I'm pretty sure I've seen people ask this question in various places: How do I connect my FrSky Taranis X9/QX7 to a simulator?
Most solutions involve using the trainer port, but I found out that FrSky has a product to address this. It's called the XSR-SIM USB dongle.

I bought mine from Aloft Hobbies for $20

The way this worked for me (for planes anyway) is that you create a basic 4-channel plane in your radio and don't do any other setup. Next, you bind the USB dongle to your radio the same way you would bind a receiver.
Next, boot up your preferred sim, in my case I tried this with RC Desk Pilot. RC Desk Pilot recognized the USB dongle immediately in settings. I had to change some of the channel designations and invert a couple channels but I did all of this INSIDE THE SIM.
After that, I was able to fly planes in the sim without issue using my QX7. Took me about 5 minutes to setup!.
