When it comes to using your own transmitter with RealFlight, the new Spektrum WS3000T Wireless Simulator USB Dongle is a game changer. For radios that support Smart Transmitter Files, the WS3000T sends an STF to the transmitter that automatically configures it for RealFlight. Then, RealFlight detects the WS3000T and automatically selects the correct radio profile. The whole thing becomes a true plug & play process, eliminating complicated user setup to get you flying faster and more successfully!
If your radio does not support Smart Transmitter Files, that’s okay. The WS3000T retains the same broad Spektrum DSMX and DSM2 compatibility as the WS1000 & WS2000 before it. However, it improves on them by supporting up to 20 channels compared to the previous maximum of 8!
