0 Hi there,
I'm trying to connect my Connecting Flysky Fs-T6 to a mac computer to use with a simulator (Velocidrone) but it's not recognised. I'm using an "All in one simulator" cable with the following options: 1. PhoenixRC, 2. AeroFly, 3. G4/G5/G6, 4. XTR/FMS, 5. VRC.
Some sites mention the need to install some "SB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs", which I have done as well to no avail.
I'm wondering if anybody has encountered the same problem?
Thanks!

12 I have used what I think is the same cable to get the DJI FPV radio to work on my mac. I didn't have to install anything. It just worked in Liftoff and the Curry Kitten FPV Simulator. All I had to do was calibrate it in the sim.
Another option would be to use a receiver wired to a flight controller connected via USB to your computer and sim that way.

0 Sadly, I've been unable to get either Windows or Mac to recognise the transmitter. That work around with the flight controller sounds promising, thanks a lot! I will give it a try.

0 So I've managed to connect the transmitter to my Mac using Betaflight. I plug my flight controller (Crazybee F4 FS) into the computer, open up Betaflight and can see transmitter input in real time. I then open Velocidrone and I can see the flight controller in the “Controllers” menu. It doesn’t seem to detect movement though. I have also tried closing the Betaflight serial connection just in case it was interfering with this to no avail.
This seems so close to work : )

0 This is really annoying, I have the Fatshark radio and it wouldn’t connect to my Mac either. I also tried it with the video from YouTube Utilising my FC and had similar issue to you!
Fat shark said their software is Windows based. So I have to use the missus’ laptop now and only freerider will work with her spec unfortunately (although I actually really like it)!
Hoping my new radio for my 5” quad project works with Mac software when I come to buy it.
Best of luck though pal, hope you get sorted!

0 Thanks Liam!
In the end I did't manage to get it to work, but I'm using a Taranis QX7 now and it works like a charm out of the box.
