What to do?

AccuRC :-)

Ade is there a trial version so I could try it out with my sim stick pro?

[DaveJones]

Accurc is available on the Steam gaming platform, which is you haven't used it before is a perfectly legit service aimed at gamers allowing you to buy and download software direct to you PC. There is a demo available on steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/495290/AccuRC_2/).

Not sure what the limitations of the demo version are.

The Demo allows five minutes of flight without the option to change models or sites as far as I can tell. I was actually quite impressed and will buy it! I just need to update my PC to cope with the graphics (my PC is 10 years old).

Yeah, 5 minutes of pretty-much full-function play with a Logo 700 at one site, then you have restart the game. I was able to try it for sufficiently long to know it would be okay with my DX7 and so I went ahead and bought it.

I looked everywhere last night inc googling it and could not find one... So I have just spoken with Midland about sim stick pro compatibility and asked if there was a demo version? They said no there wasn't, Then told them I would order via web/PayPal straight away which I did only to find the demo version on steam isn't that just typical.....

[carpman]

I've no idea what's wrong, I cant get any input on the computer from simstick, it has paired with the DX8 via a lemon rxThats as far as I've got was hoping to have a little fly on the sim tonight. This is starting to get to be a bigger investment than I really wanted to lay out Helis, batteries, new sim that I cant even use at the mo.

[Si Goodchild]

Sorry to hear that. I grabbed a Spektruk WS2000 from Kings Lynn models and it worked straight out of the box.

Latest news, heli turned up a nearly week ago now, and yes I have flown a couple of batteries doing a bit of hover practice (dumb thumbs). I had to buy the align lead to connect the controller to the sim, all works ok.
Now to the serious stuff Accurc models is there anywhere that you can get extra models? (I'm looking for the blade 230s v2 in particular.)
If not what would I need to do to create/adjust a current model to act as close to it as possible, I have tried the Blade 130 but it is as twitchy as hell, I even tried switching over to my blade 230 model on DX8 didn't seem to make a difference so I don't know if adjusting the expo on DX8 makes any difference (not tried it yet).
AS it stands currently I don't like Accurc for actual flying but in its defence only tried a few times and got of to a bad start with connection issues, graphics look good.

Phoenix is now dead and gone now threw it out the other day after finding it will no longer work on either my laptop or desktop which is a shame but hey ho life goes on...

Sorry for the ADD-on but just saw a post saying @Ade_Law works for ACCU RC.
So the above question is really for ADE_Law

If you still have the dongle, Phoenix is still supported here....https://www.rc-thoughts.com/phoenix-sim/

I still had my original disc, it would install then freeze when you start at the language selection (did this on both laptop and desktop) tried in multiple windows compatibility modes all with the same result, I even tried hard-wired and wireless via simstick didn't make any difference.

If you want to pursue the Phoenix, if you go to the link and download the main 5.5 dvd to start with then you have to follow the updates to you get to ver 6.....

Just for the hell of it I just rescued the leads from the garbage..

[carpman]

And it all works again if I hardwire, sort off if I try to go wireless using the phoenix lead plugged into simstick and bound with 6ch lemon RX my throttle has 2 positions on and off, so it just means I have to hardwire for the mo.

I know I'm returning after a very long absence, I was looking over the Blade 230s setting in the manual and I was confused by the D/R and Expo settings so to refresh the grey matter I googled it... After a little refresher Expo + decreases sensitivity and Expo - increases sensitivity on stick centres.
Now, this is where I'm getting confused D/R, D/R's limit servo throw/speed of throw/response I think, if that statement is correct then surely the D/r's on the pic must be wrong.
Position 0 stability mode D/r 100/100
Position 1 agility mode D/r 100/100
Position 3 3D mode D/r 75/75
Would you not want it less responsive in P0 and more responsive in P3? Also wouldn't the expo change over the 3 modes
