    The original interface is not X-Sim compatible. You need an X-Sim interface.

    Do you have some basic soldering skills?

    Ok I have one friend to do that.
    But I connect the RnR as you show on general specification using serial and I can move the chair by joystick. The problem is I cant move the chair acording the plane position (MSFS9).
    One more question, I have 2 compressor with 3 bar each, so I have 6 bar, is possible more Bars than 6? I have a bigger compressor with 14 Bars, can I use it?

    If one would be able to control the RnR accordingly to plane or car position with the original interface, then we would not need the X-Sim software^^
    Think about it...

    With the orig interface just joystick mode is supported.

    For more features you need the X-Sim RnR Interface.

    Sure you can use a bigger compressor. But if I was you, I'd put a choke in between the compressor and the valves. Just in case you dont want to upgrade your RnR to a catapult ;D

    :D :D :D :D

    But my first impression of RnR was bad..... if I move the chair to Left and right with fast moves on joystick, appear that need more pressure.

    Now Im going start all the improves to get the better result possible.

    I have one RnR chair with original interface, two compresor with 3 bar each and a possibility to use another compressor more strong (until 14 bar)

    Please tell me what I have to do :oops:
    step by step
    and all the advices that you (all of you :) ) think important

    King regards

    3 bar + 3 bar is not 6 bar, still just 3 bar with more air supply. Like one 3 bar compressor with double sized tank.

    To use the X-Sim software you need a x-sim interface!

    Ok, step by step:

    1. take a screw-driver and dismount the original interface out of the RnR
    2. put a x-sim interface in the RnR
    3. start the x-sim software

    Thats all...

    Bryna,

    This is what they are talking about:

    http://www.x-simulator.de/en/hardware/r ... rface.html

    There are a few different versions of it in the forums, The one pictured is a 1 to 1 replacement with the original RNR board. They are all DIY at the moment.

    Egoexpress has a version he put together that has no surface mount parts that should be easier to build if you are going to build one.

    Please take a look under the “X-Sim compatible controller interfaces” Part of this website for more options.
