Phoenix V2 beta

[Ashley Davis]

Been playing 10 minutes and had to stop because the new screen movement / perspective gave me motion sickness and I thought I was going to be very very ill.

LOL, well it's all done and installed. I'll have to wait though as my Tx is boxed to go back to Horizon again as its not allowing me to save/modify profiles.

It does look good but we will see if anyone else has the motion sickness problem.

I used to get that when playing first person shooters but I found that a larger screen and much higher resolutions sorted that. Dell 2407 running at 1900x1200.

It is a bit of an extream solution though....

Have downloaded it but not installed as yet due to comments like this.

Will leave it until the bugs are sorted out (hence the Beta) which won't be long knowing Phoenix.

i happened to still be up last night when this came online... the view then was horrid. now they are back to the old viewing style but im not seeing any real improvements are funnels weird. still no crack stuff either.

i think that the fixed wing physics are actually worse, its ok in some areas but in others its just wrong and the lift in the slope soaring is wrong.

guess thats what you get for getting a new inexperienced development team in!!

I thought you guys at DMHC were the development team! What happened?

I downloaded it at 8.00am this morning, installed it and had a fly round for half an hour.

New flying sites are good but is that just because they are new!!

Auto's with the T-rex 600 are now so easy I can do them with my eyes closed.

Had a few issues with the auto update feature but it seemed to rectify itself.

Generally looks a bit nicer but maybe they should have released it as 1.05k as can't see any obvious massive improvements yet but only had 30 mins with it so far.

Not noticed any motion sickness problems though, the view seems the same as before in the default install setting but there are a few new options like keeping the ground in view which i treid briefly.

Running ok on Vista Ultimate 32bit.

Only real improvement I can see is the way the heli lands. Instead of crashing on anything other than a perfect landing, it will bounce a little now. Sliding autos now possible too.
Apart from that, not impressed.
I had to go into the advanced calibration menu just to get the pitch control to work on my DX7.
It was asigned to the gear switch! despite calibrating many times.

so did we until sombody over on 3drc posted that they were helping phoenix sort the fixed wing physics a few months back. I feel sorry for the new guys.

I would like to point out that I had nothing to do with the fixed wing changes in this patch, So please don't try to tar and feather me over it!!!!!!

Guess I'll be going back to AFPD for planks

I'm just re-downloading as it seems the 'motion sickness edition' has been pulled and replaced with the old style view.

[HiltonSteve]

Had same problem with pitch control setting and DX7, ran through calibration a few times myself before giving up and doing a manual overide in the advanced menu! Need to switch the channels round after which it works fine.

Have fixed the sickness problem,I went into display settings and changed the resolution to 1024x768 (75Hz)
