New models seem to have dried up

[milly0812]

I'm too busy trying to learn to fly than worry about the background or new helis. I only use the rave env tbh as it feels like my own heli lol

I don't like the stupidly long hang time tho especially for autos

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.

I was responding to the OP as a way of offering help, maybe he wants to fly crap align helis. Realism on a sim in the comfort of your non sphincter puckering dining room or wherever you fly, get real. A sim is there for learning stick movement IMHO of course. Glad you're getting the most from Realflight I'm sure it's great as is Phoenix

Oh, you quoted me so I responded to your post. If it were just about stick movements and nothing else then I fear we'd all be bored to tears. They have to have something to at least keep our interest. Just like a game. I can learn stick movements on the FMS sim, but choose not to use it.

Was only the reference to the HH release. Apologies.

I'll agree with the interest bit, I suppose if it were only a wireframe model although it might be as accurate as Phoenix or RealFlight I probably wouldn't use it. For me £80 was a lot to pay at the time but although you can't work out what it would have cost in wreckage I couldn't have learnt some orientations without it. Either that or it would have been a long road before I was comfortable.

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.

best comment so far by miles !!! well said that man.

+ 1 on the Rave ENV on Phoenix, its the most realistic IMO. Dan.

Thanks to those who pointed out that new models will fly the same anyway, who knew 😏
It would just be nice if the whole thing was freshened up a bit that's all, maybe get some interest back into it

Realflight isn't an option because I have one sim so no need for another, more expensive one as it's only for learning stick movements anyhoo

Align crap is all I fly so it would be nice to see my 550dfc on there for example,

I only posted this to see if others thought the same that the devs were sleeping,
Who knows maybe someone linked with Phoenix is reading this

If you want a new model, If I remember right there is a guidelines in phoenixrc about taking pictures of a model you prefer from different angles, burn it on dvd and send it to their address and if you get luck they might consider adding it to the program. I was about to do it ages ago for the 7hv but did not have the time and somebody on helifreak edited one nitro model and put the 7hv on it.

I've done a couple of model requests but doubt anyone is actually doing anything about it, Are the Phoenix guys not concerned about the masses jumping ship and buying RF6.5???
