2 Simstick should you have difficulty a finding a suitable receiver yourself ... click here

Update: Simstick PRO should work with almost any receiver now.

Because the existing simulator dongle lead has to be retained and connected to the SIMSTICK, it makes sense to use and extension lead to reduce the stress on the USB port both on the SIMSTICK and the PC. Cheap USB extension leads are available on the internet.

Yes! It functions just like any other USB connected device, so it will be ready for you use as and when you run you simulator program and switch on your transmitter.

Yes. The lead provides the PPM signal (transmitter) to USB (computer) conversion required. Simstick simply ensures that the signal received is acceptable.

No we do not supply leads. You must contact your Sim manufacturer and ask them where to obtain one. Simstick is not a USB device does not do what the lead is required to do, i.e. the PPM to USB conversion.

No, it will only connect one way.

Actually YES you can use your own TX and RX with Simstick to make a wireless connection. However you need an additional Futaba square pin to 3.5mm jack lead that is supplied by RealFlight. You also need to bear in mind that you still need the original controller as it does all the software copy protection for RealFlight. If you are planning to use Simstick with RealFlight please see the Realflight page...

Yes, however, you will need to re-calibrate and go through the set up process, but you will only need to do this once. This means that if you want to run the simulator on your desktop PC and on your Laptop PC you can do so by simply moving the SIMSTICK to the other device.

As long as your simulator runs on the MAC, then the SIMSTICK should function fine

It doesn't matter if you plug the SIMSTICK in first and then run the program of visa versa.

Provided that you have followed the instructions, then the SIMSTICK is covered by a 1 year Warranty from the original date of purchase.

Yes. Every SIMSTICK is fully electronically tested before it is sent out. In addition we random SIMSTICKS by running them on a functioning simulator.

Yes we are constantly looking to add new makes of Simulators, receivers and transmitters. If you have tested with any equipment we have not listed please let us know.

UPDATE: Simstick PRO represents the culmination of 2 years testing and updates meaning it is the most complete and compatible wireless option.
