Phoenix 3d clinic a possibility?

[Heliheaven]

Carpman, I'm having the same issues as you. Just a thought here, your ISP wouldn't be Tiscali would it ??

[carpman]

Thanks guys i hope they get it sorted soon its peeving me off i dont enjoy flying on my own as i found i treat sim more like a game because theyre are no consequences or adrenalin trying to rattle the teeth out of ur head lol

I'm just thinking about putting post up for training partner to help me till i get the basics down or get me into using the sim for wot it was designed for practice before play .....

By the way i'm on a tosh lappy with vista hp , intel core 2 dou 1.83ghz with 3g ram and wireless bt boardband

Well still hosting a session now...on BT Broadband.

Never had an issue connecting or creating sessions, have you messed with your router settings as some do block the ports you need and also do you have a firewall running as again you may need to play with the settings in that too.

Just one other thing....I have phoenix running at the moment and also i have a cpu usage monitor running, it is using 100% of all my 4 cores at 3Ghz and I have a 1g 9800GTX+ graphics card!! that can't be right surely! nothing else that I run comes anywhere near to that. Me thinks there is some bad coding in there somewhere.

Only crashed 3 times this evening so far but when it is running the pings are around 40-60 most of the time.

I'm led to believe they are working on a complete rewrite of the multiplayer codebase so hopefully that will be properly sorted at some point.

Great news if this is true Rob.

Great news if this is true Rob.

yeah they told me that when i emailed them...... oh about 3 months ago

they also said there would be an announcement on the website of the progress
I've seen nothing about it so far.

I downloaded what I thought was the latest version last night "n", only to find people running "q"......

Now I've revisited the download part and of the site and all I see is version "n". Am I looking in the wrong place or has Phoenix removed a few updates due to more serious issues.

Also I tried to install a 600N skin into the PhoenixRC folder under Scheme's I think it was and that didn't work either (On my works laptop at present)

[HiltonSteve]

Just came out of hosting a multiplayer session were i was on my own and then flew around for 2 mins in normal single player mode and my CPU usage was around 30% which is what i would expect. But as soon as I go into a muliplayer session or create one then cpu usage goes upto 100% on 4 cores.

Definately needs the multiplayer part of phoenix recoding, maybe then everyone would not be complaining about it as much.

Come on Phoenix get it sorted, paying £80 for a sub-standard un-finished product is not really good enough!

It should 'auto' update when you start the program Stuart.

Updates are now done within Phoenix - Click the Check for updates button and away you go!

I to am using Kaspersky and have not had to tweak the settings in it so I don't think that will be problem. Could well be your router, what make is it?

[Stuart]

Nothing showing when I look for updates. This is the genuine item - not sure what the hell I've done with my CD though.

[Stuart]

Panic over found that I need to cross the show installed updates

[robgt]

Yeah, I find the update window a little flaky - some issues that the beta testers apparently aren't picking up

Ho hum...

Home hub 2 the latest black one

Just tried phoenix for the umpteenth time and connected first time but ful of planks (pardon the pun)... as you say when connected or trying to connect i hit 80-90% on both cores in norm cores at 30%
