RC8 (Mac) does not start with Spektrum Wireless Simulation Dongle SPMWS1000 attached

    RC8 (Mac version) will not start with SPMWS1000 already plugged into USB port. However, after starting RC8 without SPMWS1000 being plugged-in you can attach the SPMWS1000 and use it without problem.

    Any ideas about this ?

    I just noticed this post. My Spektrum SPMWS1000 USB dongle has not been unplugged in a couple years. I upgraded from RC7 to RC8 with no problem.

    Is the dongle bound to your transmitter?

    I believe you can plug in after starting. Did it once with RC7.

    Lots of stick-time on the sim and in the air. Love building foam board planes. Wish the tools were here to build for the SIM.

    After binding, how do you configure the Spectrum? What is the step by step procedure. I can't successfully perform the "move every stick, slider, and switch" routine. I always get a "no movement detected in (one of the switches)"? Then the program asks if I want to correct or accept the default setting. Neither approach leads to a successful transmitter to software configuration .
