Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick ( SAILI Simulator --- XTR5.5+G2+FMS Controller) has 4 axes (X, Y, Rz, Throttle)
and 4 buttons (Trigger, ThumbBtn, ThumbBtn2, TopBtn).
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

The radio is configured to send a potar in virtual channel 5. At software level channel 5 is said to be a switch.
Q: is it possible to tweak the driver so that channel 5 becomes a proportionnal axes instead of a switch ? Or is this already decided in the firmware of the dongle and engraved in marble ?
Flightgear can handle over 16 buttons. But Crrcsim can handle 8 axes, and I definitely need 5.

I was asking if that could be customised at the driver level ...
And Turnigy is the manufacturer of the radio only; not of the USB dongle ...

In case anyone else runs into this, I believe the solution is to use the tool here to reconfigure the USB dongle's firmware: http://www.mftech.de/software_en.htm
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work on Windows 8 or Wine so I haven't been able to test myself.
