Want to use your FlySky i6 or i6X with a flight simulator? Me too! Well, you'll need the FlySky SM100 cable (sometimes called a USB dongle)!

I really like the Liftoff simulator for FPV practice, but WHAT SIMULATOR do YOU use?
I also use Liftoff and the cable that came with my flysky i6x worked out of the box.
Use LiftOff too and same as 'Flying'. FS-I6X Worked out of the box with included cable. Bought in the UK from Amazon a couple of days ago.
Ok thanks guys! Maybe it's a new thing flysky is doing? I'll look into this more!
Liftoff and DRL.
@@RCwithAdam1 actually th fs i6 uses a direct usb communication while as the fs i6 uses ppm and maybe ftdi which needs additional software
Hi Adam, can you please share the driver ? because i can't find it
John from Australia I just want to thank you for putting all the videos on flysky ,it makes it easy for a 76 year to understand and to follow thanks again .
John, that means a lot to me. Thank you!!
I would have never thought that the cable that came with the transmitter wasn't the one to use on a simulator. Thanks for posting it!
it works! i used it many times
Great video. Next step after the cable is to enter the DRL on-line qualifying races and win one for the Flysky community!!! Thanks again for a fantastic piece. Happy simming!
Hi! That's a fantastic idea! Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea this was going on!
Can you make a tutorial to download the drivers?
I used the data cable with realflight 9.5 (windows 10). While I was customizing a transmitter profile the option for FXi6-X came up, it's been running fine ever since.
Thanks for sharing...very useful info!
That piece on the cable is a ferrite ring magnet used to block RF interference so the signal stays clean.
Hope you're staying safe out there Andy. I was hoping you can help me out. I have the i6x and I'm trying to use it for liftoff simulator. It reads it but when I try to do a free flight the throttle position is in the center position. Idk if that's how its supposed to be. Also I can seem to arm the drone to fly. If you can help I would really appreciate it. Thank in advance and keep up the awesome work.
I don't know if they have updated something or not but the cable they supply with it works fine for real filght 9.5 and window 11
Great! Just what I'm looking for.
I have the i6 and I'm planning to use the fpv air 2.
Thanks for this video ☺🔥, but i miss your intro.....
Hey Adam hope all is well! I have the i6x and it came with a cable that is read in liftoff.. the operations work in on the control options menu to move the little drone to the side. When I go to free flight and try to fly i cant disarm or arm the motor to take off and fly. I followed one of your videos on how to set aux channels and assign switches, so I should have an arm and disarm switch but still nothing happens. If you can help me out with this problem I'd appreciate so much man. Thanks in advance.
The plastic thing is called a "Ferrite Choke" and used to prevent EMI noise :).
Could you make the driver files available?
You can use I6X with stock cable that came with transmitter in simulator without any problem, if it doesnt work thatrs mean that you should update firmware in transmitter in fact You should update to moded firmware becouse stock have some problem with frame rate.
Hey that's great to hear! Thanks for the info! Could you share a link to the firmware you used?
@nomadFpv Hi, did you try it and then confirming? I am about to order an I6X. Deciding whether to buy the additional SM100 wire or not.
i have my gimbals being recognised but how do i make my switches and knobs work?
windows and my games wont recognise them at all
*Does this cable definitely work with a Mac? Just about to buy but the items description says: 'Not for Mac"?*
Yes. I use it all the time with my Macbook.
@@RCwithAdam1 Great! Thanks
@@RCwithAdam1 Hi Adam, thanks for the post.
i bought the FS-i6X, and own a mac mini, but my computer doesn't see the controler. is there something i'm missing? Thanks in advance.
Can you use The same simutalor cable for Flysky Fs-i6S Transmitter? I got it on order anyways could not find the exact cable for this model.
Thanks for sharing, it works great for me on my Macbook.
Do you, or anyone, know how to get the switches to work as well? For me only the axis are recognised.
same my switches and knobs dont work either even tho i have them assigned to channels
Just arrived to me, and i've tried, the windows 10 recognize it but it doesn't have any driver installed and don't let me update it. The simulator Real Flight 7.5 don't recognize it
i am using flysky fsct6b transmitter and using firmbare cable for simulator , i am unable to connect phenix rc simulator
I tried this cable with an SD-10GS on a mac, but unfortunately it did not work.
Hello! I have the same cable. Where can I download the driver?
hi adam i was flying fpv (after you helped me fix it BIG THANKS BTW) and i wasn't getting great range with my fs-16x connected to x6b would it be a good idea to mod the fs16x to have a better range?
Glad you got it worked out! About how far could you go before losing signal? And what is your antenna placement like? That will have a big effect on the range.
@@RCwithAdam1 i got around 75 to 100 meters and then the signal strength went down to 4 and my remote started beeping could you advise me with how i could mount my antennas?
great video thanks for the help
does the radio still require batteries to use this cable? Because this would drain batteries quickly
Would you mind sharing the driver? I have search google to download the driver but no luck.
Can anybody help me with the required drivers to download for windows, I am kinda struck!!!.Unable to recoginze
Where download driver for SM100 cable cant recognized my PC win 10 pro
You only said how to connect the cable
Hi, did you put electrical tape on the usb thingy because it was flashing red all the time or its just mine behaving like that ?
Also my inputs are 'jittering' a lot I don't know why. :'(
Hi! Yes, the red light continually blinks. I've had the jittering issue as well. Usually there is a way to add "deadband" to the channel in the simulator so that the jittering gets canceled out.
Is it possible to use the SM100 cable to update the firmware on fsi6?
is there any way to use this without using battery?
can you use sm100 cable to upgrade firmware?
Can you make a video on how to use an F4 flight controller to connect your i6 to a sim? That way you're wirelessly connected.
Hi! I'm not sure if that is possible, but it would be cool. I haven't heard of that before. Could you provide any more info on that? 🙂
@@RCwithAdam1 there is a video about it by Joshu Bardwell m.czcams.com/video/wuobzowLfj0/video.html
There is also an article by Oscar Liang , but they haven't done it using an i6.
I haven't gotten my parts to try it yet. And I don't think anyone else has made a video about it.
Hello Adam, I’ve tried everything and I can’t get it to work, is there a controller update needed or another place to download the driver or something to do? Thank you
Hi! What radio, computer, and simulator are you using?
RCwithAdam it’s the fs-i6x, lift off simulator and my pc has 32 gb of ram and a gtx880M
@@TonyGaSch it should work with drive.google.com/file/d/0B8DSGdAr8_31N0JrSlRlUXN2SEU/view
can u please just give a demo of its software part
hi nice video ... but can i disable the transmitter when i play? Or the transmitter always work? I don't know if it can be good for our health ...
Hi! Very good question! Right now I don't think the broadcasting can be turned off.
I can't find any drivers that work do you know of any?
I was able to use my fs i6x cable that came in the box in picasim but it doesn't work in pheonix rc any solution for that
You need the sm100 showed in this video
where i find the driver for sm100?
That's a totally different Data cable to what got shipped with my fs 16x.
Thanks for the video! However it's not working with Windows 10, do you have the driver or know from where download it? Thanks!
drive.google.com/file/d/0B8DSGdAr8_31N0JrSlRlUXN2SEU/view
took me a while to find a working link
@@geoffprogression Thank you.
@@geoffprogression did it work with the driver in windows 10

RcwithAdam Hello Adam i'm using same Radio Controller and same Fs-SM100 with macbook pro High Sierra version 10.13.6,usb is flashing a red light, I was able to tune controller with LIFTOFF Simulator but when I want to start flying doesn't do anything, Usb light has to flash blue light right ? Do I have to download any driver for Macbook ? Please Help
Hi! No, mine stays red all the time. So the stick controls will work during the liftoff calibration process but not during the actual flight sim?
hey man. ive veen tryin to use this on my fkysky FS-I6 with liftoff on a mac. problem is, the mac doesnt recognize the USB whenever i start the simulator.
can you help me out?
im runnin BigSur 11.1 btw.
same for me on Big Sur nothing is working. Red light is pulsing but can't calibrate (not detected) I'm using adapter to connect USB-A to USB-C.
Any help? ;(
I cant find the link could someone please sent it to me
Great Video. Does it work on OSx?
Yes! That is what I use most of the time now.
RCwithAdam thanks a lot. I will give a try for my first fpv Simulator.
Will Fs ct6b work?
Bro it didn’t work for me in liftoff in mac
I’m sitting here with the data cable frustrated on why my inputs don’t show up on lift off…. I need the other cable.. what a joke… thank you for this video. I was about to throw my radio out my front door.
my flysky i6s not connected/detected with this cable to pc, is this have driver software?
Hi! Could be. Depending on which operating system you have, you will need to download the driver software like I did in the video.
Anyone know free airplane and drone simulators ?
hey Adam could I get a cord to buddy box with my son to teach him how to fly with 2x of these controllers?
Hi! Theoretically, yes. I haven't actually tried it yet though.
@@RCwithAdam1 okay thanks man I will try to find a cord and try it out I just didn't know if it was possible
Is there a way to make the controller work on Macs? THanks
Works on my 2018 macbook no problem.
Can i just solder in a usb cable and just you that?
I'm not sure. I suppose it's possible, but I've never tried it.
just had this. seen as ppm on windows. doesn't work with liftoff.. controller unknown
oops my mistake. can use really with flysky. just need manually assign channels to the controls.
I have a laptop with an ryzen 5 5500u, 16 gb ram, and a amd radeon graphics card. What simulator do you guys recommend?
5m 59s to tell me you plug it into the PC and into the back of the Flysky tx. You don't half waffle on. 😉
Hi
Will it work with mobile phone?
Hi! I haven't tried yet so I don't know.
Does it work for mac also?
Yes
Ah yes.I used wrong cable.
Is it compatible to use win 10?
Hi! It has worked fine for me!
useless
Can you post the google drive link to download the drivers? The link isn't working for me.
yeah... I also need the same... Plzzzz @RCwithAdam1
