USBg Installation Instructions
Windows XP/Vista

These instructions will help guide you through the use of the U3G, U4G, and U5G cables. Note that the U3G, U4G, and U5G do NOT require any drivers to be installed.

• Insert the USB cable into an available port on your PC.
• Go to the Control Panel (Start / Settings / Control Panel) and check to see if the "Human Interface Devices" (HID) group is shown along with the "HID-compliant game controller" and "USB Human Interface Device" sub-headings.



If the HID group is displayed (as circled above), the cable is connected properly (close the Control Panel dialog.) If the HID isn't displayed, check the USB connection to the PC or possibly try a second USB port.

Note that you do NOT have to have the other end of the simulator cable plugged into the radio for the HID to be recognized.

• Start the FMS software. You should see the opening scene similar to above.
  
  

  

• Go to the "Controls" menu and click on "Analog Control..."
  
  

  

• Select "Joystick Interface". (The older U3, U4, and U5 cables used the "Serial-PIC Interface".)
  
  

  

• Click on the [Calibrate] button.
• Click here for more information on mapping/calibration.

Special Instructions for Futaba 10CG (Integrated Module) Users

For the new Futaba 10CG Integrated radios (10CAG and 10CHG), the aircraft type needs to be changed in the Parameters menu for the Aileron controls to work properly in the simulator.

Turn on the radio

Press and hold the [Mode] button for one second

Use the "Cursor" joystick to move to the "Basic Menu [2/2]"

Enter the Parameter menu

Change the Type setting from the default "ACROBATIC" (for the 10CAG; it's "HELICOPTER" for the 10CHG) to "GLID(1A+1F)"

Press the [End] button twice to save the settings and exit.

In the Calibration menu of FMS (or other simulator), the Ailerons should now be mapped to Channel 5.

Make sure to change back the aircraft Type to the appropriate setting when flying a real plane!
