New models seem to have dried up

[MarkG_R1]

Anyone else feeling like the developers have lost interest?

Not much in the way of new models for a while now, the entire Align range could do with updating at least, there isn't one dfc model on there

'Cough' RealFlight 'Cough'

Must admit I'm close to changing to RealFlight.

True, when I bought Phoenix I would very regularely have an online update waiting, now nothing for a long while....
guess their investment on the 3D maps didn't pay the bills and they are slowing down a bit to catch up....I hope so!

I have Phoenix and now just got Real Flight G6.5 with heli pack. Loving the new Real Flight.

Cough cough. Realflight. Cough.

Everyone's got a really bad cold

*Cough* RealFlight *cough*

They're probably just waiting for Blade to release a few more lemons models

[heathy]

Lol, there's loads of the latest Helis on realflight, and many more available for free from the knife edge swap shop forum.

I have both too, and just got realflight. Phoenix only release HH Helis now HH owns the company. Shame as Phoenix were a independent British firm that were always bringing new Helis out.

Just a couple of points worth raising here...
Horizon don't own the company - they are the distributor of the product.
Horizon have been the distributor for over a year now, and while there haven't been many new releases for some time, there have been a few that were not Horizon models in that timeframe.

I suspect they are busy working on a new version of the software - but who knows!
Cheers,
Rob

I see. Still doesn't detract from Phoenix only releasing HH blade micro helis. No one wants to fly them.

Who gives a S+++? A Sim is a Sim is a Sim. Most models fly the same or can do. It's just a different look and colour scheme. Baaaaaaaaa Realshi+e.

They have released the Whiplash and the G4 this year, admittedly no DFC models. But Ben Britten has his models flying exactly as in real life and I'm sure he flys DFC so give him a pm and I'm sure he'd share his settings. Whilst flying on the sim I'm sure you're not looking at the design of the head

[KevDavies]

LOL!! You tell em John!!

If realflight wasnt a billion quid id get it! As it is Phoenix cost me nearly £80 and does what I need. Yeah some newer helis would be nice. But tbh flying diff models in a sim doesnt mean anything anyway. I just use one or two models, adjusted to my liking and use the sim for its primary purpose. Which is to train myself to fly new moves without smashing my real helis to bits.

I think I might be doing it wrong tho cos I crash lots LOL

I couldn't give a rats ass about Crap align models anyway and your right, I don't look at the head while flying. What I do look at though are the graphics, realism and the ability to fly lots of different models. Phoenix got boring for me so I didn't use it. This on the other hand has me sim'ing again.
