Hello,
I have a TX Radiomaster Boxer 4in1 and I wish to buy RealFlight Evolution. I wish to know if I would need additional stuff to use RealFlight Evolution with my TX:
specific cable? Standard USB cable? USB dongle ...?
I am a newbie and didn't succeed to find the information..
Thanks
 
A standard USB cable will get you the most functionality (number of channels to use). A Spektrum dongle will free you from the wires, but limits you to only 8 channels, which is useable, but may not be as convenient to enable all that you may wish to do from your transmitter.

With the cable, the other benefit is that you can turn off the transmitting modules completely, and therefore get much longer battery life out of the transmitter.

Expect a bit of a learning curve in how to set up a model in the transmitter, getting it to talk to Windows, and how to get that to then be configured in Real Flight.
 
To work with RealFlight, your controller needs to present itself to Windows as a USB game controller (or joystick). I'm pretty sure the Boxer can handle that. When you connect the Boxer to the computer via USB, you would choose to do so as USB Joystick rather than USB File Transfer. If you prefer to go wireless, you could use a USB wireless receiver but you'll be limited to 8 channels.

You would set up the TX with a model that's a simple 4-channel airplane, plus assign all switches to radio channels. Via USB, you can use as many channels through the joystick mode as the TX allows in general. If you go wireless, set up channels 5-8 on switches.

Then in RealFlight, you would use the Controller Profile to edit the way channels on the TX are assigned to the channels in RF. The models in RF are all tied to "standard" channels within RF. After you spend the time setting up the Controller Profile, all of the models will work. You don't need to set things model by model.

If you're on a pretty current version of EdgeTX, use "Classic Mode" for the USB Joystick. It's more trouble than it's worth (and not necessary) to use the new advanced setup where you try to map things on the TX to specific Windows game inputs. You can sort all that out using the Controller Profile in RF.
 
My Boxer works great and just as described above. You power on the Boxer. Connect via cable to the PC and select Joystick. Start RealFlight Evolution. Once in, calibrate the controller in RFE. I did have to make a model specifically for RFE and I set them up like my real models. I also set and use a scenario so I have the Realistic setup for flying.
