Hi all very quick question I am using my DX8 how do I assign switches on the DX8 for things like air brakes, flaps etc.

Flight equipment is assigned in the "Advanced Channel Setup", not in the transmitter.
In the transmitter you assign switches and sticks to "channels" ("servo output").

Rgds JürgenThanks for that but I have been in Advanced channel set up. I select x,y or z axis or rotation and move switches on my transmitter but i can see nothing is happening.

Calibration at the OS is the key. calibrate your transmitter first at the os, than at RC7. other channels (elevator, rudder, gas, aileron) work fine? by the way - a picture of your hardware would help us a little bit more.

Could you clarify "OS" please.

OS - Operation System - German: Betriebssystem.

Wolfgang OK I am a Mac user how do I do "Calibrate your transmitter first at OS" you have lost me. Can you be more specific.

I am not a Mac user. But under Windows you find your attached hardware under devices and printers. I believe under mac is the devices. There your dongle should be visible. It should then be calibrated like a game controller (such as a gamepad). There you can also see how many functions are transferred (switch etc) If you have all channels (in my remote control, there are 8 channels) calibrated, then these functions should also work under RC7. If not, then you have to assign the functions such as flaps etc. a key from the keyboard.
But a DX8 with the correct dongle should already be able to transmit 8 channels. In the appendix I have you a few pictures of the procedure under windows attached.
So - first look how many functions you can calibrate under Mac. Then re-calibrate under RC7 and assign the corresponding levers and switches to the functions under advances Channel setup.

BobDen,
How are you connecting your DX8? Is it using a cable are wireless system?
I'm using a Mac with DX8, DX9 & DX6 on RC7 using a Simstick Pro which is very easy once bound to the receiver.My controller setup looks just like errorwolfi's post, but I did have to calibrate the controller and reassign switches to make everything work correctly.
Hope this helps.
