Hello Guido:
I have tested again the JW24RC in a desktop PC under XP and in the Control Panel they appear the channels in the correct order, and work fine , but in Real Flight G2 they work only channels 1 and 2 ;channels 3 and 4 do not work, just as it happens under Windows 98se.
You said that the problem resides in the USB implementation in Windows, but exist USB interfaces that work with this program for example these:

and another more.
It could be the problem in firmware of JW24RC ?
Is possible fix the problem with an aditional software , driver or DLL ?
Whereupon software simulator you have tested the JW24RC ?
Best Regards

Re: Joy Warrior JW24RC
This is not a problem of the JoyWarrior24RC, it is an implementation error in the simulator. We have seen it quite often that simulator programmers do not put much effort into testing their input routines.
Please talk to the manufacturer of Real Flight and tell them about the problem. We are doing the same every time we find a software product that does not implement proper input routines.
But we are defintiely not going to make changes to our products to fix bugs of somebody else.

Hello guido:
Thanks for your faster answer , but you do not make mention to links and you do not indicate in that simulator it works correctly.
In any case a product so I specify as this orienting to a already existing market, it would have to adapt to the necessities of present software , as other manufacturers , and not reverse as you say.
In any case He would be advisable refer in the data sheet of the incompatibilities with present existing software.

We did not test with Real Flight, but we have tested with a number of other simulators and programs.
There is no problem on the side of JoyWarrior to document. We do follow the USB specs and the controller works just fine with properly done programs. We are not going to make changes to our products just because some simulator programmer does have bugs in his software (aside from the fact that we do have an installed base that relies on the documented function).
I am going to contact the manufacturer of Real Flight and will tell them about the problem. After all it is their problem and it is up to them to fix it.

The offical answer I got from KnifeEdge is that they do not support 3rd party controllers, they offer their own controllers and those work and the customers should use those.
So the bottom line is that they don't care. The result on our side is that we do declare RealFlight G3 as officially incompatible and we recommend to use software from people who care about their customers.

FMS is a very basic simulator with very poor graficos, and MS FS is not a RC flight simulator.
The developers of quality RC flight simulation software usually also commercialize their own interfaces reason why it is logical that try to prevent that the interfaces of the competition work. If in fact they try that the JW24RC comercialize of a correct form they would have to cause that worked with maxim of quality RC flight simulators , skipping the possible protections that have put their developers.
In another case I believe that they would have to retire it of the market and/or to warn that only work with FMS.
Best Regards
