F3X

This program works only under the combination of Windows2000 and FMS. It works on WindowsXP rarely, but there is a case when the FMS will not start. In this case, please delete winmm.dll which you installed. Although the FMS starts again, you can't use SmartPropo in your system.

Installation

First, please download the DLL to suit with your TX form the Download page. If your TX supports both PCM and PPM mode, I recommend you to use the PCM version. The file is compressed by zip. Please refer this page, if you want to know how to extract them. When you extract this file, you may find the file named "winmm.dll". Then, please copy this file into the folder where you installed the FMS (where FMS.exe exists).

Please start FMS now. If it starts normally, please open the dialog from "Controls - Analog control...", and then, please select "Joystick Interface" and click "Resources". A dialog like the left may comes. If it is indicated at the column of "Joystick 1" that "SmartPropo and Number of Axis : 6 and State : If displayed as Active", this process is a success. When this screen does not come, please confirm once again whether winmm.dll is copied to the same folder as FMS.exe.

In WindowsXP, there is a case where a screen like the right will come out and FMS will not start. In this case, please give up :^P

There is information that FMS will start by deleting "Unimodem Full-duplex Audio Device" from device manager. However, you may going to be impossible to use a modem, and other influences will come. I don't concern about this solution, because this problem have not carried out on my system.

Interface Cable Preparation

If your TX is JR, you can use commercial monophonic audio cable to get it work. I recommend you to use registered cable, because if excessibe voltage is inputted into your PC, it will be destroyed in the worst case. However, it may not works with registered cable, because voltage falls too much to sense. In this case, you can try with non-registered cable, but please remember to do this at your own risk. If possible, I recommend you to make the cable yourself, which the resistance is set up appropriately.

If you want to use with Futaba TX, I think the easiest way is to combert form DSC cable. Please refer the figure on the left. Since a red line is not used, please process suitably not to contact to other lines. When the DSC code is used, since a radio will not be activated, a battery will hold out for more time.

Audio Input Setting

Please connect your TX to the audio input on your PC with ther cable desaribed abobe. I think microphone input or line input is appropriate. Next, please open "Recording Volume Control" dialog from "Control Panel - Sound and Multimedia - Audio - Recording - Volume". Then, please "Select" the port which you've connected your TX. If the appropreate port is not visible, please check "Show the following colume controls" from "Options - Properties".

Similarly, please open "Playback - Volume" and check "Mute" to the port you've connected your TX. If you omitted this operation, the signal from your TX will be outputted to a speaker.

Please start "Sound Recorder" or other suitable applications, and check whether the audio input is active. Then please adjust the volume, the best volume level is as shown in the figure on right. When you can't see the input even if the volume is set to maximum, please try with checking "Microphone Boost" on "Microphone Volume - Advanced" dialog. This dialog will be active when the "Options - Advance" is checked (This is a case of SoundBlaster).

Caribration

The details about joystick calibration of FMS are not described here. Just as advice, please set ATV (End Point) maximum on your TX while caribrating FMS. Then, please caribrate such as "Exp" or "Rev" on your TX as you like. By adjusting them not on the FMS but on your TX, SmartPorpo can perform the best precision.

In the case when the axis are jittered, please modify redording settings, on "Control Panel - Sound and Multimedia - Audio - Recording - Advanced" dialog. It may be improved.

First, please understand that this is a very dangerous program. Although the DLL version of SmartPropo makes only your FMS unexecutable, WDM version is possible to destroy your Windows in the worst case, because WDM version contains kernel-mode driver. Before the instllation, plese surely backup the current hardware profile, and if you don't understand this, never install this alpha release. I'll release more functional version after stable operation is checked.

Driver Instllation

First, please unzip the file you downloaded into appropreate folder.

Windows 2000

Please execite SmartPropo.exe which you unzipped. This will ask you whether install the driver or not. Click "Yes" to make next operation.

Instllation of enumerator driver starts automatically. Windows may warns you as "A digital signature is not found". Please click "Yes" to install, if you could prepared yourself. This may be the last time that you can see your desktop :^P

The system ask you to reboot (There is a case when this does not). Please obey the reboot request.

If your PC could boot successfully, please execute SmartPropo.exe again. In this time, "Game Device" driver instllation is performed automatically.

This is the last chance if you want to give up the instllation, although there is no person who give up in this timing. Please click "Yes" to install, if you could makek up your mind.

Windows 98

Please launch "Add New Hardware Wizard" form "Control Panel - Add New Hardware". Click "Next" some times, on the wizard. If wizard ask you to search for new hardware, please select "No, I want to select the wardware from the list", then click "Next".

Select "Sound, video and game controllers", then click "Next".

Click "Have Disk..." button.

Click "Browse..." and select the folder where you unzipped.

Click "OK" to install enumerator driver.

Please check the device manager. If you can find "SmartPropo Game Device" under "HIDClass", and "SmartPropo Port Enumerater" under "Sound, video and game controllers".

Settings

If SmartPropo starts successfully, the window like left figure will open. Then, click an enigmatic "Button1" without any hesitation.

Next, please set the sound card and the port whith you connected your TX, to the "Device" and "Port".

Then, adjust the volume as shown in left figure.

Open the "TX" tab, and set your TX type to "TX Type". If bars on below move as you mives sticks on your TX, it is success.

Just to make sure, please test SmartPropo on "Control Panel - Game Option - Controllers - SmartPropo Game Device - Propaties"

Get Started!

The WDM version of SmartPropo works of course with FMS, moreover, it works with any software which supports joystick in principle. A left screen is "Flight on Mt.Fuji".

Although the fatal error is not occured on my system, but I can't say it always works correctly.

When you want to close SmartPropo, please right-click the icon on task tray, then click "Exit".
