[liambaker996]

wll been practacing my flying on phoenix over the last few days as can not get down to the field until a weekend
and ave started thinkng is this phoenix or people used to know it or is it just me?
if you leave phoenix running for 2 minuites or so it comes up with a error report(may be my computer dont know)
try joining session sometimes no joy what so ever(my be my router who knows)
and last but not least getting booted as soon as you join then can not get back in (again may be me i dont know)
any way i would like every one to tell us about your bad sides of phoenix and hopefully the manafactures and designers will do something about our problems
thanks in advance liam

The online problems are pretty well documented.

Sometimes I can join a session and stay connected for a long time without any problems, other times I get kicked for no apparent reason.

Ive not had any problems with the programs stability itself, I think that might be a problem with your PC.

Ive got mine running at 1920x1200 now and it looks fantastic
Not bad for my laptop geforce 7300go

Its been fine for me on the whole, just have problems now and again on multiplayer. Still after all said and done its a "sim" and is intended as a training aid and not an online multiplayer "game".

Ok for the price you expect more from it and I can only hope the programmers read forums like this to find out opinions and act on it!

It runs great on my machine pictures sharpe and motion is smooth. Only crashes I've had is down to multiplayer, maybe would be an idea for them to allow others to host a server which may in turn make it a more reliable and enjoyable experience online?

I have no issues when running Phoenix offline - I'm pretty sure that if there are issues running offline (single player mode) that they will more than likely be hardware/driver related.

Online mostly works for me - sometimes it's crap being laggy and dropping connections etc, sometimes it just works fine, rarely it doesn't work at all.

Runtime are rewriting the online side of the software, so I await the update to see if that side gets resolved nicely.
Cheers,

The last problem I had offline was I switched the sound off in the setup menu and it just destroyed the whole installation so I had to uninstall and reinstall it
I seemed to lose all my custom models as a result.
So don't do that!

I've not had any issues offline so far (famous last words) online either works or it doesn't, sometimes I can get on no problems and other nights it just does not want to seem to play ball. Even when I can get into a session if it has more than 3 people in, it's usually quite laggy, still it is a good laugh and you can just sit and talk rubbish about helis instead

I think part of the problem is that whoever starts the session is the host computer.
If they dont have a fast lag free connection then everybody will get lag.

only problems ive had have been online related, one thing that does happen fairly often is if ive been online and then disconnect and continue to use the programme it inveriably crashes at some point on me.
