MAPPING CHANNELS TO SERVOS
If any channels are mapped to the wrong functions on the aircraft, edit the aircraft
using the following procedure. Click the Aircraft menu followed by the Select
Aircraft… menu item. Click the Edit Current Aircraft menu item. Access the
Electronics options. Double-click the Electronics name or click on the [+] (plus).
Select the incorrectly mapped channel from the pull-down list that activates. To
change the respective channel of operation, click on the corresponding Value and
select the appropriate option from the pull-down list.
IMPORTANT! Do not change the servo mapping using the Channel Mapping…
menu item. If you do so, the change will also affect ALL stock aircraft. Instead,
simply change the servo mapping using the Electronics options above for a single
aircraft.
SHARING AIRCRAFT THAT USE THE PASS THROUGH INTERFACE
In most cases, when you make a custom aircraft that uses the Pass Through Interface
option, you will not be able to provide that aircraft to your friends or submit it to the
RealFlight Model Swap Page. This is because the RealFlight software does not
receive the necessary input for the radio programming. Consequently, you would
have to provide other RealFlight users with all of your R/C radio’s settings for that
particular aircraft. Moreover, they would have to have the exact same R/C
transmitter in order for them to use the aircraft. These complications effectively
prohibit swapping aircraft under these conditions.
INTERLINK PLUS CONTROLLER HINTS AND TIPS
WHAT IF MY TRANSMITTER HAS FEWER CHANNELS THAN THE MODEL I
SELECT
This issue can arise when you use your own transmitter to control RealFlight G3. In
this situation, we highly recommend that you use the Interlink Plus controller.
WHEN TO USE THE CHANNEL MAPPING, AND WHEN TO USE THE
SOFTWARE RADIO OR SERVO PAGE
This issue arises only if you use your own transmitter to control RealFlight. When
you use the InterLink Plus controller as a mockup transmitter, you should not alter
the Channel Mapping.
Remember that Channel Mapping is used to set the input channels for your
transmitter. This means that you are setting the channels used to monitor physical
movements or positions of your transmitter’s sticks, switches, and knobs. Unless
you change transmitters, you should only need to set this once. Only use the
Channel Mapping… menu item to tell RealFlight which channel your controller is
using for each stick/knob/switch input, not what control function you want that
stick/knob/switch to perform.
The Software Radio (see page 230) controls mixing, exponential, and other channel
processing that a computer radio would normally perform. The Software Radio
determines the control function you want each stick/knob/switch setting to perform.
