Real Flight Deluxe on Windows XP not recognizing the Transmitter Interface

[Flybynight]

I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP and Real Flight Deluxe does not recognize the Transmitter Interface which allows me to use my own transmitter. I have a USB printer, so the Transmitter Interface is on the LPT1 port by itself. RFD was working great on Win98, what can I do?

Thanks,
James

Hey,

Just bought RealFlight Classic with the transmitter adapter. I've upgraded to v1.2, and installed the RealFlight driver manually. But I cannot get RealFlight to recognize my transmitter under XP Professional (or XP Home Edition).

Here are my specs:

PC
P3 dual 933
GeForce3
256 RAM

Transmitter
JR Quattro Lite FM

Any ideas? I've tried all the suggestions in the "I cannot get my interface to acknowledge my transmitter" from the RealFlight support website (save for the BIOS tweaking), but I've had no luck.

A very nice tech support person from Hobbico walked me through a BIOS change.

Basically, he had me switch my printer port setting to "ECP" (it was set to "Normal" before--other options were "EPP" and "ECP/EPP"). If this sounds too technical and/or doesn't help, I'd say give the tech-support line a call.

DOH! Once I installed the upgrade, RFD was able to detect and install the transmitter interface. I also set the printer port to ECP in the BIOS.

Thanks for your help and Happy Flying.
