THE INTERLINK PLUS CONTROLLER (INTERLINK<br />

TRANSMITTER MODE)<br />

This exciting feature allows you to plug your own R/C transmitter into the back of<br />

the InterLink Plus controller. You can then use your own transmitter to control the<br />

<strong>RealFlight</strong> aircraft. With Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity, the InterLink<br />

Plus controller offers high resolution, rapid data transfer from your transmitter to the<br />

PC, and immediate response from the simulated aircraft.<br />

When compared to the InterLink Joystick Mode, using your own radio adds a slight<br />

amount of complexity and initial configuration setup. The advantage to this method<br />

is that it will allow you to become familiar with the programming on your actual R/C<br />

transmitter. Additionally, you will develop the ‘feel’ of using your transmitter rather<br />

than the InterLink Plus controller.<br />

TWO WAYS TO USE THE INTERLINK TRANSMITTER MODE<br />

There are two ways to use InterLink Transmitter Mode. They are commonly<br />

referred to as the “Pass Through Interface” and “Joystick Emulation Interface”<br />

(not to be confused with the “InterLink Joystick Mode” in the previous section).<br />

Here is a quick chart that will help you decide which mode to use.<br />
