SM 600 USB simulator controller setup problems

Hello, 

I just purchased an FRsky SM600 simulator controller and I am having one hell of a time getting it calibrated.  Following are my doubts:


1) To which position should i place the selector switch ?  (reflex XTR, g3 G4.5, APD, Phoenix RC)


2)what should i do with the VRA togge switch and VR(B) knob ?

3) what about the slider keys for all axes ?

when I try to calibrate yaw, its not getting detected. when i try roll, its not getting detected. when i try throttle and pitch, the circles keep vibrating. (even with the stick centred and untouched).


Is there any video on youtube that I can used for guidance ? 

Thanks in advance !!

I don't own the SM-600 myself. However, you should be able to figure out the best position for the selector switch by watching the little circles above the OK button as you go through calibration.

Using the sticks, you should be able to move four of the little circles smoothly up and down.

(The other knobs/switches on the controller you can just leave in any position).

Here is video of someone using the SM-600 with Freerider on Android: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIVpxA3QOGE

(Here is another video just as an example. It's for a different radio, but at the very end of this video you can see how the circles should ideally behave during calibration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaFzMrOo81A )

Sometimes the automatic stick detection gets it wrong. Keep an eye on the little circles as you go through the calibration. You can manually click on the circle that you see is the correct one for each stick (instead of clicking "OK")

Here are some general suggestions that often help when one channel is not recognized:
- Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/controllers connected, that might cause a conflict.
- Make sure you uninstall vJoy and Smartpropoplus if you have them installed. Their driver messes with things when connecting via USB.

Also, there was an automatic Windows 10 update that rolled out some time ago that broke the USB drivers. I don't know if you are effected, but you can find more information here:
