Phoenix V2 beta

[ghettotige]

Well as 10th best heli pilot in the UK . I will install the update and try it for myself.


Just Messing boys so don't rip me a new one LOL

10th placed UK 3D Champion, better than Richy Clarkie's Intermediate level something or other pilot(whatever the points say.)

Try this test, select the T-Rex 700. Get in a nice stable hover, give it full collective and don't touch the sticks........ watch your heli weave all over the sky as it climbs. Seems like it's permanently in ground effect or hover instability is turned permanently on. I know a heli won't stay in a perfectly straight climb but this is mad, it flies off left, then right and even tried to do a half loop.

Tail is also super twitchy and feels all wrong, like the gyro isn't working. I felt like it needed some dead band or expo on it as well.

It funnels weird as a result, won't sit in the funnel, keeps wandering all over the place.

I think I'll wait until you guys say it's OK. I would be happy flying the current version around anyway. It's great.

The motion sickness problem has been fixed now hasn't it? as I suffer with that quite badly, if I try and play PS2 games on our 32" widescreen I'm dashing to the crapper within ten minutes.

As the time I spend on Phoenix practicing I don't want anything spoiling my training due to puking.

Cheers.

[Ashley Davis]

yeah, it's fixed unless you switch to the 'keep ground in view mode', where it comes back with avengance.

I gotta agree with Ash mind he has described it too a T. Everything else looks great and probably far easier to setup now if your a beginner etc. Hope they sort these issues out as soon as possible.

Cheers mate, no I use it as my Stomach warrants.

[mattydred]

im not impressed - also multiplayer dont work for me so i think i will put the old version back on

[chemicalbro]

installed and had a fly around with it for half an hour.
can't say I'm that impressed.
the ground in view is just nauseating.
the shift view mode is just plain stupid and more often than not your heli almost goes off screen.
the tail seems weird and as others say it won't hold funnels.

I tried one of the new fields and it crashed.
can't get it to use all the 3rd party flying fields i have (possibly because they don't have the new panoramic previews). and it won't show recordings from the older version , although it does recognize the paint schemes I've done. (i'll try making a new recording and see what it does with the file, it may be a simple placement of files issue)
haven't tried multiplayer yet
i'll give it another try then probably put 1.05j back on.

Im finding this thread pretty pathetic to be honest.

This is a BETA, so... report the issues to the developers so they can address them and stop bitching like this software is a personal affront to your delicate natures.

After all, it is a free update.

Then why read it..

Isnt it best written here today instead of every man and their dog installing it then finding out about the problems..


BTW: Your attitude stinks.

[Ian]

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

Ade

of course Ade, when you can fly as well as Mike Williams (must note, one of the top 3D pilots in the country, and in the top 5 of pattern), i think a comment like that can be justified. inexperienced is NOT a word i would use for Mike.

Not tried Phoenix for a long time, i find that the helis have no authority and the planes were useless (before you state that i have no opinion, i am #2 for fixed wing freestyle aerobatics in the country) in all the updates that i used previous to V2. i will try V2 when i can, but i dont think slating the helpers out is going to fix any issues

[3DJIM]

Vibe/synergy, Every time you releae an update you know your gonna be in the hot seat for a while, so just take it like a man!!!!. lol

[Ashley Davis]

my point for putting the info on here is because Phoenix read this forum and will see the comments. It's not pathetic whining, it's providing feedback and seeing if their is concurrence amongst peers (ie. I'm not the only one seeing this problem). So 'Vibe' please wind your neck in whilst we discuss the beta, if you don't agree with what's being said feel free to offer your own opinion rather than insulting the people working through it to find the issues.

if you don't agree with what's being said feel free to offer your own opinion rather than insulting the people working through it to find the issues.

but of course insulting people who could change it is allowed
