“Wireless” is a hot button word being used everywhere with all kinds of convenience items in our daily lives. So Hangar 9 and Spektrum teamed up to bring you a wireless interface adapter for the FS One flight simulator. If you are one of the many people flying the Spektrum DX6 or new DX7 radios you would only expect to be able to use your transmitter with Hangar 9 FS One simulator and do it wireless. Now you can.

Spektrum’s new wireless interface is easy to use with FS One so I thought I would outline the process for you. If you are a Spektrum owner you have become familiar with the need to bind the transmitter with the receiver and now the same simple process is also necessary with this wireless interface. The step by step follows:

1. With your Spektrum DX7 transmitter select the model that you want to use from the model memory, then turn it off.
2. With your computer turned on, make sure that FS One (the program) is not running.
3. While pushing the bind button on the Spektrum FS One wireless adapter, plug the interface into the FS One adapter. When connected properly the LED in the adapter will begin blinking indicating it is in bind mode.
4. Press and hold the Bind Button on the Spektrum transmitter then turn on the power switch. The LED will flash for a few seconds and the system will complete the bind. The LED on the wireless adapter will no longer be flashing.
5. At this point the bind process is complete, however you will have to re-calibrate the transmitter settings in FS One. Boot up FS One and select the JR 8103 transmitter then follow the on-screen instructions. When finished you are ready to fly.

This will complete the bind process and you can begin flying the model of your choice in Hangar 9’s FS One simulator. Using your own transmitter will allow you to use the various features available in the DX6 or DX7 such as dual rates, sub trims, travel adjustments, mixes and more. With DX7 when you change the model memory selection in your transmitter you must repeat the bind process. Please note that surface Spektrum systems do not work with the wireless interface.
