It could be a driver issue. Try updating the controller driver.
A video won't reveal much. Someone needs to be there personally and examine the setup. Do try it on another PC with Windows 7 or XP.

Microsoft dropped retained mode rendering from Directx with Windows Vista.. You need to download d3drm.dll from here,

http://www.microflight.com/s.nl/ctype.KB/it.I/id.1390/KB.1034/.f

and put it in C:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\syswow64 (on a 64 bit system).

PS: if you have an Nvidia graphics card, textures will not display so turn them off...

the dongle which I have has a joint which is sealed with heat shrink between the dongle and the 3.5mm jack.
Can the problem be with the dongle.

Nitesh,

There is another route called "Fly it in the Ground" which is much better than this. all that you need to do is to design a pusher model that can bear the crash to an extent. try this, its much better.

ok so i got it installed the fms one not the generic.
winscope doesn't show any movement but ppm audio works very well.
Also in FMS calibration the blue bars move by themselves.

the problem was with the cable rcforall folks were kind enough to give a replacement.
It's working perfectly

I just checked the simulator cable that came with my E-Sky radio. It has a completely different pin configuration compared to my Sanwa SD 5G output even though they use the same connector.

The Sanwa connector has o/p as shown in the pic below while the sim cable has gnd on outer ring and signal on the gnd pin.

what do you say about this

Well, Windows 7 shows a PPM controller icon even with the wrong wiring. I faced the same problem this morning. The controller was being detected but there were no stick movements. The problem was solved after rewiring the PPM to USB dongle.
