Phoenix Question ?

[bubbabaja199]

hi guy's/girl's.
i've just got into flying heli's after getting bored of racing rc cars. i have been using my cx2 indoors or should i say i've been trying too i can get it to hover and do a few moves but now i have a trex 450 se v2 and i thought it would be a good idea to get a good sim to learn on and after reading a load of great info on this forum i think its gonna be phoenix that i buy now my question is will i get everything i need with the disc like the lead to hook it up to my pc and it does it work ok with vista ? oh and what type of lead do i need to use my dx6i on it. great forum by the way i've found it very usefull with some great info that i needed to help me chose the right heli so top work guy's and thanks for reading this

If you buy Phoenix, it will work fine with Vista, and the lead supplied with it will fit directly into you DX6i. Just load the software, download the updates and additional models and your away. As long as you have a decent graphics card, then your good to go mate.

The best purchase you will ever make..

I see so many people coming on to these forums wanting to fly helicopters and not wanting to buy a decent sim to practice on.

Your post makes a refeshing change with the correct attitude.

Good luck

I was in precisely the same situation as you up until yesterday mate. The lead you get with Phoenix fits straight in to a Dx6i. No need to specify one of the added cost optional leads.

And it will pay for itself when you have a few flights and crash damage is minimal or even nonexistant. At least you will learn more quickly so will have less crashes. Only one thing I would say, as you will be coming from the CX2 as I did, you will need to watch your throttle control, remember it also does pitch, so make sure your negative pitch on your Rex is minimal, they don't half go down otherwise. You will really only be using the top half of that control. So when it gets away (and it will unless you're lucky to have a good teacher as I was) you will forget and drop the throttle lever, only to slam the heli into the ground, which will break it.
