Setting up DX6i on Phoenix

[t4ttyt3ddy]

I use the CX2 transmitter for Phoenix and the CX2 on the Sim is sluggish for me too. could just be the model i guess

I'll post the edits I did, she's a bit more lively now. Boggy gave me some and I'm grateful to him but they didn't make a lot of difference, it did give me a start though in my own edits.

I just calibrated mine as a DX6i and fine, just make sure nothing is reversed otherwise you could run into issues. And as Rob said, make sure the swash is a single servo 90 degree.

BCX2 settings

Okay here goes.

Physical tab: pitch, yaw and roll inertia to 0.01
Fine tuning: lift 125, pitch and yaw to 150 each
Main Rotor: governor rotor speed to 2500, hovering stability to 75%
Tail Rotor: Tail rotor 8000 Rpm, max pirouette 1000

I know some of this seems exhorbitant, but even then it seems to handle a bit sluggishly compared to my real life CX2. The tail response is much closer however.

Sorry, plus heading hold gyro, head driven on the tail rotor tab.

What cable would I need to connect the DX6i to the PC, please?

The cable and dongle that comes with Phoenix is all you need
PS. You cannot buy the cable/dongle on its own. It only comes as a package with the software.

He probably has. The op was nearly 3 years ago!

Probably useful for new beginners though.

Dunno if this will be of assistance.
Use the search button and look for........'Setting up the DX6i in phoenix for full 6 channel functionality'
It was posted by tiddler a while back.

Put up a 'Wanted ad' for the dongle in the Forum.
I got one from another member that way.
You might be lucky too ............ChickenHawk out

Hi. I know What you mean.

I have looked at all the options.

But I have ordered the Software and the bits from Fast Lad Performance. It was a bit expensive but hopefully the fun I will have and what I will learn will help pay it off.

I have to get it right .

Hello.

It's my second day with the Phoenix Sim. The only thing I have flown in reality is a Syma 107. I have tried many of the Helis on it, It is so much fun. Thank god I did not try and fly the Blade 400 on the field in real, It would have been over in a split second.

Instead I have a CX3 so I am practising on the CX2 on Phoenix. I changed the weather settings to gust and it was funny how the CX2 was just getting blown away without even lifting off.

I think I have managed to get most of the settings right, althought the throttle could be steeper for my liking. Are the flip switchs meant to work with the software, as mine dont. I am just getting used to it all and then I will try and fine tune some of the settings.

Yep Phoenix is defiantly an eye opener when learning to fly helis. But keep practising and it'll come
To start with I would suggest trying the Easy-fly 50 under Helicopters>> Trainer, as this is already set up nice and docile.

As for setting up tour transmitter for Phoenix, this thread should help http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/phoeni...tionality.html
