Robert Alexander 1 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Dear friends, I'm downloading X-Plane on my Mac as I'm awaiting for my first Quad and Spektrum DX6i to arrive. I need a cable to hook up my DX6i to my USB port on the Mac. On Ebay I can only find German vendors (and I do not speak that language) but cannot understand why the prices of the cables vary tenfold !!!!!! This is just 12 Euros while this is almost the double but this is almost tenfold !!! Is there more than what meets my untrained eye in justifying such a wide spread ? Only the most (too) expensive cable mentions X-Plane explicitely Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispin church Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 the german one looks like the one they give away with the twister heli you dont have to have one that say for dx6i as long as it got same plug it will work another way of trapping you it to spending more money **LINK** this would work and you even get a few sims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 From what I can see, Robert, X-Plane is a 'full-size' flight simulator, not a model simulator. Are you sure this is what you are looking for? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I agree Pete......Xplane is not for RC and certainly not for the DX6i........Phoenix RC is what you need I think or Aerofly..? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispin church Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 no reason why he cant use dx6i on xplane it works very well on many full size flight Sims some even pick up channels 5 and 6 just go into setting and select ppm joystick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Alexander 1 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Well I was thinking about X-plane for two reasons. A) I have it already and B) I have a Mac and want a Mac program (for several reasons I don't like running virtualizers, don't own Windows licenses etc). If that does not work I would try Aerofly (which IIRC does run on a Mac). I'll probably go with the least expensive option and cross my fingers it'll work and then work upwards from there. Thanks to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
