4% to go then I'll try it.

Anyone get their Dx6i to work fully with it yet? Mine won't map the idle up switch (on the advanced config it doesn't pick up the signal from the channel at all), so have assigned it to a keyboard key for now - if anyone cracks it, grateful if they'd post how here.

Thanks

Hi Andy

You dont need to map that in the software - just set it up in the transmitter unit and it will work in the sim without any extra setup

Also, make sure you are in HELI mode before you do it!

My DX6i works fine with idle up - just as well as I crashed the heli!!

Just went through the calibration wizard thing... Ade at Hobby Hangar set me up a Phoenix model on the Tx - don't know if that's made a difference... I'd be happy to reproduce the settings if that would help...

Thanks

TX was doing funny things in the heli mode, so switched to plane. Will switch back to heli model type and see how it goes.

Am loving the new planks - always wanted a capiche, and can now at least fly a virtual one - thank goodness Weston didn't have any of the new leccy mini ones at the Southern Model airshow - no way I could have walked past that!

new beta is cool.
frame rates are improved.
VASTLY improved on multiplayer. (i was getting around 20fps on multi player beta d.... now getting around the 100-120 mark on beta e) nice one fellas.
I only tested the trex 600 nitro and rappy 50 and the tails still seem to be kicking out a bit in funnels. quite hard to hold it in position. (i changed the throttle curves for idle up 1 to about 40% mid stick.. 90% full stick and it seemed to help hold the tail better) with idle up 2 giving the full power range. 100,50,100

[chugga-bug]

Don't know why but mines still running no more than about 47fps or around 25 in multiplayer?? Better than beta D (approx 7fps in multi player) but still worse than 105j.
Also keeps crashing and/or freezing.

do you have vertical sync enabled?
if so disable it and see if that helps
