Phoenix v2.00.h Beta

[Tim Procter]

Another update


Ready for download guy's..

[robgt]

I had a little play with this beta version last night (late) and it felt pretty damn good to me!

I had to tweak the Trex700 settings to make it more active as it is slow compared to mine, but a quick tweak later and I was really enjoying it.
I find the sim can feel a little floaty now and then, but generally it's really rather good.
The skids fall off a bit too easily too

I would prefer the default setting for "Auto Zoom" to be off though - I've never liked that through all versions of this sim (my eyes don't do it at the field! ).

This was my first time looking at the beta (no time before now) and my only real negative comment would be about the particularly long winded Tx calibration - there were a few too many unnecessary clicks (through information screens) in there. Perhaps combining the info onto the panels that need clicks to progress the calibration process, with expanding panels to display info if the users needs it, would be a neater idea - and quicker for the existing user who knows what to do?

Cheers,
Rob

Totally agree with that mate.

Hi,

This may be off topic but I have been using Phoenix and according to it I shouldn't be able to get my mini titan off the ground, I keep crashing. (Though in real life I'm having a ball) If I was being cynical I would say it's not very realistic - but it can't be because everyone raves about it.

The worrying thing is I'm okay with computer games and work in IT...

Am I missing something...?

Hydev, make sure you don't have ccpm enabled on your transmitter...

[hydev]

Eer yes of course... (will check tonight)

[Balders]

haha, that's what caught me out with Phoenix first time I used it...was thinking my heli (which was unflown at that point) MUST be completely unfliable...created a new default heli model specifically for Phoenix on Tx, fly's like a treat now. Oh, and heli fly's just fine!

I guess to us the calibration seems long-winded - but take into account the guys who have no clue what calibration even is, and then it makes more sense.

I've tried downloading the previous version F. I found it jumps alot when the ground is in view. Also it puts smokle on that I can't turn off. Anybody know how to turn this off? In the old version you could select a percentage of smoke and colour you wanted it. Now I can't seem to find this feature ?????????????????????????

Cheers

With rthis long winded calibration do they make it possible to get the gear switch to work for HH/Rate easily?
Previousl yyou had to fudge it to get a mid channel position to get it to calibrate (not easy with a 2 position switch - achieved with a temporary pmix to a stick channel).

Sure - I think my suggested "solution" covers both nicely... info for those that need it just a click away, and for those that don't - a faster calibration setup

There was a step to toggle the switches for gear and rates - so maybe... I don't bother with them once flying on the sim so didn;t test it - but I recall calibrating them in the process...

Well I've fiddled tonight and Online seems broken here. Seemed to be loads of sessions with 1 person and all sessions with more than 1 was version g

[Tim Procter]

Same here Phil, Online sessions are borked tonight, Can't access any of them..

As much as I like Phoenix joining their online sessions have always been trouble for me.

Tonight is totally crap..
