In RED the full minimum and maximum data received by the electronic components, a 270 degrees high resolution potentiometer for each axis. This is recognized as the minimum and maximum possible values for those axis.

In GREEN the calibrated values from each mechanical minimum and maximum movements per axis, which change from axis to axis. It is about 30 degrees on cyclic axis for example.

When every axis are calibrated, your inputs will be matching those value and full down collective on the Pro Flight Trainer will match full down within x-plane, but x-plane will still show the axis in RED, because it thinks that the axis could have a much higher range.

Please make sure to calibrate the controls within windows first before calibrating under x-plane.

The following clip shows X-Plane 10.45, other versions are very similar.

make sure to perform the calibration under windows first, before assigning axis under DCS, and DCS should take over the windows calibration values.

you can find a clip showing the single steps involved on our Youtube chanel or FAQ, just search for "Calibrating under Windows"

we highly recommended to calibrate the controls before starting the simulator software.

follow the steps showed in this clip: (clip showing windows 10, but valid for most windows operating systems)

while most cockpit will have a inclined low seat pilot position, you can perfectly use a standard office or living room chair to fly. the most important is that you don't have any arm rest, which would prevent a comfortable operation of collective controls.

our 4th generation of controls can be fully adjusted to fit most chair type. the following clip shows many different seating possibilities

The Pro Flight Trainer is a Plug&Play unit that works with any HID compatible system. 99% of today’s
operating system includes HID compatibility.
You can use it for every software that supports USB inputs. This also means that you could use it for
car racing games and platform games, even if it doesn’t seem to make sense ;-). Our suggestion is to
use it for Flight Simulation purposes ;-)…

Any Well-known Simulation software is supported. Including but not limited to FS series, FS2004, FSX,
FSX-SE, all Combat Simulator Series, Flight, X-plane Series, DCS Black Shark, ARMA Series, VBS Series,
Take on Helicopter, etcetera

PC Hardware/operating system requirements:
PC Pentium 200MHz or higher with USB port
Microsoft Windows® 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and
more recent edition of windows 32 and 64 bit
DirectX® 7.0 compatible.

MACMac® or iMac™ with USB port
Mac OS 10.3 Panther or more recent

Linux OS 8.2 or more recent
Input Sprocket 1.5 or more recent with USB Port

NOTE!
These requirements are for the Pro Flight Trainer. Make sure to refer to the manufacturer for the
simulation software requirements!

this is a hot chair to sit in... ... ...  you'll find plenty of recommendations and contradictory suggestions on the web because it is often a personal preference that is recommended over a neutral point of view. and it is hard to stay neutral when you have worked and used a specific setup over years...

make sure to read as much as you can on specialized forums to make your own judgment and decision before committing to any system. also, the price of software is not that high, and you can run multiple sim out of the box to get your own personal favorite, before investing in lots of add-on, sceneries, etc...

on of our staff has put some points worth considering, feel free to go through that list as a "our own 5 cents" point of view.

since the frame of the 1st and 2nd generation is based on MDF, it is not possible to upgrade the frame to a 4th or higher generation frame.

nevertheless, it is possible to use individual upgrades on those frames with self designed attachment methods.

for example, you could add a push pull pedal frame to your pro flight trainer evolution by removing the old pedals and attaching the new one on top of the old base plate.
