FlySky FS-i6X with Real Flight

[jack10525]

Can I use a Flysky fs-i6x radio with real flight 9x. If so what cable do I need?

No mention in the manual that it emulates joysticks/game controllers. Appears that the USB is only for firmware updates to the radio.
So, no, it doesn't look like you can use that radio - unless Flysky sells a USB dongle that receives wirelessly from the TX, like Spektrum and Frsky have (but are not compatible with Flysky).

yes, works great. Just make sure to set the output iBus in the settings and use the cable that Flysky sells. Mine came with the cable i need

Resurrecting for my Newbness.
I too have bought the FS-i6x and the RF Trainer software. The E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m is the only plane I can control/ The switches of the FSi6x are not recognized by the programme. I read above that one should set the output iBus... but how? Please elaborate

Hello, I am not going to buy Realflight without knowing if it works with flysky receiver and USB compatible cable (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/fms.html)
Do you think it is possible?
Ideally, I want to use it with steam on this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1314820/RealFlight_Trainer_Edition/
