Hi,

I have a proposal. Is it possible to add in simulate window of Open TXa schetch of a plane which shows what is acctually happening on all plane surfaces when you are setting mixes (move virtual sticks) ??? Its much easyer to see what you are doing then just by watching different sliders moving left and right.

Eepe and eepskye with the help of a little arduino board and serial adapter allow you to connect your model to the PC and you will see the model react to what you program in the computer. MUST REMOVE PROPS obviously. You can basically setup your model completely using the PC But these programs are not for openTX. Eepe/eepskye are the editors for er9x and ersky9x.
If you want to have a look please search the forum for "serial in eepskye". If you are interested and can't find it I can post a link to it when I get to my computer.

Well I think the idea was to see what are you doing with mixes.

Another option would be to directly link Open TX with fly sim. So you can mix your plane in open TX and press simulate and try to fly the thing (or see what is moving)???

The problem is different servos might move in different directions and it also depends on the way the serco is installed. On a simulator you can't also see how much throw a certain model would need.
