I need help with my Phoenix USB cord

  • Since it seems the staff at Ikarus want to remain silent, I am looking to the community for help.
    According to their RC 7 features page, the program is supposed to work with the P h o e n i x RC USB cable and is really the only reason I chose to buy the download version. So far it has failed to recognize the cable or the cable in combination with one of my transmitters. I have tried my Spektrum DX6i and DX8 as well as my Turnigy 9XR. Does anyone know how to get it to recognize it? :mad::confused:

    I have Windows 7 64-bit SP1, I have tried moving the cable to different USB ports and I have tested that the cable does work on these port by using them in P h o e n i x RC

    I am happy to see that you updated the misleading information, so that others will not be mislead like I was. I have attempted to contact IKARUS twice, before posting here, at http://www.ikarus.net/support-kontakt/?lang=en but so far I have not gotten a response.
    Since you seem to be the only representative who has taken the time to communicate with me about this problem, I thank you but I still have a problem and I would like it resolved in an amicable manor. I would normally do this privately but it seems that the only way I can talk to you is via a public forum.

    I purchased the program, in good faith, after reading that it would work with the Phoenix cable, knowing that in the past the cable wouldn't work with other simulators. I assumed you discovered a way to make it work, since it was a known issue in the hobby community, which your company is highly involved in.
    So where does this leave me? I purchased your program because I was excited that I wouldn't need to buy a different cable and now it seems that I was mislead and either I have to buy an additional cable, which of course you sell for $35, or be face with the fact that I just wasted $139 for software I cannot use.
    Is IKARUS willing to take care of this mistake? Will you send me a cable so I can use the simulator the way it was intended?

  • I'm feeling a big discount coming on, or at least the offer of a free hardware controller. Something tells me this won't happen though. They've got your money sucker - and are laughing it up.

    Forum-goers beware: Ikarus support sucks. You get ignored and must go cap-in-hand to a forum moderator. Lesson learned.

    I guess you were wrong.
