What instead of Phoenix

[David Drew]

Getting back into RC but seems Phoenix are no longer around.

What's the latest favourite?

I have both Spektrum and Futaba Tx but I used to run Phoenix on the Spektrum DX6i.

Thanks

Hi David, welcome back!

www.accurc.com is awesome (but apparently i would say that as i work for them, or i work for them because its awesome?)

spektrum do a wireless dongle now called the ws1000 i think they just released a new one too called the ws2000 meaning you can sim without being constrained by a cable

I don't work for AccuRC, but I have owned it since 2014. It is awesome. It wasn't so awesome back in 2014, but it is now.

It's the only sim I'm interested in using. Other sims just feel false to me now.

Bonus is it's also the cheapest sim on the market. Even cheaper than Heli-X.

[David Drew]

Thanks lads.

I don't mind a cable but I'm assuming that I need one specific to Accu and the Tx?

If I use the Futaba at least I'm using my 'normal' tx but I can't see a cable for it.

Assuming no cable for the Futaba is this the right one for a DX6i ?

For dongles, the short answer is anything but the phoenix/interlink dongle should work.

The long answer is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...GQXe6wHI/edit#

Thanks.
I have the Phoenix cable/dongle thingy, so I guess it won't work.

Oh well, a new dongle won't break the bank

I like NeXT https://next-sim.cgm-online.com/index_e.html

If you still want to use Pheonix you can get latest (5.5) from here and still use your dongle for free....

Any of the generic dongles will work with futaba and your 6i but personally I would spend the money on the ws1000 wireless dongle for the dx6i

unless you didnt upgrade from v1 in 2017 as I just found out

I have version 1, how do I upgrade?

We offered AccuRC 2 as a free upgrade all the way back in 2017 with the intention to migrate our loyal user base. If you didn’t upgrade in 2017, then unfortunately you are going to need to head to our web store and purchase AccuRC 2 there, due to the fact we are running on Steam now we have been able to greatly reduce the price compared to other simulators.

well not the first thing that I bought in support that didnt turn out to be the right thing - does anyone need a second dongle?

[David Drew]

Just reloaded Phoenix to be going on with.

If I get back into it then Accu it is.

Thanks for the info all.

Just ordered accu Rc thought i'd give it a go

[David Drew]

Why, Oh why do I get bored with a sim so quickly?

I know it's good training but I can't last long on one.

Is it because there is no risk. Or is it because it's not real?

Help me please!!!
