Are you sure you have selected the "radio:" entry for connecting and are connected (see the description by zak again)? If you click on the "Console" tab, what does it say in there when you have your CF connected?
I definitely selected the "radio" option and then after Ican move the CF around and the horizon responds. Under Input devices/mappings/xbox360_mode1 and I have even tried the other xbox one. Can anyone please help me as I sit there day after day wishing I could fly the CF.
Lastly, I see the XBox 360 controller circle is flashing all four parts of the circle at the same time. I am making an assumption that this means something is not right. From what I have read on the internet that means it is not synced to the xbox game console but since I have a Macbook Pro and not a console then their troubleshooting doesn't help me.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? The USB part for the Xbox 360 is a solid green.

This means you're connected to the CF just fine then.

In a previous post you said you can see the thrust move when using the xbox 360 controller. Is that still the case?
I've read some computer drivers don't properly control the circle of LED's but the driver still works fine other then that.
Can you post a picture of your soldering of the motor wires? If you get a response (horizon) from the CF and thrust response from the controller then the issue has something to do with hardware.

I did recall I was able to get a response but the Xbox controller continuously flashes green. There must be something off with that?
Here is a picture of my dust collecting CF
Lastly, I literally just got the CF to respond somehow to my mouse. When I pushed my mouse up the thrust went up and down accordingly. I disabled something and was able to stop the mouse from controlling the CF. Back to square one again but at least I know there is potential maybe in the future.....
I went into the "configure input device" and Input device is set as Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver" I then clicked detect on thrust etc and everytime I moved anything on my controller I was able to get a reaction. So this means that the controller is working too. The CF is working with USB and the configure option is working with the Xbox controller.... I just cant get the fudging two to connect...

Do the motors spin at all?
Sorry I tried my best with my cell phone. Yes all the motors spin and the CF tries to fly when I push my mouse up in the mode (forget what I call, please check previous notes).
Can ANYONE please help me with figuring out how to make the CF respond to the Xbox controller. PLEASE!
I have spent countless hours trying to go through the virtual box and figure out how to make the settings work but to no avail. I really am at a complete loss how this is so complicated and how there are no answers.
I feel at this point I might have to sell my CF =(. I really wanted to fly this so bad. I waited for months to receive my CF and I went out and bought an Xbox Controller. I put the CF together with the video and the Virtual box is responding to the Xbox Controller. The CF is responding to the Virtual box but I cannot get the Xbox to control the CF. Someone must know something.
I guess with this failure after tomorrow I will have to sell my CF. I wish I could use it...
