Thanks Mike557 ive been using the Kestrel to practice on.

Wonder if anyone knows the answer to this one, ive downloaded the two newest aircraft from the pheonix site and installed them just as I did the T-Rex's but where the first two now appear in the aircraft menu the Storch and the Swiss chopper are not showing up, but if I go into the update menu they are showing as loaded. im using version 1.03C which is the latest as far as I can see, just wondered if anyone had any ideas or is im doing something stoopid.

Also had my first flight this morning since using the Pheonix sim, just to see if it had sharpened my skills, only with a cheepy leccy chopper, 5 seconds into the flight damn thing started pirouetting so had to land it like that haha, which I almost managed but unfortunately it hit turned and went over, I think all the damage is is a couple of broken links maybe the main shaft has gone, not worried about the damage as it will be cheap to repair, its the having to wait even more flippin time to get out and try again damit lol.

Same here. I downloaded the two new models and loaded them. PhoenixUpdate says they've already been installed, but they don't show up anywhere under the the Select Aircraft dialog.

Both new models working fine for me on version 1.03c also

[Ade_Law]

heard this a couple of times now. I spoke to phoenix and they suggested redownloading the 1.03c update.

didnt work for me I re downloaded the update and installed - nothing, then reinstalled the aircraft - nothing then reinstall the trex600 just for the hell of it and both new aircraft appeared as they should in the selection lists. Strange but it worked. Would probably work with any of the previous updated aircraft not just the trex600.

Ade

I redownloaded 1.03c installed that, then I did the same with all the other files and reinstalled all of those and still the storch and the new swiss heli dont show up on the menu but show as installed on the update menu.

Very strange, I tried installing the same files on another machine and it all worked fine, all aircraft showing and ready for use.

the only thing I have not tried is a complete re-instillation as my origional disk is not with me but I will try that later to see if it makes a differance

[Ade_Law]

very strange, there have been a few reports of this. Are you 100% sure you installed the 1.03c you got from the website today? not the old one you already had on your HD?

I couldn't be 100% sure no, so this morning I deleted any previous versions, re-downloaded the file and loaded it. I am pleased to report it's all working ok, the 2 aircraft are now showing.

Thanks for the help

Had a problem with mine a couple of days ago where it just wouldn't load. Lots of error screens and thn it hung. Pleased to say after removing and reinstalling it seems to be fine again. The two new models are working as well.

Of course ive yet to see if all this experimenting with Pheonix is going to help in the real world, my ic chopper is still to be flown as I want someone with a little more experience than mine to check it out for me, which should happen this weekend.

and on the leccy side since having the sim ive had about 30 seconds of flight I took off the leccy got it into a hover(I have to say easily with confidence) once there the tail rotor decided to stop working and it hovere for a few second pirouetting nicely no imput from me would stop or even slow it down, so I lowered it as gently as I could it touched down tiped over. the result couple of broken links a bent shaft and feather spindle. Still I should have it repaired again before the end of the week, plus exchanging the gyro tail servo and reciever to hopefully eliminate any repeat problem.
