recording of flight sim session...4 comments

[chisnsid]

Hi gang...

how do I post a real flight G3 recording up here so I can have some "critique"...

bear in mind - pleeeeeease - that i've clocked up a massive 1 1/2 to 2 hours on this sim so it's real basic stuff..

but it would be nice to know how things look from expert eyes
(see - i'm buttering you up already so that you'll be nice to me )

I've picked the "Impala 30 size heli" as it looks like the nearest to a raptor... can't find a t-rex type one tho... would be nice to compare them on a sim. Not real life, but relative none the less.

I never managed to get round to recording anything so can't help there but if you take a look a trextuning.com you can download a trex for G3 there - it's a bugger to fly but when you get bored and go back to the big stuff they seem much easier.

Any luck finding a club?

great stuff - thanks for the link... I'll go get it now as I'm keen to see the difference

no luck at all with finding a club - absolutely zero replies to my emails... might do a name and shame campaign - I'm fed up with it TBH.

LOL, no point naming and shaming, know most of them, I emailed every club in Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire had the same responce as you, eventually went down to see Ade before joining Alton and Dorset and Border and Sussex every time I got a positive email I said yes!!!

There is a bunch on the A23 but they always seem to be full (I think being full means no novices) and I am pretty sure there is somewhere around Billingshurst which I am looking in to.

thanks for that link - it flies rather well, a little quicker to respond than the impala 30 - i guess that's what's meant by twitchy? I think I like it!!

there is supposed to be a club near the A24/A272 crossroads (Buck barn) I think but haven't founhd them yet... I'm off to see if I can land a t-rex on the one of the tables with a marquee over it... gotta fly under the marquee, avoid the uprights and just plop it on the table top... lol....

I like this sim.

Sound advice, have a couple of lessons on his Knight. It's not that much of a long way, about 1 3/4 hours from you, may even try and get down myself this weekend as the weather looks a bit iffy for sailing.

[chisnsid]

mind you, the impala 30 fits on the table too.... wahoo....



still can't make up my mind what i like the most..... I think the 30 size is easier on the sim.

... just put "chase" mode on the camera type... it sort of trys to follow the heli, doesn't do too well, but not bad.... let's me hoon around under the marquee

what this one at the hop farm? thats not a million miles away from me....

[Leebert]

That's not too far from me either. Run by people from a Croydon club I think.

Anyone know what it is like?
