This Phoenix thing is addictive!!!

I have recently bought a Blade CX2 with Phoenix and find the Blade a lot easier on the sim than in real life (even with the tweak). I guess I'm flying the real thing in a much smaller space and it costs when you crash!!

So my question to all you experts - the CX2 is really too easy on the sim so I've started flying some CP helis - which is regarded as the best for learning CP? they seem to range from almost impossible to completely impossible, but I think that's probably the piloting

My second question - if the CX2 is much easier on the sim, does this apply to the CP helis too?

sadly no it doesn't! the cx2 on the sim is i believe delibratley made easy to fly to help first timers get to grips with the hobby.
if your finding the other heli's too dificult it may be you just need to run through the advanced calibration. i found with the cx2 controler this was neccesary quite often

the cp heli's on phoenix are pretty close to the real things

I found them near impossible at first too, then one day it suddenly all came together, try the little Eurocopter too, that things as twitchy as a mouse surrounded by cats.

Speaking of which, that leads me to a question of my own, did they dumb the helis down after one of the patches? Everything seems quite tame now considering how it used to be, even the HAC Tiger, that thing used to really be twitchy as I've just pointed out, I know the scales are harder to fly because they seem stupid now to what they used to be, the tails don't come round like they did, and the same for the coax's. Far too tame now on the sim. I know my CX2 has a much better piro rate than the sim would suggest, and it used to be much better on the sim too.
