Hi, before I purchase Heli-x, I Would like the cable, but don't know which one or where to buy it. I have looked, but nothing in stock. Are these really that specialized? As in tittle, I have a SPECKTRUM DX6i on an iMac 27" computer running Yosemite ( demo seems ok on this system).thanks.
Ps, I'm in Canada/USA.

Received cable after waiting a month, Mac recognizes the DX6i inputs but NOT the rudder, now what?

You can try different versions off the jinput lib. Look at the readme file:
Depending on the hardware and the operating system you
use, different version of the jinput.jar might be helpful.
Our experiences:
- On Wind32&64: jinput-b29.jar should work
- On Linux: jinput-b1.jar should be the best
- On Mac: jinput-b1.jar or jinput-b8.jar might be of use.
If you have problems, try the different versions by
renaming them.
Let me know about your experience.

When I look in the Heli X files I see the readme file and also jinput-b1.jar, jinput-b8.jar, jinput-b29 & jinput.jar in the file list. Do I rename one of these and then just go back to Heli x and retry it?
Or do I have to move one of them some place else?? I'm not sure if I'm currently using one of these files to run the sim because I don't know where to look. How do I know what files are currently being used? Sorry, I'm new to working with computer files. Than you.
