Online training

[carpman]

I know phoenix has its moments but with its new update hopefully that will improve....

Yes the sims are a great tool for self teaching but myself like most would prefer to practice with others....

I have found with all sports that if you participate with others of a higher level you learn faster and the right way....

Any kind of payment/s would be very hard to work out for tutoring online , would be different for real time with buddy box .. I would have thought that the better pilots wanted the newbies to learn and in turn when the newbies got better they could help bring others on therefore starting a snowball effect and encouraging others to participate.. If you join a club or fly with others that are better than yourself when they help you advance / tutor do they hold their hand expecting recompence

tell you what guys, when the new 2.5 beta is released as part of a multiplayer test I'll run a training session for an hour.

It will be for intermediates and we can cover one (or more) of the following moves:

half piro flip from tail in hover to inverted tail in hover, and how to piro flip back out to tail in again
chaos .... how to time your stick stir
slapper
travelling tic tocs

Hopefully I've not pitched that at too high a level for most to have a go.

Hi,

Thanks Ashley sounds nice. Hopefully the new pre beta today will run fine and the public will be ready sometime next week.
Oh and you happen to be working on the 450 PRO for PhoenixRC?

Cheers!

I haven't done any work on a 450 PRO for phoenix, it's possible I could get asked but not so far.

Hi,

Which ones did you make for PhoenixRC?
The 450 PRO might be in the works already as it will be released soon after 2.5 final.

By the way, seen you test the 2.5 online play, but I could not connect to that session. Hope the session was locked and not some issue with my ISP.

Cheers!

[Ashley Davis]

I'm running versions of 2.5 that the other pre-beta testers aren't, so it wouldn't let you on due to code differences.

[puzom]

Was running 2.5G yesterday, session had the same version.
Running 2.5H now.

[Ashley Davis]

yeah, the version numbers are the same as yours but the code is different. It's for no other reason than there is a couple of us working directly on the multiplayer code and we are at times taking several updates per day.

[puzom]

Ok clear. Can't wait to get online and to see others fly So make it run well

Cheers!

Ashley hi I would be in on the Phoenix when it happens so yes please.
Being self taught mastered hovering and forward flight.
Backward flight to some extent and a little inverted is there a guide you could give such as the following.
I need to advance to tick tock etc and the basic 3d moves what would you advise that I practice at the field to become ready for the basic 3d moves?
ie fly from point a to point b at a steady height then fly back to the start point backwards . Then turn round and fly the same but reverse. Some thing along these lines would be good as I seem to be flying around successfully with the occasional "donk" when I go beyond my ability really looking for a step by step approach to improvement.
Hope this makes sense
