  1. Did you get your switch sorted out? Depending on where you are I could do it for you. I've just bought an NX8 and I also have 2 T8J's and buddy lead, one as mode 1 and the other mode 2, I can fly either, it's just a matter of binding the right one. I've also kept my T6EX.
  2. Hi all, I just bought the D100 V2 last week due to my Overlander RC6 going faulty The total output is 100W shared between all the 3 outputs on AC supply, so let's say you give40 watts to the DC output that leaves you with 60watts to be shared on output A & B. It is then the output on A that you can adjust. The power is in the name, in other words the D200 version can supply a total of 200W. I find the bluetooth app pretty good, for anybody that has trouble connecting it, all my devices said they could not connect using default passwords, go into system settings, use -/+ to goto the version screen, leave it on that and watch the screen, it will show you what the app password is set to. Whilst in the system settings you can turn ON the speech output but, in some places it's not very clear as it's a Chinese person speaking the English prompts. The pc based software has bugs in the program setting screen and I've reported to Overlander who have passed it to their I.T. people. I do like the leads that plug into the charger as you cannot accidentally put them together if you had connected the batteries first but you don't seem to be able to buy those as extras, I would have preferred one of the leads to have a Deans connecter but you do get 2 leads with no output connector so you can fit your own.
  3. Hi, If your computer has 2 graphics cards, check your running the sim with the best card. Drop quality of the graphics and sound low and see if that clears the problem then slowlly bit by bit increase the quality. Update drivers as much as possible. If the computer has pre-boot diagnostics built in then try that. Check via win10 control panel that you are sending sound via the HDMI output. regards Steve
  4. I'm going to assume that the reason for access to camera function, photo library etc are understood after all this time. My Overlander RC6 charger packed in a couple of days ago with controller failure and short err. Purchased the D100 V2 today, installed the app on 2 tablets and an android phone and the program for the pc. The reason for the camera and photo library access is because the app needs to read the QR code if you create them for your various batteries, this saves you having to remember your preferred charge settings. My only gripe is with the preset program settings on the PC, if you click on a program, in the name box where you would expect to be able to alter it after selecting edit - you can't do, it remains set as Program 1 etc. You can't delete or insert anything .
  5. Hi Everybody, Sorry I have to revive this slightly, I have bought an Arrow Marlin but before I fly it, I thought I'd practice with flaperons to get into the habit of using flaps. I have the T8J and T6EX connected ok, all trims and sticks switching over ok apart from a problem with the flaperons. With them setup ok on the T8J, I moved onto setting up the T6EX, what I did was enable flaperons on the T6EX and tried trimming and throws etc, I cannot get any movement at all from the T6EX flap switch - Flaps are enabled on the T8J's trainer screen. If I disable the flaperons on the T6EX and just use flaps trim and trims/throws in general, the flaps are almost perfect between the two. I can't get the same amount of flaps travel from the T6EX as I can from the T8J. Anybody any clues, not really crucial as I'm looking for another T8J
  6. Hello Ian, Did you get to the bottom of the various storage states? I reported a problem to Overlander last year regarding the storage voltage function of the RC6 but never got around to sending mine to them. If you 'google' what the voltage should be for storing lipo's you get 3.85V per cell, the Overlander user manual also itself states this. When I use mine to discharge/charge to storage state, it takes the batteries to 3.7V per cell which is the base rating for a lipo cell. What did/do you get on yours if you use the storage function? regards Steve
  7. Hi, At the weekend at the LMA show at Elvington I decided to buy a parallel charging board for my overlander 2200 3S batteries with Deans connectors. Unfortunately none of the batteries will fit the Deans connectors on the board without some severe forcing so bad it hurts. All the leads that came with my RC6 charger will fit the board, the boards own main input lead will fit itself, the main lead will also fit all my electric planes fine so the problem appears to be with the Deans connectors on the Overlander batteries The Deans connectors on the Parallel board are XT Deans, the ones on the batteries don't have a make on them. Anybody else had same/similar problem? Short of changing all the Batteries connectors for XT Deans or making some sort of adapter I can't use it regards Steve
  8. Hi I've never heard of that system, be interesting how it works seeing as the protocol for fast and sfhss is different.
  9. Ok a couple of things here, John: the master is the T8j on sfhss, the slave/pupil set, ie the 6EX should hv the tx output disabled when the correct end of the cable is fitted, I have tgat some cables are labelled master/slave on the plugs, so my understanding with this type is the slave is sending stick/trim/ and mixes depending on the trainer settings in the master t8j. Justin: my t8j came with 4 cell NiMH pack which is why i asked about battery selection. A couple of years ago   Santa has brought me two more receivers for the t8j The person that told me t8j and 6ex couldn't be used together? A ripmax rep!   Regards   Steve   Edited By Steve Ashton on 25/12/2016 20:48:27 Edited By Steve Ashton on 25/12/2016 20:49:13 Edited By Steve Ashton on 25/12/2016 20:50:01
  10. Cheers Jon, I'll go for it then, what it is, I have a friend who was full size pilot and did his 'A' many years ago and now works with me, he's bought a trainer to get back into it so intend helping him to get 'stick fit' again. regards Steve
  11. Hi Denis, Thanks for that, somebody did say that they couldn't be used but what they said didn't make sense to me, they said because the 6ex is on faast and t8j on sfhss they wouldn't work but in trainer mode the pupils output is disabled and the signal is via the master as far as I'm aware. The 6ex doesn't mention the T8J but then when it's manual was written the T8J didn't exist. regards Steve
  12. Hi all, Is there anybody out here that has used a T8J as the instructors set and a 6EX for the pupil, there seems to be contradicting info about it. Also, I have previously used ailerons on ch 1 and 6, next year I'm going to be setting up a plane that has seperate flap servos, do these go on ch 7 or 8 and controlled either by VR, a switch, or the DT5/6 switches. There maybe a similar post by myself which seemed to go missing. regards Steve
  13. Hi all, After having not been flying RC for several months I loaded up Phoenix and tried online No Server was the reply. With the appearance of version 5, is version 4 no longer used online? regards Steve
