like you are using a wired connection
Ordered this usb dongle for $15 just to check out if it works for my simulator. For that price, you really cannot go wrong, so I took the chance. I use the NEXT helicopter/multirotor/fixed wing simulator for the Mac. It does work. No drivers needed. Just plug in, turn your transmitter on and bind. It instantly bound on my Spektrum DX9. With the NEXT simulator, it however does not work correctly the first time, you have to go into the transmitter settings first and find the mode and set that works correctly for your transmitter. It first thought my transmitter was mode 1. I had to go into the settings and correct that. After finding the correct setting, you have to calibrate your transmitter, like you are using a wired connection. It is very important to disable the channels that you do not use in the software/transmitter settings. Otherwise the controls go haywire. Also, when starting the software, make sure that the dongle is unplugged. Start the software, turn on your transmitter then plug the usb dongle in. I do this even when using the wired usb connector to my transmitter. It might be a software issue.Other than that, this is an awesome training tool! For the price, it is great!

Works great with DX9 and RF8
Works perfectly with my DX9. Here's a hint, press the button on the side then push it into the USB slot. It'll start blinking. If you push it into the slot first and then push the button the side it may not blink. After it starts blinking bind your radio... Be sure to take a few steps away from your laptop before binding. If you're too close it won't bind. I have Realflight 8 and a Spektrum DX9 and it works perfectly. Of course, figuring out the channel assignments on Realflight vs the DX9 is a separate issue which take a little time to decipher. But, this dongle does definitely work perfectly.

Bound easily to my Spektrum DX6e as a new model
Exactly what I was looking for. Bound easily to my Spektrum DX6e as a new model.Shipped in a small plastic bag with no documentation or instructions. To bind, you need to (Windows 10):1. Plug in to your PC and load the drivers2. Unplug from your PC3. Plug in again, this time holding the bind button4. Follow your receiver's bind procedure. Mine failed the first time, but worked the second, and I have not had any dropout issues.For your FPV types, I've gotten this to work with DRL, Freerider, and LiftOff. I have not been able to get it to work with HotProps. It will configure, and Hotprops will recognize it as a compatible USB input device, but when the game loads, it is unresponsive to the controller. This may or may not be a compatibility issue with the dongle, so your results may vary.

Binds easy.
I have the Orange RX transmitter, they both bind together esay. I use it with Clearview flight simulator works fantastic. It could have come with instructions but it doesn't take long to find the bind button on the side. Hold the button and plug it in to a USB port on your computer, turn on and bind your radio.

Extremely mediocre
Binds to DX8 and works (kinda) with AccuRC.Problems:Have to unplug and reinsert every time you want to use it.Cuts out for about two seconds at random intervals, sometimes every 10 seconds, some times every couple minutes.This is VERY frustrating when trying to use the sim as a training tool. Seems pretty common with a google search.Other thoughts:Price is reasonable. No reason to pay $40 for a $3 piece of electronics...if it works.

This adapter works very well!
There should be some documentation with the adapater rather than having to search for how to use it on the Internet!

Not compatible with Real Flight V7 Simulator
Did not work with my Real Flight V7 software as some reviewers had said. It did bind with the Spektrum Dx9 transmitter as promised. Not much good if my software won't work with it.

More Time waisted trying to contact support
Took a reboot to get the drivers installed correctly on my Mac ProWorks for simulations like Liftoff but shuts off
