Upgraded to Ver 6 - Trouble trying to get controller to work

I upgraded to version 6. I still have version 5 loaded and it works fine.
When I set up controller and it starts it sounds like the heli motor or engine is sputtering and I have no collective.
I tried several times to set up controller. Also tried different controller that has previously worked. I do not have the same outcome each time I set it up. It seems to have control over elevator, rudder, sometimes roll. Oother times pitch is the issue.
Ver 5 still works and I also have another sim for Mac OS X and it still works fine.
I have the Yosemite version. I believe I have the correct Java installed.
Has anyone else run into a similar issue.

Hi!
I had just the same trouble and got somewhat desperate: Oh no! Not right from the start. But then I had this idea: What if I just copied my saved configuration and used that one? Tried and ... worked!
So if you haven't done already: Just start v5, save the controller config to a file. Close v5 and go to v6 and open that file and hopefully you're done as well.
Good luck!

Thanks so much for the advice.
I got it to work on advice from HeliFreak forum,
"Go into global settings, then input system. Switch to another .jar.
Restart heli-x and try again."
This was the comment and this also worked. I hope someone needing help else sees both these solutions and can get one to work.
Again, Thanks for you comment.

I had the same problem - could not configure the controller.
I have tried both suggestions from above posts.
Suggestion 1: Go to Global Setting, select Input System and change to another jar file
Did not work for me. There were 3 another .jar files,tried all of them with no success.
Suggestion 2: Copy the configuration file from Heli-X5
This worked for me.
copied files:
Library/HELI-X5/files/controller/Config1.xml
Library/HELI-X5/files/controller/PPM.xml
into: Library/HELI-X6/files/controller/
And then the Helix-6 worked.
Hope it might help

I think the X6 transmitter configurator is broken.
Copying the X5 controller xml file worked for me too. Thanks!
Now, I just wish a way to make the idle up switch work as an idle up switch (on a dx9).

Yeah, I would like to try that, too. I just installed & licensed V6 and have no older Version.
Thanks for the help!

Since a week the download is rev 1614. This should have solved the issue.

I'm excited to try, because I still use ver 5 because of controller issues with ver 6
But rev. 6.0.1612 says it is up to date. So I'm stuck.
Are you saying we should install the whole stuff from scratch to get to 1614?
