Tweaking the helis on Phoenix?

[gazza]

Hiya fellas,

Got my copy yesterday and..ASTOUNDING!!
I just hope I dont actually get to prefer the comfort of the sim to flying for real

Has anyone found a good way of tweaking the heli parameters to make them a little more difficult to fly and less forgiving?

I've messed with ground affect, hovering stability, and cyclic/tail torque losses but not really getting the results I want.

I'm referring to the performance helis ie Knight 50 etc

Turn the simulation speed up. Get those fingers working a bit faster will make the real thing real easy!

Yeah mate good plan thanks.

I spent most of yesterday morning doing figure of eights on the Sim, then took the heli to the field in the afternoon.

I found I had so much more confidence, much happier with nose in etc.
I was never convinced that sims could actually be of much training value. my opinions have now changed!

It would seem that this SIM is fast becomming very popular, how does it compare to Reflex XTR, which i currently use, what is the cost, and can you use your own TX

lots of info on www.phoenix-sim.com

trextuning has a review that explains a lot.

reflex has been going for 80-100ukp on ebay so its not going to cost you any money to upgrade.
