@@TotalRCOfficial oh ok cool thanks for the reply, if u don't mind me asking, do u have to setup like u know rates, expo, gyro etc, into the remote like u would in a actual plane so it fly's right on the computer
So I can effectively return the wireless sim dongle I just bought. When I purchased the NX8 today I asked if I still needed it and was told I did. This disproves that statement. Thank you for saving me some $$
Thank you for video! And I still have one more question, when I crashed my airplane, how to restart to get ready to fly new airplane ?? I could find it?
Hello total rc I just came across your channel and noticed it was about RF Evolution and spectrum NX8 transmitter! I live in northern Ontario Canada so I just ordered RF Evolution and I have the nx8 transmitter so your video is going to really help me when the software and the new gaming laptop arrive next week.

I only have about 2 years experience with RC planes but i have grew out of my 6 channel with in that 2 years. I did not fly at all last season but i want to get back into it. im getting real flight this winter and i was thinking of getting the NX8+ or the NX10 Will real flight use the 20 channels?
@@TotalRCOfficial I want to dogfight warbirds using FPV going to need 9 channels maybe 10 if i add smoke will the 8+ still work for that? 8+ states it can do 20 now?
Hello à vous !!! super vidéo .. merci ... Cependant je voulais vous demander la procédure à effectuer pour activer REAL FLIGHT EVOLUTION à partir de REAL FLIGHT 9.5 S ... Merci d'avance . Stéph .
Thank you, I don't know I'm afraid as this is my first time using Realflight. You should see an option in Steam to upgrade. Talking to Horizon Hobby might be your best bet if you have no joy on Steam. ✔
Hello! I'm considering getting a "real transmitter" for my RealFlight sims. I don't have any real world RC aircraft experience - and I probably won't in my area. I'm wondering, will I have to care for the transmitter batteries like the aircraft batteries? Or can I just run the transmitter with it plugged into the PC? Thanks!
Hey, your PC won't power a 'proper' transmitter so you will have to take care of the batteries. Most ship with rechargeable batteries so that is no drama :)
Thank you for making this helpful video!!! I have an unrelated question. Where did you get the little plastic/vinyl covers for your toggle switches? They look like automotive vacuum caps. Are those made just for transmitters? Thanks in advance from North Carolina, USA. (My grandmother was from and lived through the blitz in Stoke-on-Trent . ) cheers!
Hi Jackie, thank you! No these are not specifically for transmitters, in fact they are quite a tight fit but easy enough to do if you can warm them a little. I have just put a link to them on Amazon in the description so you may need to refresh the video to see it :) I can no longer find the orange version but you may have more joy in the US. Stoke-on-Trent is nice, but probably not during The Blitz 😆 I hope you have subscribed!! 😉
I had 7.5 worked great now to many problems trying to get realflight to work and trying to setup a steam account (impossible to do ) which is the only way to get it I am looking for a different product that actually will work
So, to sign switches for Evolution, I need to set them up in the radio, DX9 in my case, not in the simulator? Is that why I can't find the switch assignment page in the simulator anymore?
@@TotalRCOfficial No big deal, brother. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm assuming that my guess is correct? I guess that means my Interlink Elite from 7.5 simply can't have switches assigned for use with Evolution? I have the dongle to use my DX9, but still curious about the old Interlink.
I clicked on my Horizon Hobby email link to download the Realflight Evolution but don't see an option to download, nor is it in my Library, any help would be appreciated.
Hi John here is the link to Realflight Evolution in the Steam store. You should see an option to upgrade/buy outright depending what previous version (if any) you have had installed through Steam (I believe some people have got a free upgrade if they previously bought 9.5S) store.steampowered.com/app/2069310/RealFlight_Evolution/
@@TotalRCOfficial Thanks a million for the super quick response. Overall this has been possibly the WORST software purchase experience I have ever had, and that says a lot.
You're welcome. I have read a few posts of Facebook about people having issues so you are not alone. I hope you enjoy it, if you could help me out by subscribing that would be rad! Cheers 👍
SO what if it doesn't Register? I followed what you did and RF does not pick it up! the game fires up and runs like it see the NX8 but i have the config menu but nothing is working control wise not sure why?
I did everything step by step and I get only a screen with the jet no menu nothing anything help ? I also have the interlink DX that does the same thing I can't get the menu to show up or to see the controller to calibrate
Thankyou for sharing this would you be able to help me please, im using NX8 and the RF9.5s with the free upgrade to EVO, using a brand new i7 processor samsung laptop. i have installed the software using steam and on RF9.5 when i select simulaion / select controller nothing happens the dropdown box just closes, also when i tyr and select a helicopter i get an error message popup then the program closes down, have re installed severall times off steam to the same outcome :( when i installed the EVOLUTION version pressing escape does nothing and i cant seem to get the menu up either so frustarting anyways thanks fr the video and iv subscribed for futre content ;)
Hi Deej, thanks for the sub. That sounds like you might have a hardware/software issue. I can't help you with the shutting down or error message. You are turning on your transmitter before you load RF aren't you?
@@TotalRCOfficial yes iv since found out that the latest 12th gen Intel core processors don't support the directx software that RF uses, iv since Neen refunded, hopefully one day real flight bring their drivers upto date and I can try again 👍
@@TotalRCOfficial thanks, the last thing I'm also woundering if I have a Rc helicopter in real life that I'm not shure if I have it set up correctly, can I put the setup i have in the remote I have in real life into the simulator to make shure it works right before I fly it.
Using the dongle is super easy. Press the bind button as you insert the dongle then bind it to your transmitter like you would to a new model. The transmitter just thinks it's a new airplane.
Thank you for video! And I still have one more question, when I crashed my airplane, how to restart to get ready to fly new airplane ?? I could find it?

Can you do a video on how to save planes on real flight evolution so you don’t have to look for them on the list every time?
I will see what I can do. The laptop in this video died and I've not got round to setting it up on my new laptop yet.
Hi Total RC can i use your set up with my spektrum ix12 and the ix20 with the charging cord that comes with each one of them?

What's the plug that connects to the remote to the computer
It's the charge cable that ships with the transmitter. I believe it is called a Micro USB cable 👍
