Default esky2 3d serial fms win 2k

Does anyone have this esky 3d transmitter working on a win2k machine...
I've tried the ppjoy / ppcom setup ...

Help would be appreciated... as I can currently hover but want to learn nose in next...

PPJOY and PPCOM definitly works with eksy2 radio. Use Zhen Hua as your radio type. In FMS use channels 5-8 for helis.

OK found a solution....

Made a parallel cable as described. at http://www.flying-model-simulator.com/ under the Use of own remote control with FMS
Connection of a remote control to a Parallel port section.

Use pins 1 and 2 as described (although pin 2 is actually the shield..)
The plug is an s-video plug (purchased at radio shack)
parts just a few dollars... Little solder some hot glue and done...

Then use ppjoy but no ppcom...

The only thing I noticed is that the channels are mixed even through the Trainer port...
Is this the same with the serial connection? works great for heli in FMS but suck on planes?

Serial connection works just fine for me.
The radio is CCPM, no way to disable it that I know of, so you won't get it to work properly in FMS in either heli or plane mode.
