4. Operating Instructions

Once the setup is complete and the simulator software is configured, you can begin using the Goolsky FS SM100 cable for flight simulation:

• Ensure your remote control is powered on and connected to the simulator cable.
• Launch your preferred flight simulator software.
• Verify that the simulator recognizes the input from your remote control. You should see the virtual controls respond to your physical stick movements.
• Practice various flight maneuvers and scenarios within the simulator environment. The cable transmits the PPM signal, allowing for realistic control input.
• For optimal performance, ensure no other conflicting input devices are active.
