Devo 10 for simulators on Mac was created by Fantasmos
Hello,
I've got a new Devo-10 which I already successfully flashed to Deviation 5.0. At first, the computer didn't recognise the device at all. It turned out to be faulty USB cable. That was the last thing I expected but somehow figured out to try a different one and it was just connect, launch the Java app, update, all perfect
Now, I would like to link the remote to my mac and use it for simulators. I have Aerofly RC 7. However, when I link the USB to the transmitter, it just links as a flash drive and not as a gamepad controler for example. I've noticed some people recommending the purchase of separate cable, but they seem to be only for Windows XP. Any up-to-date info about how should I link the Transmitter to my Mac would be highly appreciated!

You need to create a separate model config and use the USBHID protocol for that.

So I do not need any other hardware, just the usb connection between the computer and the remote? I've tried to use the same model I use to fly the actual plane just switched the protocol to USBHID but nothing really happened. Do I need some extra software or configuration?

In theory no, but there were some reported problems with the USBHID on some Mac versions.
Look at these threads:

Thank you very much! So far, it turns out I am failing to reinitialize after switching the USBHID. I will try this out when I get back home and post the results.

Mac OS Sierra - 10.12.4 when the TX links to the computer, everything looks well on the system page but it moves the mouse around crazy.

I sincerely hope that its not your mouse which gets moved around like crazy but the cursor!
Joke aside, I experienced the same problems after uptdating from Yosemite to Sierra last Christmas. After not finding a solution for a whole week, and only finding other users who have massive problems with non-Apple-USB-devices in Sierra, I downgraded the OS back to Yosemite.
So using Yosemite is the only solution I know of. Sorry about that.

I have parallels and Windows 7 - installed Aerofly on it and it works flawlessly with the controler but has some stupid graphics glitch because of the Parallels driver direct-x 9/10 or whatever. I will try Phoenix tonight and hopefully will start some training on the simulator

Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

I found that using a VM on my 2011 mini didn't work very well - it just doesn't have enough cycles. Switching to boot camp and dual booting solved the problem.
