Spektrum WS1000/WS2000 Dongle Help USB Spektrum Wireless Simulator Dongle the Spektrum WS1000/WS2000 Wireless Simulator USB Dongles are compatible with any of the Spektrum transmitters that utilize the Spektrum DSMX or DSM2 protocols. This interface unit allows modelers to wirelessly control the flight of their RealFlight models from the same transmitter that will be used to fly their actual models. There are several different modes of operation. For additional information on connecting the WS2000 and programming the transmitter (if applicable) please refer to the WS2000 sections within this guide. Connecting your Spektrum Transmitter to the WS2000 Wireless Dongle The WS2000 dongle allows the use of Spektrum DSMX and DSM2 compatible transmitters with RealFlight. 1. Select a new default (unused) model in your Spektrum transmitter. 2. Press and hold the bind button on the side of the WS2000 Spektrum wireless simulator dongle. This is the area with the Spektrum logo represented by the ‘bars’. With the bind button depressed, insert the unit into a powered USB port. The wireless dongle should enter a bind mode indicated by a rapidly blinking light. If using the WS1000 wireless dongle, the bind button is located on the end of the dongle. 3. Follow the bind process/methodology for your transmitter, bind the wireless dongle to your Spektrum transmitter. A solidly glowing light on the wireless dongle indicates that it is now bound to the Spektrum transmitter. If you experience difficulty in binding to the wireless dongle, move the transmitter away from the dongle while attempting to bind. We suggest a distance between 1–3 meters. Implementing the WS2000 Wireless Dongle with RealFlight Make sure that the dongle is inserted in a powered USB port and that the Spektrum transmitter is powered on and bound to the dongle as described above. For our example, we will be utilizing the WS2000 which is the most recent wireless dongle offered. 1. From the Simulation menu, click the Select Controller… menu item. The following window will appear: 2. If it not already selected, please select the Spektrum Receiver (WS2000) as the Active controller methodology. The controller/ device that is currently in use (or ‘Active’) is indicated by the orange bar next to the name (as depicted in the image above). To do so, simply click anywhere in the box that denotes the controller type. 26 3. If the Spektrum Receiver/controller does not appear in the list of options, click the Refresh button. This will, as the name suggests, update the list of available controllers and the Spektrum Receiver (WS2000) should now appear amongst these options. 4. Click OK to accept the selected controller and return to the simulation. Your transmitter’s control inputs should function within the simulation at this point. Please verify by inputting commands from your Spektrum transmitter and viewing the aircraft’s movement onscreen. From here, we strongly recommend calibrating the Spektrum transmitter within the simulation. This will ensure that the models are trimmed properly and that the control input yields the desired output. For example, you want to make sure that the aileron stick not only moves the aileron but also that it moves it in the proper direction. RealFlight also offers an incredible amount of flexibility and customization. This same level of flexibility is afforded to the control methodology as well. For example, it is possible to assign a different switch, knob, etc. to control a given function within the simulation to suit your personal preference. Please refer to the applicable section of this guide for information on the profile, calibration, editing, etc. within the simulation. It is possible that you may still need to edit the transmitter profile to work with the channel mapping of your transmitter. Please see Select Controller… for more information
