Hello I just received my XTR reflex sim. I download the software and everything. then I pick the Model of heli I wanna practice with. The problem is..... Whenever I click the Start on the Sim... the heli gone crazy... my throttle switch is all the way down and the Heli keeps moving by itself and crashing by itself.

I click on my Display Channel and all the CH 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. is acting (moving by itself )crazy... I tried using the airplane and problem is the same...

Everytime I tried the auto calibrating it says cannot calibrate.
CH1 - no signal
CH2 - no signal
CH3 - Not centered
Ch4 - no signal
Ch5- No signal


Im using a 6EX PCM futaba. dont know what the main problem is.... I cant even use my $200 sim... All I know is... everytime I click the start. heli moves by itself.

Sorry Im not good on computers. Hopefully some of you guys can help me out.

Might have to mod the cable that came with the simulator.'

make sure you set your rx to ppm try this first

Her's the link for the mod to the cable I had to do this with my cable in order to get it to work. If problem continues you might need to try this.

I think it's specific for JR radios

To get mine to work when I got my 9303, I ha to pull the 1/8 plug on the cable out of the transmitter a little. It worked great after that. I did have a problem though of the plug either pushing all the way in or coming out to far when I was flying. After I did the mod, I can push it all the way in and everything is good to go.

So, try to pull the plug out a little to see if you getit to work. If it does, you'll have to mod it.

you need to assign the chanels to the correct functions.

It sounds like you are nearly there

Go to Assign channels ... (or just hit F7) and follow the instructions that appear at the bottom. When you are done, you are probably there or very close. Since both the throttle and pitch servos move when you move the pitch stick, it sometimes gets confused and you need to set those channels by clicking on the right one.

If you look closely at pauchelle's pic, you would see that the USB Interface is not responding...Reflex is not seeing it.

I've been plagued with the same problem for the last three weeks..Received a new cable, new interface and software disk from Jeff Green at MRC, and still have the same problem. No amount of channel assignment has helped.

i'm still waiting for Reflex.de to send me their answer to their looking at my computer's DXDIAG text file.

I had the same problem. To correct it, make sure that the USB interface is UNPLUGGED when the machine is booted, and whenever Reflex is not being used. This corrected the problem on my machine!

MikeInMobile,

I don't know if your "fix" was addressed to pauchelle or to me, but, I tried that a while back with no success. Before changing to a new hard drive and Windows XP Pro., the USB interface would de-stabilize Windows XP Home Edition. It doesn't do it anymore, but, while the system recognizes the interface, Reflex still doesn't...All I get are the usual error messages: "Interface is not responding", "Turn on your Tx", "Turn off your Tx", "You have a hardware installation problem".

Perhaps there's something unique about the architecture of the motherboard on my computer...It handles AFPD without a hitch, but, it sure doesn't like Reflex. Thank you for your reply though.

Sounds like the HID issue that Reflex warns about ...... Reflex has a fix for this on their web page.

Try the fix and let me know if it works!

I had the same problem as you,intermittant detection problems with Reflex but AFPD worked everytime anytime.

Have you tried another higher output PC power supply?
I know it sounds stupid ,but i think the Reflex USB dongle is more picky about the USB power voltage than AFPD.
I also changed motherboards (from N force2 to KT800Pro)round about the same time, so i'm not 100% about the power supply being the absolute cure

The Nforce2 USB ports are not really compatible with Reflex (I found out the hard way). Just install a PCI USB 2.0 adapter and be done with it.

Part of the problem is the power requirements that the Reflex interface broadcasts during enumeration. The interface says that it only requires 100 mA, which is too low for an interface that is PIC based. PCI USB adapters usually just ignore the power requirements broadcast during enumeration.

Well, MikeinMobile...I tried that too. I also installed an USB 2.0 interface card and disconnected every USB component off of the machine. I connected the Reflex interface by itself and it was still not recognized by Reflex.

I don't think I was meant to use this software..I already replaced the HD because I managed to destroy the boot sector of my original HD, by uninstalling and re-installing Norton's software (I thought that the software might be the problem). Windows XP Pro sees the HID, but, the software doesn't. I don't think that I'm going the route of replacing the motherboard. I'll just have to eat the software..Three weeks of trying to get it to work is enough.

BTW...I finally got to see what I was supposed to have been seeing after the install. I set up the softawre on a 4 yr old Dell laptop with an ATI Radeon 9000, 32Mb video card and an inconsequential sound card and it worked, jerky, but it worked...Go figure. But again, thanks for your support.

Don't know what to tell you .... it looks like you have beat this horde to death. I had problems when I first got Reflex, but finially got them all sorted out. I spent about a week finding the "magic bullet" to get it to work on my machine. As far as Reflex tech support, I don't have that much confidence in their ability to isolate the issue with the information in the DXDIAG file (there just isn't enough information in this file .... I have looked at it).

Too bad, Reflex is is an awesome simulator.

I know, I know, but again, I thank you for listening....As they say, "It is what it is!" I'll hold the software until it's time to buy another computer. I agree with you about Reflex.de. When Jeff Green approached them in my behalf, their immediate response was "re-format the HD!" My response was, "like hell!" Little did I know that I would subsequently have to replace the HD, and you know the rest of the story.

Ok after reading Tips from all of you guys heres what happen.

1. I finnaly figure out how to connect the USB reflex to my PC without that error message. I did it by connecting my dongle to my main USB port. which is located at the back of my PC.

2. The second problem now im having is.........

My CH are still acting crazy. their all moving by itself. Even though im on PPM mode. I tried and tried... and I cant seem to figure out how to work this out...

Heres what I did so far.

open reflex. plug in dongle and USB. turn on remote.

Choose model ( TREX for example )
Or Raptor 30

1st thing happen. Model blade start spinning. then..... It jump or go sideways or fly sideways by itself.

im not even touching my remote! whats seem to be the problem here guys? I really want to enjoy my reflex. and im having a hard time doing it.

You have to successfully go through the Calibrate center... and the Assign channels... before you can expect to control a model.

I don't know why the channels are jumpy. Did you observe this in the Channel display (F8) menu? The main reason I have seen for this is being in PCM mode, but since you say you are in PPM I am lost as to what may be causing this.
