- Step 2: Download and save to your desktop the USB Interface Firmware
Updater. There are two versions. The first one is recommended and
described further below:
- User interface version (recommended): FirmwareUpdaterUI-2048.exe
- Command line version (quickest way): FirmwareUpdaterCMD-2048.exe
- Step 3: Shutdown FS One V2 if you are running it. Close
all other applications.
- Step 4: Disconnect your FS One V2 USB interface. Then reconnect
your FS One V2 USB Interface to your computer and wait for
the USB connection sound (i.e. for it to register on your
system).
- Step 5: Run the Firmware Updater program (double-click on it from
the desktop). Follow the onscreen prompts (see below). When the
interface is detected, click 'Update' and wait for the program to
indicate that the update was successful. Depending on your system,
the process could take a few minutes to finish.
If the yellow LED light is flashing twice per second, the firmware
installed successfully. If this is not happening, then download
and run the command line version (item 2 above).
- Step 6 (optional): After following all the steps, you can confirm the update by
running the Game Controllers app from the Windows Control
Panel. The new name will be "FS One v2 2048".
- Step 7: Start FS One V2. It will automatically show the new
interface name "FS One v2 2048". Before flying, calibrate your
controller.
- Note: If you reinstall FS One V2 from
the original 2.0 DVD, you must download and install
the latest FS One V2 update (ver
2.0.9 (r1170)
) so that FS One "sees"
the 2048-resolution interface firmware. To download the latest
