How to setup FrSky X20 with RealFlight Simulator.

[@OneLovePsych]

Love the x20 vids keep them coming! Only you and Mr. D really cover it in depth! Also, is the setup the same for a simulator like Liftoff?

[@8HrToGo]

👍Thanks for the great compliment! I release new video every Friday, so stay tune 😃.. I never used Liftoff, but I would believe all setups would be similar.. just need to some tinkerings around with it. Thanks!

[@tedh173]

Exactly video that I'd been looking for! Thank You and keep up the good work.

[@8HrToGo]

Thanks for watching and will try my best to serve my audience 😁

[@airman9820]

Thanks for the video, I have the x20s also and now it works perfect with realflight. The only thing I did different is use the frsky wireless dongle so no need for usb cable.

[@8HrToGo]

Glad you made it work.

[@steveburk2918]

So helpful - thank you! Love your videos - please keep them coming!

[@8HrToGo]

Thanks! Yes, will definitely keep churning out video of what I know that can help our RC community.

[@kennyirish5021]

I found you in time cause my radio is coming and this will be my first step. Never flown so yea thanks again!!! Oh and this should be great on the front room Big screen hahah

[@8HrToGo]

It was great on my 55" screen. If bigger screen even better!

[@hangarkat]

Thank you very much for producing this content. Great stuff!

[@8HrToGo]

I'm glad it is helpful and thanks for tuning in.

[@carlpayne6024]

Very instructive. Thanks

[@edwhite9406]

Not sure how long it would have taken me to figure out on my own that I needed to put AETR on chan 5-8. Many Thanks!

[@8HrToGo]

Glad I can help. Thanks for your support. 👍

[@jkru76]

Great channel really love the instruction. For me even though the flap is setup as proportional it only does flaps zero or flaps one hundred, the center does not work. Anyone else?

[@ESTUDIOMORALES2024]

Thank you very much for the video!!!! Could you show the tabs that are needed to connect the cable from the radio to the PC. Thank you

[@8HrToGo]

Hi, are you asking about the cable connection? At the video about 10:10 minute mark, I connected the cable from X20 to PC with a USB cable that came with your X20. The cable one end is a USB-A that connect to PC, with the other end of the cable a USB-C that connect to X20.

[@ESTUDIOMORALES2024]

Genioooooooo!!!!!! Gracias!!!!!!!!!!

[@MarvinShealy]

Outstanding video. I am new to the hobby and just ordered the x20. I have a couple of questions about the simulator setup. Which version of the RealFlight simulator are you using? Do you have to use the FrSky simulator doogle? Thanks in advance for your help. Also are there other flight simulators that might be more compatible with the x20?

[@8HrToGo]

You won't go wrong with the X20. I used Realflight 9.5.

[@ltfadl1]

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing.

[@8HrToGo]

Thanks for watching!

[@sanchezguerra1]

Thanks fo the info.......this configuration works with other simulator? or only with FSim.......

[@theotedorsthorst2090]

So helpful - thank you!

[@Farahkhan-m9i]

What is range ? Which one is best Skyroid m12l vs frsky tandem x20 pro 😢😢😢😢

[@TheMarcougo]

Congratulations!

[@8HrToGo]

Hope you find it helpful. Thanks.

[@sambridges992]

Do you know of flight simulator program that will work w/Mac, this one on your video will not. Thank you great video

[@8HrToGo]

Yes, RealFlight is for Windows only. A friend of mine used to fly "aerofly RC" on his Mac, but I remembered telling me later he never liked it. Thanks.

[@randallpatrickc]

Aerofly RC 8 is brilliant

[@Rantanplan-0815]

Hi👋 You dont have to make this anymore,its allready fixed with an update👍,realflight use the first 8 channels(maybe more,i not try it ),works without issues😊. Das braucht man mittlerweile nicht mehr machen,es wurde gefixt mit einem update. Realflight erkennt ganz normal die ersten 8 kanäle(eventuell auch mehr,noch nicht getestet)😊 Liebe grüße

[@carmineiacono946]

Hi, Your RealFlight Simulator vid is very well done. I own a Frsky X18, do you think your instruction will work with it?

[@8HrToGo]

I don't have X18. But both X20 and X18 are based on ETHOS OS, so I believe it should work the same for X18. It's the same step where you would need to create a new flight binary file and follow the steps in the video. Hope it works out well for you. Thanks.

[@carmineiacono946]

@@8HrToGo I checked with Horizon and their solution was to buy RF and try it. Of course if it didn't work I would be out $100 (can't return software). Unfortunately there is no RealFlight demo version. So your vid was a God send. Thanks again for your time and effort😃

[@8HrToGo]

@@carmineiacono946 My advice is maybe you can check and post on Facebook RC community or Facebook FrSky RC community.. and check if anyone has setup of FrSky X18 working with RealFlight.. that could help you determine whether to buy RF or not..

[@michaelpeck8677]

Way cool thank you.

[@8HrToGo]

Glad you like it.. Thanks for watching!

[@jhue73]

it would be nice to be able to bluetooth to the pc and use as a game controller

[@HowardBass-ic7dq]

Hello Sir, hope you're doing well. wondering if you can me on this on my x20s on one of the demo planes notice has throttle widget at the top right. when throttle is active the the little squarebox has little red dot in the box appears. I can't figure how to have this on my other planes.

[@8HrToGo]

I believe that square box with red dot indicates that you had enable file write logging in your special function. Check it in your special function icon, write log, to see if you enable it. Disable it to have red dot disappear.

[@HowardBass-ic7dq]

Good afternoon Sir! Thank you so much for your help on this. You have a great night and super weekend.@@8HrToGo

[@GunsNGloryShow]

I heard you have to be online to use it. Is that true? I live off grid, no internet.

[@joshfreund6008]

Real flight 6 isnt recognizing controller, its doesnt show up on controller select but it is dedinately recognized by the PC and set to Prefered

[@8HrToGo]

Mine was RealFlight 9. I don't have nor try the version 6. Some RC club members mentioned to me once that older RealFlight won't work.. If you do get it to work, be sure to share with all our RC community. Thanks.

[@randallpatrickc]

Can you connect with the FrSky usb dongle?

[@8HrToGo]

The extra FrSky USB dongle would run you another $30 or so and as spoken with some of my flying buddies, I believe you can as u might need to do some firmware update on the dongle (and maybe some soldering also). You would still need to map the controller and it should work... some extra work though..

[@thienducdao5570]

Is this set up only work for planes? I fly helicopter and could not figure how to set it work properly.

[@8HrToGo]

Real Flight simulator software is too complicated to set up with the FrSky radio (bc it's mainly written for Spectrum radio), and I don't fly RC helicopters. But from talking to one of my RC buddy who do fly RC helicopter, and he mentioned that you best go with the Accu RC simulator for helicopter simulator flight. Hope it helps.

[@ESTUDIOMORALES2024]

Good afternoon, can you buy the simulator and install it on a PC or does it only work through Steam? . Thank you

[@8HrToGo]

Unfortunately few years back RealFlight was integrated with Steam, so it will now only work with a steam client installed.

[@hillbillyflyin613]

This is not working at all with RealFlight Evolution. I followed your instructions step by step. They worked all the way up to testing as a joystick. However Realflight Evolution does not recognize the X20s at all. Any Ideas?

[@8HrToGo]

So I don't own a RealFlight Evolution to try and find the problem that you encountered. The critical 1st thing - does your computer Window, under "Devices and Printers" see the FrSky radio as being a Joystick/Game controller? (as in step 3 of video) If Windows doesn't see it, Realflight or RealFlight Evolution will never know it is connected. If it does, then it is a matter of setting up the TX correctly, and then configuring a controller in simulator to correctly use the channels coming from it through Windows. My suggestion is try another computer with Window 10, and make sure your FrSky transmitter is update to latest SW. If you got past this step 3 as I mentioned above, and RF Evolution doesn't recognize the X20s, then RF Evolution must have blocked it.

[@hillbillyflyin613]

@@8HrToGo That appears to be what has happened. The transmitter is recognized and working 100% as a joystick as per your video. However it does nothing in real flight. Probably a horizon hobby thing. Part of the reason I seldom buy their products. They don't like any competition and they don't play well with others. Their loss! Realflight returned to steam.

[@joshfreund6008]

Real.flight(6) isnt recognizing the controller..in select controller its.just.not.there

[@raymondmbaldes4862]

Watch your Video on setting up the Realflight Simulator with the Frsky X20S Transmitter. I can't seem to get the Faps and the gear working on the Simulator.Can you tell me what I am doing wrong. Do you any instruction that you can E-Mail to me that I can see how it's done. Thank You

[@8HrToGo]

During the Step of Verify Joystick Driver, make sure that your Flap and gear switch is working properly seeing the axis movement and rotation movement on the PC. If you don't see it then it will not work as PC driver did not map it correctly. Sorry, I don't have instruction written down, instead I made this video to share it to community. People were able to set it up successfully. Please double check again.

So helpful - thank you!

Awesome. Thanks for tuning in.
