FIRST FLIGHT – CHANGING AIRCRAFT AND FLYING SITES
Some versions of RealFlight 9 include the Spektrum InterLink DX controller. If you own one of these versions, the controller
allows you to make a variety of changes to the simulation without ever taking your hands off of the controller.
To make changes during flight, press the
Select/Scroll
button located on the front of the Spektrum InterLink DX controller.
Use the Select scroll wheel to select your category of choice. Press the
Select/Scroll
button once again to activate this
choice.
If you want to fly with your own R/C transmitter using the RealFlight interface, or if you want to fly through the Spektrum
InterLink DX controller’s interface option, please refer to the
RealFlight Manual
for setup assistance.
CHANGING MODE 2 TO MODE 1
Some pilots prefer to fly with a Mode 1 Transmitter. If you fly with a Mode 1 Transmitter, please refer to the
RealFlight
Manual
for instructions on how to convert your Spektrum InterLink DX controller to Mode 1.
