RealFlight G5 Manual (21MB) - Great Planes Software Support

Please note: While this manual will continue to reference the InterLink Elite controller,
you will still use your InterLink Plus controller with RealFlight G5.5 if you upgraded
from G3 or G3.5. The InterLink Plus controller will function much in the same way
with the following exceptions:
• The InterLink Plus controller cannot access the QuickSelect menus directly from
the controller. You must use the computer mouse to do so.
• The InterLink Plus does not include digital trims. The analog trims will still
function with RealFlight G5.5.
Features of the InterLink Elite Controller-
• USB compatibility and convenience. The InterLink Elite offers the “plug and
play” convenience, “hot pluggable” installation and removal, as well as the highspeed
digital performance made possible by Universal Serial Bus (USB)
technology.
• High quality “mockup” transmitter. Use the InterLink Elite controller by itself as a
pseudo R/C transmitter, with the controls you expect in a standard 8-channel
radio. The mockup transmitter features two 2-position switches, one 3-position
switch, a rotary knob, knurled control sticks with adjustable length and a pushbutton
reset.
• Built-in transmitter interface. If you so choose, you can use your own FM or FMcompatible
R/C transmitter to control RealFlight, using the InterLink Elite
controller’s built-in interface. You can even switch back and forth between the
pseudo controller and your own transmitter! Interface adapter cords are included
for most JR, Spektrum and Futaba transmitters.
• Simultaneous interface and controller. The InterLink Elite makes it possible for
two modelers to fly on the same PC; each using his/her own controller to pilot the
aircraft.
• QuickSelect menu controls. With the InterLink Elite, you’re able to make a variety
of common adjustments to the simulator (such as selecting a different aircraft or
airport) without having to touch the keyboard and mouse.
• Easy setup and use. Unlike other computer joysticks, in most cases, you do not
even have to calibrate the InterLink Elite controller. Simply plug it in and go!
• Simulate sophisticated computer radios. The InterLink Elite, used in conjunction
with the RealFlight software, allows you to simulate the programmability (mixing,
exponential, etc.) of sophisticated computer radios.
