Do you mean the Real flight is not finding the DX8?
Or not connecting?

You need to tell us what you have done so far.

In the meantime, I am assuming you are running Windows 10 on a PC.

When you plug in the interface lead into a USB port did the system say found new USB device?

Follow this link from Real Flight. There are a number of reasons so you need to work through them gradually.

Hi Phil,

I am Jacob's dad.

What we have done is bought the wireless interface RF-X which Sussex Model Centre suggested. We have plugged it into the USB and attempted the binding process, but it did not work. The controller shows the orange light on which I believe means it is transmitting? On the wireless interface it has a red light which is flashing, if it successfully binds than it will go a solid red.

Any ideas?

Sorry, I should've read the post carefully. You are using a wireless interface ,not a hard wired lead. Not sure on this one but if the interface is transmitting then you need to go into the DX8 bind mode as if you were binding (pairing) a receiver.

Note: Interface is not compatible with version 6 or lower.
Oh, and ensure you are PPM mode on the Transmitter.

DX8 owners jump in here....

Edit: Have you selected from the Real flight menu Simulation (top left corner) and chose the transmitter you are using. That is a definitely a good start.
