Sorry about the off-topic.....its a long story.

Here's a new one (at least I've never seen it posted).....
This is the reverse-engineered wireing/component schematic for the GP RealFlight simulator TX that connects to the joystick port. I built mine with an old TX shell. Parts were cheap, project was fun.

To start....
*...You need an old (gutted) 2-stick, 4ch TXmtr.

*...4 small 500Kohm POTs (variable resistors) with a shaft size that is compatible with your gutted TX. Radio shack has the most commonly used size.

*...A 15 pin male joystick connector (I got mine off an old $3 joystick).

All position references to controller arm movement are looking forward towards the face of the Xmtr, not from back.
All installed POTS are centered (not turned to left or right) when neutral.
The connector-pin numbers are labled (#) on the schematic. (NC) means NO CONNECTION.

Here is a guide to the 15-pin connector (looking forward)
