Phoenix v2 2.00 Beta C

[Tim Procter]

Just downloaded it and after a quick test.....

FANTASTIC..

Thank you Phoenix.

[HiroboFreak]

Hmmmmm,

Mine is crashing after changing sceneries & then reverting back to the "Choose Language" part of the install.

Hopefully Phoenix is checking this thread.

I've had a chance to play with 1,05c for a few hours now. (it was releases approx 0400 gmt)

Although it doesnt say so in the new list of updates, Im almost certain there was an update to the heli physics. I forgot to shoot a bunch of auto's prior to posting this, so I won't comment.

But,

I feel that the "NEW" physics are those of 1,05j reimplemented into 2,0c!
The "new" physics feel different that 2,0b and certainly without a doubt different than 2,0a

Someone else give it a try and tell me what you think. Or is it all just in my head?


I still found a number of glitches and errors in 2,0c which I have reported to Phoenix support, most of which I discovered in both 2,0a and 2,0b, but neglected to report to earlier.

it does seem like 2c is back to 1.05j tail is still a little different, nothing 15% expo in the radio didnt fix tho.

i still dont get what mike williams is on about with the fixed wing physics. I had a string of PMs on 3drc.info and hes refusing to tell me whats better about it.

maybe somebody could tell me what about the FW physics are better because im just not seeing it!

[chemicalbro]

just installed the new beta and after a little play I agree its feeling much better.
Sorry Ade I've never flown a plane in real life so can't comment on how good/bad the FW physics are.
i've got a mate at my club who is a display level FW pilot and also uses phoenix.... I'll ask him about it.

[Ashley Davis]

Agree on the tail, still needs some expo on it in 2.0c.

[andylinney]

I'm no plank expert but I can fly 'em and have done for a lot longer than I have done heli's so I'll download this update and give it a go.

[barney]

A wee bug I'm getting on the 700 is if you alter the headspeed via the menu and return to fly the revised model it won,t spool up. I need to shut Phoenix down and then re-start Phoenix.

[garynitro]

Thought i had a bug, but it was at my end lol.

[Smoothound]

Just had a quick play and it seems to be OK here until I go online and that just stinks, dog slow, frame rate drops to as low as 6

[mattie-lodge]

Just downloaded it.

What have they done. Mines awful. Screen is jumpy as hell, and doesn't look right. If I fly up high its nice and smooth and when the ground conme into view is all jumpy.

Also cant turn the smoke off which normally slows it down.

Might go back I think

[Ashley Davis]

frame rate is fine on mine until I go online.....then it dives to 20 ish.

[Taffage]

hmm the new ver is very jumpy on mine, not as smooth as beta ver b and the framerate is write down compared to 105.j

Framerate in 105 = 200-500fps everything set to high @ 1900x1200 60hz
Framerate in beta c = 50-64fps same settings as above, same heli, same scenery etc

System spec
Vista 64bit
Amd 64 4800 x2 ( overclocked somewhat in my vapochill)
Asus an32-sli deluxe MB - all latest drivers and bios
XFG 7950 x2 gfx card with latest beta drivers 177.92
4gb crucial ballistic ram
Creative Audigy 4 sound card

[garynitro]

Mine is running v sync and sits at 60 fps, but the scenery isn't smooth! Jumpy!
But on my laptop, its better?
Which is strange, as my main PC is high end! And the laptop is not so high end lol.
So, need to change my Asus 8800GT 1GB for a pants 8400m gt
But i'm sure, they will get there in the end

[Taffage]

I have both 105.j and new beta ver c installed so can quickly jump between the 2.

The new beta ver c is jumpy no matter what gfx settings i use ( tried all from 1280x1024 up) and with or without vert sync.

The framerate stays a constant 60 when in vert sync but the screen jumps

I installed the beta c over the beta b could this be the problem???

Just tried clean install of beta C over 105.j - same result
