HOW TO: Setup OpenTX Radiomaster TX16s for AccuRC RC Simulator

[@BuddyRC]

Today's update to AccuRC has the Radiomaster preset!

[@allysoncheynes1216]

Great video, absolutely. Thank you so much for posting it. Two suggestions... 1. Slow down when you are changing settings, etc. and 2. a PDF checklist for settings would be wonderful. But, all good as is. You really made my day! Blessings to you.

[@BuddyRC]

Thank you and your welcome

Holy Smoke this was a god send video. I've had AccuRC for a while using a USB controller, and then got me a Radiomaster TX16S. I've been getting by with each separately, but this just brought it all together. Now the settings in AccuRC AND Radiomaster all make sense, combined and on their own. It was one of those "A Hah!" moments!! Thanks a Bunch!! And BTW I got my Radiomaster from Buddy RC and I tell everyone that this is the place to get theirs.

[@BuddyRC]

You rock man! Word of mouth is a huge help to all businesses. And glad to hear this video helped!

[@devpiggy]

Great video, thanks for making me understand the consept better. I am a total beginner so i need the simulator to learn tyo fly helicopter. I tried many years ago, bought 6 different helicopters. Tried to set up different radios, tried to understand this myselves. My trex-450 i fly about 20sec, calm up 3-4 meters and full forward and my heli was so sick fast i go round and landed with the rotor down. Next time my trex-250 was standing on my living room table and i should just hover a little, but the heli went straight into the roof. I never flied anymore after that. Then i bought the Accurc, tried different dongle, but could not get the radio to work, i gave up. But now i bought a new radiomaster tx16s because i need no dongle. I set it up like you do here, and everything work well except i see in the simulator that the numbers(%) in your flybarless 3D-Mode is not same as mine. Maybe i should change it to what you have, or what? Cyclic Agility: 336 / 309 [deg/s] (yours / mine) Integral Discharge Speed: 20 / 65 [%] (yours / mine) Cyclic Passthrough: 15 / 70 [%] (yours / mine) Aileron Gain: 27 / 80 [%] (yours / mine) Elevator Gain: 27 / 80 [%] (yours / mine) Cyclic Deadband: 1 / 15 [%] (yours / mine)

TJ good to see you bro!!!

[@BuddyRC]

Thanks Rafal!

[@ParagPandit]

Will it work with RadioMaster tx16s mkii max EdgeTx?

[@joeynexus4525]

Great stuff! At around 3:08, using the usb charging plug mainly to save on battery. How do you do that? It stills run on the transmitters battery so I don’t see how I can save battery power that way? 🤔 Please let me know if that’s the case 😀

[@BuddyRC]

Just by turning off the transmitter protocols it won't be draining battery remotely close to normal. Honestly I've never tried plugging in the charging USB while using it for a Sim as its never been an issue. But definitely might try it lol

[@epoweredrc]

great video TJ.. now if i can ever get my sim to open on my PC>.. i think i removed it from the main pc cause i have RF9 on it, but it shows on my back up PC but its just not opening. will mess with it more.

[@dimitrybattesti7930]

Bonjour est ce que on peut installer la radio link accurc

[@Epop84]

Can I use the transmitter without batteries and just having it plugged in the computer?

[@BuddyRC]

Yes

[@Epop84]

@@BuddyRC Can you help me out with that? I cant seem to figure it out

[@sadsnowinter94]

hi TJ, can you show me how to connect omp T6 transmitter to PC ?

[@youronlycow]

do i need a specific simulator cable or will an ordinary usb-c cable work?

[@BuddyRC]

Just a USB C data cable will work

[@fredaw61]

I love using AccuRC almost every day. If I crash I crash and doesn’t cost anything, but pride. Lol I did notice in the video you had to switch your elevator in the set up. Did that get changed in the program because I push forward and the Helicopter tilts forward. I did not have to reverse the settings.

[@bobbylana]

Excellent, I`m using a FrSky Tandem X20 on Ethos as the joystick controller and AccuRC auto-recognized my radio under Custom setting! Seems to me better than RealFlight.

[@geyssonharryvelandiacesped284]

I’m trying to do the same. Frsky X20s. My pc don’t recognize more than the 4 basic channels. No bottoms no switch, no dual rates… 😢

[@Epop84]

Is it possible to set the gyroscope?

[@BuddyRC]

Not sure what you are asking

[@jean-francoisbernard6921]

i have a radiomaster Zorro does it will work with AccuRC RC Simulator ?

[@BuddyRC]

Thanks for watching! Yes it works perfectly with AccuRC

[@wardie9846]

quick question whjat is a good cheap transmitter?

[@RC_Ludz_N_Co]

Great video, thank you for your work, really helpful. AccuRC seems great for Heli, how about for plane, what's the feeling? Thanks in advance.

[@MrMoises79]

please i need help to setup my radio master tk16s everthing is backswards if you can help I really Appreciate I am new to the hobby

[@BuddyRC]

Please find our videos on channel mapping

[@nsvaluto48328]

I assume setup is the same for realflight for this radio?

[@elpapigrande4035]

Hello. I have the TX16S and I’m going to be using it with an M1. Do I follow this video on setting up my TX16S?

[@barrycrispin5829]

Barry C. At first I had it all working but now I can't calibrate for airplanes properly. Throttle is stuck all the way up. Can't center them either. Is this switch related? How can you be sure your settings are saved? I very much appreciate your video!

[@xervexczymycur6226]

Hi TJ. Can you show us the cable you use to link the TX16S to the laptop?

[@BuddyRC]

It's just the usb-c cable they include with the radio. Any will work. There's also wireless options

[@xervexczymycur6226]

@@BuddyRC Thanks for the reply, TJ. Yes, I am looking at the wireless options as well but I am not sure if a receiver is needed if I am using the Radiomaster TX16S. If so, what type of receiver do I use?

[@tombkn_]

@@BuddyRC ooo I thought the tx16s had a sim port ? Good to hear it can use the usb-c cable it comes with :) I’m about to order one

[@mohammadiqtidarghias7083]

Thanks that was great help

[@BuddyRC]

Glad it helped

[@lancethompson6574]

I've been using accurate with my spektrum dx6 and satellite dongle. I want to get away from spektrum all together but windows will not recognize my tx16s as a controller I messed with it for 3 hours tonight with no success

[@BuddyRC]

[@davidjacobs8558]

If you have newer version TX16S with built in ExpressLRS module, you can use ExpressLRS Bluetooth joystick function to make it work as wireless Gamecontroller for Windows 11. if you have older version TX16S, then you can buy external ExpressLRS module to do the same. Most simlutors will function with bluetooth gamecontroller.

[@epoweredrc]

okay so my Accurc had to do updates, been a while anyhow everything works except throttle hold why wouldn't that work on my switch? everything else seems to be, i did everything you did in the video.

[@BuddyRC]

when you switch the throttle hold switch in the 'functions' menu in the sim do you see it move?

[@epoweredrc]

@@BuddyRC No, but i don't need DR so switched those in the TX now i have TH working.

[@havoc010101]

Great video. AccuRC looks like a great simulator for model helicopters. How does the simulator fare when flying drones? What are the physics likes, does the sim handle like a real quad? Could a novice pilot learn to fly a drone using this sim? Thanks, keep the content coming!

[@BuddyRC]

AccuRC for helicopters all day long. For drones really want to use any of the solid Sims. I use liftoff mainly but there's others that are good as well. DRL, Velocidrone.

[@Epop84]

Do you know how I can set the gyroscope on a heli in accu rc 2?

[@alexclark4792]

Bought an RTF drone but might not see that for a few weeks or more, thinking about picking one of these up to use for sims for a while before flying, with it also being a step up from the radio that comes with my drone, so eventually i'd likely be looking at one for gear progression. Do you need to get a battery with it or can you run power through usb charging and fly sims?

[@BuddyRC]

The usb isn't enough power, you need the battery in the radio.

[@erikarmgardt1094]

Hey, you gave great content , thanks, but i got some trouble with my initial setup... Radiomaster TX16S/AccuRC 2.0! There is not a really connection, because in Device i see my RM TX 16 S Joystick, thats fine, but the red LED beside "Transmitter" should light green, but it dos`nt, also there are no stick-commands:( In your video its all fine and easy, but in my case it won`t Yesterday i contact the AccuRc support, there is absolut no feedback, also today ... already no answer... perhaps you have any idea, whats the problem ??? I´m very disaponted ... greetings from germany Erik

[@BuddyRC]

Thanks for watching! How are you connecting the TX16S?

[@erikarmgardt1094]

Hey TJ 😊, this time i try if accurc works with some other modelconfiguration from my radiomaster ! Testing it with my preset modelconf. for my TBS Velocidrone simulator , and surprise… this works very well with accurc! Only add 4 switches in this modelsetting flightmode/dualrates/throttlecut/rescue, and it’s done ! Flying in 3d mode is not easy, but it’s a good learnig to use rescueswitch befor crashing the heli 😅 best wishes Erik

[@M00nsave445]

Thanks for the video! anyone knows what Dual Rates does?

[@Imersiva]

Late answer, but still. With dual rate you can configure two sets of sensibility. For example, you could want one for calm flying with only 50% of stick range, and one for aggressive flying with 100%. Then you can toggle between the two as you like and while flying, using a switch.

[@AndrzejRoszkowski]

By the way - can you compare ARC to CGM neXt or RealFlight and "live" ??

[@AndrzejRoszkowski]

Heli-X ?

[@robertwioch3691]

Hello, Could you help me setup my my new Radiomaster TX16s for my Realflight 7.5 Simulator I know you are useing a Difference radio setup. for a RC Simulator. But I have the Realflight 7.5 Radio. on the Radio it self it says Interlink Elite Controller by Futaba thanks I will Really Appreciate it. Thanks.

[@petercane6376]

Hey man thanks a bunch for a great how to video. I had my tx16s all up and working just by plugging it in but now I can see the proper set up. Question please? John Salt advocates starting to learn in 3D but no negative CP dialled in in order to get used to CP at mid stick zero pitch and turning off the self levelling. On which setting in Accurc can we do that please? Peter Cane And thanks again!,,

[@BuddyRC]

Glad it helped

[@AndrzejRoszkowski]

Before all - I had to change USB driver in Win10 to use TX16S as controller...

[@BuddyRC]

Yeah I should do a short video on that as well. I changed it so long ago I forgot 🤦‍♂️

[@HDTube101]

This is no longer an issue with 2.3.11. They have applied for, and gained access to, a unique ‘usb id’, so starting with 2.3.11, OpenTX users won’t be affected by this issue anymore.

[@AndrzejRoszkowski]

unless stock radio is delivered with this version...

[@paulmaidment2790]

If you are having trouble with your computor not recognizing your tx16s as game controller ,as it did or me have a look here for help www.multirotorguide.com/guide/opentx-radio-not-working-in-simulator-issue-fix/ worked for me.

[@BuddyRC]

Great point. I completely forgot about needing to so this.
