Do not buy or use this simulator, prefer Reflex XTR (www.reflex-sim.de)
  
Pros
- very accurate, you can measure data on
your heli and put them into your simulator with no
changes...
- runs on ladtop, and small machine, no need
to have an expensive video card, CSM add support for
Windows 2000, winXP...
- very very accurate...but very very bad
looking
- very precise interface connected to lpt1,
support to 12 channels....
- True heading lock gyro ICG360
- Update are free, you can really build new
airplanes and new heli and not derivate from an existing
one (compare to realflight)
Cons
- bad graphics but is it really so bad ? we
want to fly rapidly and acquire feeling...it is not a
technical demo.
- proprietary dongle

Connect CSM 10 to a futaba FF9 : You
must own the dongle, we only want to bypass the use of the jack
connector and use a DIN..or connect to the proprietary
connector..
Run CSM in Windows 2000 :
This is only a small extract of a newsgroup post by
Andrew Powell (CSM).
1. Download and install the RainbowSSD539 sentinel driver from
http://www.rainbow.com/tech/download.html
2. Install the driver you just downloaded - leave all the options
on.(you don't need to reboot to do this).
3. Open the revent CSM folder, choose the file you wish to run eg
heli10.exe and right click and choose
"Properties" .
a) choose the "Program" tab and make sure the
"Run" dropdown says "Maximised",
b) choose the "Screen" tab and make sure the
"Usage" is "Full screen" (the others can
stay checked/unchecked as they are)
c) choose the "Misc" tab, uncheck "Allow
screen saver", "Exclusive Mode" "Always
suspend", "Fast pasting" and I also suggest
you uncheck most (if not all) of the "Windows shortcut
keys" as using them will HANG your computer (no way
out!)
d) click OK.
If you can't use the mouse in more than 1/2 the screen. Use
the "P" key to scroll down the menus "H" key
to scroll up the menus. The "Enter" key to
select and the "-"/"+" keys (not numpad -
although it may work) to change options. All the other keys
should work as advertised.
Don't (DONT) use the windows key, or windows key
combinations.. As it tends to hang the machine.
