Setting up the device on Windows 8.1 was easy. Drivers are not needed, when connecting USB it appears as a game controller. I was able to calibrate it on Windows with no problem, but depending on the simulator you're using, this may not be necessary as both liftoff and DRL had in-game calibration and tuning that worked very easily. I transferred the supplied software. The DRL simulator is great for a free simulator, and the $20 liftoff is very good too. I bought this to learn how to fly an ATV and I have to say that muscle memory develops pretty quickly using a real RC transmitter compared to a gamepad. I'm using this with FlySky FS-i6X and it doesn't require any special settings in Tx. Just turn it on and get started. During the liftoff, I had to adjust the controller several times because some axes were always assigned in the reverse order. After looking at the quad preview it was pretty easy to flip the axes needed. Overall I would recommend it as a good and cheap solution for sim training after a few hours of sim flight.
