Problem

[sidy2001]

Had problem with Phoenix tonight, can only hover at the moment, so was hovering when all of a sudden it whent out of control. Found out that it was my virus checker. it was running a scan.
Anyone else has had this problem. I' running AVG,

Got a Mac so can't run Pheonix or AVG, so no out-of-control problems here pal.

i run avg, i schedule the scans for over night. AV software chews up a fair bit of system time. phoenix uses a good chunk to. so the 2 together maxes the processor out and things go a bit funny as they fight for processor time.

surely to be out of control you have to have been in control at some point?

Have to change from linux to windows to run Phoenix, it would be great to have it on linux as the deasktop is 3d and no virus.

At What point are you in control of your OS


Oh wait its windowz its always open... to everything

Linux is not virus free by any means or worm free but far better than naff dows. (of course that depends on Linux Kernal/version..)

isn't there some software for Linux that will run Windows stuff without windows running or am I thinking of something esle?

<rubs eyes> Sid a PC guru.... i didnt see THAT coming..

If you need to run Windows, but prefer Linux (or whatever) for your day to day stuff - try installing Linux inside a Virtual PC setup, use that for your day to day stuff, and pop out of that and into Windows (as the host OS) to run Phoenix

No dual booting required.

Switch OS in seconds...
And MS Virtual PC is FREE

Phoenix locks out on me occasionally, and stutters when my email downloads in the background.
When my tx locks out I just pull and push the USB connector and it starts again.
However if I leave phoenix running and go to another application, when I return the sound is either silent or different. I have to exit Phoenix to get it back.

The other problem I had was I reduced the sim speed and created a variant with fastest servo response and zero slop to experiment with slow motion 3D. however I couldn't get the control responses back to how they were, the default settings were lost and new settings appied to all models (even tohugh I changed the numbers back) so it was really strange afterward when I went back to full speed.
I had to reinstall the software to get realism back.

Slowing down for practice didn't really work, and I was disapointed that the recorder recorded the slow speed and didn't play back full speed, so there was no fooling everyone that I had done some impossible manoevres!

Hi Gordon

Unfortunately learning 3D is very much like flying XC, the only way to get good at it is to practise it a lot.
Unfortunately doing one a lot this year (heli's) has stopped me doing much of the other.
Now that's confused everyone else on here:-)

See you at the NEC at the weekend maybe.

i have recently used the slow down function to get my piro walls of death going. definitly helped a lot. i changed no other settings

that way the amount of control you use and the timing is spot on its just slower. gives you time to think about it.

bob is right... you just need lots and lots of stick time.

slow down function

you have my number, or you find me when they hand out the silverware. You have to take your own and they give you it back!

Simulation setup, sumulation speed slider at the top.
I tried to get full response speed on the sticks with the model flying through teacle when it a got screwed up.
If bob comes to visit me we'll aim to drop in as you would be downwind.

Sorry about the thread hijack, blame bob.

I just had a browser hijack, for a short while all I could connect to was ...er...specialist interest material. sorted now tho. Look what fun you mac and linux folks are missing!
