Really glad the rave and outrage 550 is on the upgrade but gutted the aurora isn't
Will down load and have a play later though

[Ashley Davis]

the 250 whilst it's in the beta should be considered still very much 'development', I had a lot of problems making a heli that small work with the current flight model parameters, there's more to come on that particular model before the beta becomes a final release.

Server is getting hammered at the moment, 47kbps!

The Aurora is coming shortly after the sim is out of beta

I should add... I wanted it to be out now with the beta, but it wasn't to be... runtime are too busy on the development currently!

Cheers,

Tell me about it, got the same problem here such a pain!!!

[rchelispares]

is it just me or does it sound more like a game now...idle and spool up are good but were has the clap of the blades gone when they are under load? just constantly gives that high pitch blade noise instead of the clapping roar. feels gamey i think - raptor 50 anyway

[robgt]

You can try adjusting the volume of the engine noise on that model down to hear more blade noise - maybe?

Edit Model - Sound - adjust the slider for engine volume.
Worth a shot

[rchelispares]

cheers ill give that a shot and see what happens

[HiroboFreak]

Nice to have blades scrapes & crack. Auto's seem better.

But the models are way overpowered. Sticks in the corners & still holding the headspeed, even with +/-14°
Full pitch & tons of cyclic hurricanes & no loading. ??

And what happened to the blade bark? Almost non-existent.

Keep at it guys.

[Ashley Davis]

the model parameters are all there for you to edit, you think it's overpowered, go edit it to make it how you want it, the default models are representations of how others feel their machines fly, if yours doesn't fly like that then that's why the model editing parameters are there. The main parameters you would need to change are the model power and cyclic loading.

Installed it & whenever i open the main program I get error message 'Sim shader not found'
Program works but the graphics are messed up
Anyone else get this?

Yes bring down the engine sound volume in the heli settings. For the Protos I use 80% volume and the blade clap sound is really nice.

Cheers!
