4.3. Connecting the Cable

1. Connect Adapter to Transmitter: Select the appropriate adapter cable for your Flysky remote controller's trainer port. Connect one end of the adapter cable to the trainer port on your transmitter.
2. Connect USB Cable to Adapter: Connect the 3.5mm jack of the main USB simulator cable to the other end of the adapter cable.
3. Connect USB to PC: Plug the USB end of the simulator cable into an available USB port on your computer. The red LED on the USB connector should blink rapidly, indicating a connection.

4.4. Verifying Connection and Calibration

1. Check Device Manager: On your Windows PC, open 'Devices and Printers' or 'Device Manager'. The system should recognize the simulator cable as a 'PPM' device.
2. Calibrate in Simulator Software: Launch your chosen flight simulator software (e.g., ClearView). Navigate to the controller setup or calibration section. Select 'PPM' as the input device. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your transmitter sticks and switches. This typically involves moving all sticks through their full range of motion and centering them.
