I can not use my T8SG Plus with a flight simulator, be it Multifly, Phoenix RC or Real flight, the radio is not recognized, I think it is necessary to configure the transmitter but I do not know how . Does anyone know how to do it?
Thank you

The much easier way that I prefere is using a USB reciever dongle: OrangeRx USB RX dongle
Just connect it to USB, make a model in the T8SG and connect it thru normal protocol RX binding (dsmx) and it just works. Shows up in windows as "USB dsmX HID" game controller. Its a bonus that the USB dongle fits nicely in my T8SG v2 plus battery compartment infront of the battery so it wont get lost.
You can make one if you have a rx with cPPM youre not using and a USB dongle mic in/soundcard. The RX get its power from the USB jack and cPPM output connected to mic in. Then use software to interpet the connection (vJoy / SmartPropoPlus Setup). But it can be buggy.

Ok, I give up. Not working with Real Flight.7. The dongle is recognized but the T8SG plus is not when going into the setup. I have DSMX selected and go the binding and get the green light to come up. Does one have to set an ID in there? Is there a PPM In setting other than none.
I have the power output set at 30mw. Any help appreciated.
Simply when I get to the calibration screen on Real Flight 7 none of the control movements do anything. Kurt

Get that bright LED lit. Got through the setup process except I can't set the switches on the T8SGPlus. This is with Aerofly RC 7. Well at least I got it bonded. I copied an XK k110 ini file in and was able to fly a bit. Kurt

You can go in to windows USB game controllers and check how many it receives and that its signaled to the computor correctly. So your problem might be something with the sim, I havnt tried Aerofly RC so I cant help you there.
I found that the frame rate is degraded with that "orange" dongle. Close but no cigar. I had to get Aerofly as no other commercial
simulator was available. With Tower going bankrupt, the RealFlight simulator was out of stock at every source I tried so went with Aerofly with the overseas source. It looks good. I did get the "Ultimate" version and simply use the clone tranny that was supplied. I was hoping I could get the "Plus" to work with it but it is less than desirable with this born again beginner.

Are their drivers we are missing perhaps?

i plugged into the USB from the T8SG V2 PLUS into the computer. windows 10 pro
i went into one of the unused models, and instead of dsmx or whatever i selected the protocol to be USBHID. clicked re-init and you hear the windows chime.
opened up the flight sim and it was an option to choose. it didn't pop up in windows 10 like say my ps4 controller did but shows up on list for the game and it works.
now...i didn't have to change anything on the computer at all. not sure if that is normal or b/c the other night i clicked through a bunch of downloads such as the DFU usbdrv installer...maybe it installed usb drivers?
i don't know where i am supposed to look in device manager to see what it is called.
t8sg v2 v5.00 abc5dcf i think this is old version?

i found a $16 dongle that lets you plug in through PPM. i can make it work just fine but you still have to set up switches for them to work. i used the file from one of my helis and i couldn't get the pitch control to work.
when i use just basic heli template the switches haven't been mapped yet.
