Do you have an R/C Transmitter?
Do you have a sound-card
on your PC?
Then you don't need a joystick or an expensive USB adaptor.
What is
SmartPropoPlus?
A
software package that enables you to use your R/C transmitter as a
joystick.
Who
should use SmartPropoPlus?
Anyone
who wishes to use his R/C transmitter as a joystick.
Anyone who
wants to control his simulator with his R/C transmitter.
Will
SmartPropoPlus
work with my
simulator?
Probably. SmartPropoPlus was
tested with FMS, ClearView and other simulators. Since it emulates a
standard joystick, it
will work with any simulator that supports joystick.
Will
SmartPropoPlus
work with my R/C
Transmitter?
Probably, if it has a
trainer socket.
SmartPropoPlus was tested with JR, Futaba, Sanwa, Airtronics and
other transmitters.
It supports PPM (both negative and positive
shift) and several PCM standards.
Will
SmartPropoPlus
work with my PC?
Probably.
SmartPropoPlus only
needs a Microphone or Line-In audio input.
Most PC's has at least
one of these inputs.
There are rare cases of low-quality
sound-cards that won't work. Sorry.
What
else do I need?
A cable of
course.
Create or buy one that will connect the trainer socket in
the transmitter to the PC sound-card.
How
much then?
Nothing. SmartPropoPlus is
free and open source. Just get yourself a cable.

The support of E-Sky CCPM Transmitters was added with the help of Juan José Rubio Marín who initiated the project and Speed Control, who was kind enough to lend me an E-Sky R/C Transmitter for a long period of time – totally free of charge.
The support of Walkera PCM Transmitters was added with the help of Hans-Friedrich Fuge who initiated the project, Eilert Johansson who much improved the algorithm and Anton Heiss of RC-Toy you sent me a transmitter all the way from Germany, on his own expense.
The problem with Windows Vista was detected and fixed by Mr. Antony Briggs.
