Phoenix v2.00 Beta L

[HiltonSteve]

I am running 2.00 beta L with absolutely no problems either offline of on??

Could it be that I built a new PC at the weekend and re-installed Phoenix in this order -

1) Installed Phoenix off the installation CD (1.04b ithink)
2) Ran update 1.04I
3) Ran update 1.04J
4) Ran update 2.00L
5) Ran program and let it do all the updates, heli's, aircraft etc.

Did not bother with any other updates and did not run the program in between updates and it now runs better than it ever has!

Running on Vista 64bit with a pretty high spec PC.

I think alot of these online issue might be firewall related.

I would try the following:

- open Phoenix, make sure it is in windowed mode, then quit.
- open Windows Firewall and completely remove Phoenix from the list.
- start Phoenix, and also start a multiplayer session - click "Allow" on any prompts which may appear.

That should refresh your firewall settings for Phoenix.

thanks scott

but i know atleast some of the guys involved are IT proffesionals so would think they have already tried this.

i had a slight issue with my phoenix today the tail would keep blowing out for fun!!! sent them an email and within 3 mins had a reply telling me to up the tail power in the sim. Cured it mind but ive never had to do that before anyone else had this prob, oh and my laptop now refuses to recognise the dongle

[chugga-bug]

Yeah, mines been doing that for a few of the upgrades now
What did you adjust Kev?

[steelie600]

in fine tuning increase the tail power slider i just whacked mine up to 150% works fine now!! lol.

it was like flying with a csm 200 gyro holds fer a bit then blows out in spectacular fashion!!!

I don't run the firewall so that is a non starter

I'm ditto here on windows firewall Phil.

More G4/Phoenix comparisions

Ok did a bit of online with G4, well the G4.5 Beta tonight. Session was hosted over the pond..3 flyers and it was a little glitchy at times..BUT it never crashed out or slowed to the point of being unflyable.

Model crashes upset G4, same as Phoenix but not so badly. Comparing the two online G4 seems to reduces the quality of the other rendered models more so than Phoenix especially when further away.

As far as connection/online/disconnection It was plug and play.

Phoenix if your reading this......A BIG bonus from memory with G3.5, and assume G4 is no different.
When your are hosting and end the session it gets transferred over to one of the remaining users who automatically becomes the new host so you can carry on without stopping. Saves the hassle of someone having to re-host and folks hooking up again..and again

Phoenix if your reading this......

Does anyone know if their spies actually read these forums or is it down to emailing support with complaints.

I used to us G3 and this didn't really work as about 2/3 of flyers couldn't host sessions properly so nobody could then join you & you would be left stuck with the one guy you didn't really like wondering where everybody else went!

Would have been good if it could transfer hosting to the person (whose pc was setup to host) with the quickest connection.

Guys,

Just bought Phoenix and love it. Have downloaded the latest version to my desktop PC and it's working a treat. Have even set it up on my ancient laptop and it runs well there too, but...

...the laptop is not internet enabled! Is there any way to get the new version (2.0 beta L) from the desktop PC on to the laptop using US memory keys etc?

Any help appreciated!

Just shove the updates on to a memory stick and install them from there.

Not possible (as far as I know) to copy the whole program and updates over.
