Are not all of the curves and programming features of the transmitter available when used instead of the interlink? I have not had a Realflight package but my old Aerofly with the transmitter adaptor allowed me all the program features of my old Prism 7X something the supplied controller could not duplicate.ĭennisI think getting the "feel" for your own transmitter is an advantage of using the interlink edition. For example the controls and switches on the interlink do not compare to most transmitters except the where the gimbals are concerned. I thought the idea of using your transmitter was to be able to familiarize yourself with the features of that transmitter and help fine tune the controls. I am not a heli flyer predominantly a scale aero and glider pilot.

The reason I am asking is I have been considering upgrading to new software and I am split between the Realflight and Aerofly. Are not all of the curves and programming features of the transmitter available when used instead of the interlink? I have not had a Realflight package but my old Aerofly with the transmitter adaptor allowed me all the program features of my old Prism 7X something the supplied controller could not duplicate. * requiring either frequent replacement, or buying and managing separate sets for flying and RF.I thought the idea of using your transmitter was to be able to familiarize yourself with the features of that transmitter and help fine tune the controls. * requiring either frequent replacement, or buying and managing separate sets for flying and RF. With the Interlink, you can kick back in your chair and fly, crash, rewind/reset, change airplanes and control many RF features from the Interlink control panel. If you hook up RF with a transmitter, in addition to using Tx batteries*, in order to change airplanes, airfields or display features you must use either a keyboard or mouse.

With the Interlink, you'll never make an early morning trip to the flying field and discover that you left your transmitter sitting on the desk, connected to your PC after a late night practice session. Recall that Murphy's Law still applies to RC flying. The two other options are not bad, but the Interlink Elite offers the best way of doing things.Īgree with opjose - you can save a few bucks by using your own transmitter, or get the TTX600 in the deal, but in addition to controlling eight "model" channels, the Interlink was set up as a controller for the RF software, and includes handy control buttons that you can use to manage most of the simulation from the Interlink controller. There is a thread on the Realflight forum where people who have purchased both the TTX600 and the Interface version have come to realize all of this. WIth the Interlink Elite you CAN hook up your own transmitter if you choose, but you'll quickly find that using the Interlink alone is the best choice. The TTX600 provided with the sim does not have "training mode" ( wireless training hookups ) available, because that was sacrificed to permit it to work with the simulator. The RED Reset and menu buttons on the Interlink Elite don't exist on your transmitter nor on the TTX600 There is less latency with the Interlink Elite, versus any other Transmitter hookup (on any sim) as there is less hardware "in the way". You can move the Interlink Elite to another computer and use the sim there without changing anything in the sim. The variants, helis and planes available for the sim all utilize the Interlink Elite setup. You do not have to user your TX batteries for the sim. There is NO wear and tear on your own transmitter as a result.
You do not have to plug in a charged transmitter. The Interlink Elite is powered via USB, so you can merely plug it in and fly the sim. With the Interlink Elite you get more functions and buttons on the USB transmitter, which the sim will recognize, than you will with either of the other two options. You quickly run into the limitations this produces. Forgo both the TTX600 and the interface only version, get the Interlink Elite version instead.Ī lot of people MISTAKENLY think that they MUST have their own transmitter hooked to a sim for best "feel" or use.
