I am trying to get my Arduplane working in simulator mode (X-Plane) and am not having much success.
I have a Hitec RC system; a 2.4G Optic6 Tx and an Optima7 Rx. I have servos attached to the
four control channels. The system is in manual mode
I carefully go thru all the steps in the instructions and the results are as follows:
-the simulator software loads successfully with MP,
-the servos and the MP radio input screen shows all four channels functioning properly
-the PPM encoder LED flashes rapidly
-when I start the simulator link, the MP Ardupilot Output data shows the 3 control surfaces almost
at maximum deflection in one direction. Only the throttle channel functions properly
-the PT-60 X-Plane model shows corresponding full control surface deflections
while sitting on the runway.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong?

Hi Fred,
I had the same problem a while back and my fix was,
1 Do a full reset on the APM
2: Do the Radio Setup
3: Make sure all RC channels have RCx_Rev set to 1 not -1 (should not matter but in my setup it does.
4: Save a config file as default,parm
5: Write config to APM
6: Reload the default.parm file and write it to the APM.again.
Worked for me I hope it works for you.

Save the config file as default.parm
Which version of X-Plane are you using? We only support 9.x
