I lost my tx that came with my old as dirt dave brown sim.

So I bought a copy of preflight that comes w/ a sim cable that plugs my futaba then into the microphone jack.

Are there any other sims (besides FMS) that will work on this set up?

wow, I didnt know anyone else had the old dave browns flight sim.

I dont know what preflight is but if you have a cable that goes from the tx to the computor then you should be able to use any flight sim with it.

I got it tonight, it plugs in through the MIC spot. It works w/ the preflight sim, but I have no idea how it works.. I can't (don't know how) to get it to register so I could use it w/ FMS or clearview

Oh theres a write up on this website that tells how to make one that goes into the mic port to work with fms, check it out maybe it tell you what you need to know.
