Upgrade Path

[Cralis]

I'm a constant Windows Reinstaller/upgrader.

And each time, I need to re-install Phoenix. Is there a one-time install to get to V2? I have an install CD from the mid 1960's I think

It installs 1.03c

What's the next valid version to install? I have a directory full of versions, but.. what's the quickest way to get to v2.x? And, is there no one-off install for V2?

Thanks.

Hey Cralis
Hows the flying?
you must be doing hard 3D by now?

I recently re-installed phoenix from the last separate downloaded install file (can't remember which bit it was v2) and it was happy to do that (the dangle cable was in)- but I hadn't done anything to windows - just uninstalled and reinstalled that slightly earlier version.
Then I had to trigger a manual update from within phoenix to get it up to the current version.

You could always but the latest version CD for £6.95 from here....

I've got Phoenix on a couple of computers at home plus my laptop and find the easiest way to install it is to use a USB stick. If you copy the full Phoenix directory as installed on a PC to the USB stick, then copy it into the 'Program Files' directory on the new PC it will work just fine, to make it easy to start just place a shortcut to the Phoenix executable file on the desktop.

It would be easy enough to copy the files direct to a DVD-R so you could keep the latest version on disc, ready for a re-install.

Thanks guys!

The 'copy the directory' idea sounds like the best plan! I'll give that a bash, thanks. So now System files required (Windows folder stuff)?

Moys, hello! To be honest, I haven't flown my heli for about 4 months now.. so I'm really not progressing too well. But I'll get back to it soon. Summer is just too hot to fly. The sun beating down on you, day after day after day. Time better spent at the beach...

Actually, I have a confession.. I bought 2 planes! Yup, planks.. fixed wing.. Please don't ban me! I got a GWS Slow Stick (Really slow park flyer) to help me with my nose in stuff. With a plane - at some point, you have to nose-in! And if you crash it, it costs around $10 to fix! (Around 20 GBP). That's MAX.

Oh, and I started doing my PPL fixed wing as well, but got to circuits, and stopped, after the economy went sour.

I also only have a Trex500CF and a BladeCX2 now... With the Aussie $ taking a tanking to the US$, it got too pricey to fix helis, so I reduced the numbers.

I'll be flying again soon though.

Hope all is well your side.
