Getting the most from sim time?

[Grant_beltcp]

I've rarely used the sim in the last year as my laptops running pretty bad, sounds gone and just dont seem to get the time recently.
My flying's suffered alot from it - especially before the champs (mainly auto's).
I've just set myself up a new office and use it in my breaks all this week - progressing again!

I have never been able to sit on the sim for hours, i get bored too easily. I also hate constantly doing one manouver untill i nail it - thats boring too - and thats not what i fly for! I find when learning something new (piro manouvers atm, piro rainbows, piro inverted wall of death etc) that i spend maybe 5 mins or so constant on it, then have a fly around doing all the other manouvers i know and general fun stuff, then work my way back into the new stuff. I try to enter whatever i'm learning from another manouver, so i'm trying to correct and set myself up correctly whilst im learning. I find that helps more than hovering on the spot and try it.

When i did practice the same thing over and over, i found out i would suffer on other manouvers when i come to fly for real.

Anyone got a recording on pheonix of piro tic-tocs, Piro inverted to upright 8's, piro rainbows etc - basically some nice piro stuff Basically Matt lodges Flights at 3D champs..... awesome stuff

Mattie - you have been called. Get those recordings posted up dude!

Will see what I can do tonight.

Trust me it won't be anything special, just functional I hope

Ok,

This one I've just found is a Choas first steps recording that I did for Tim the other day.

It shows the first steps I took to learning Choas or piro flip's.

First part is where you prio flip to inverted, stop then piro flip out to the right way up.

Once you are happy with these two moves you can join them together and start to form the full piro flip. When you put these two parts together you'll find you have a fudged piro flip that doesn't fatten out on the upright and inverted parts. It's then that you will have to seriously knuckle down and get your upright piro'ing sorted as well as your inverted piro'ing. I tried to neglect the last step and suffered badly with a very out of shape version of the move for a long time.

And mine are still far from perfect btw!!!!!!

Hope this helps, will have a go at the piro tic tok's later

This is fantastic guys. If we can get more recordings I'm sure they will assist many people. Some moves from sport flyers or guys that have passed the 'A' and 'B' would be great also.

Thanks again

You want to save the file then copy and paste it into Documents/PhoenixRC/Recordings. Then open the 'Flight Recorder' and go to 'Load a recording' and just select the one you want to watch.

Is anybody else really really jealous of that??!! Just AWESOME flying! Thanks Jack.

Who's next to post some recordings?

Right then, have just done as you said, but when I go to 'Load a recording' I press 'Load' and then nothing happens!

I have both the above recordings in the 'Saved recordings' drop down box, but when either are selected, nothing!

HELP!!

Thanks guys

[mattie-lodge]

After you have pressed load, then press play

Started messing around with these recordings so i can watch myself back to see all the mistakes on 3 mins of free style and what i have missed out, here is attempt at it for all to laugh atfreestyle3.pxr

[Grant_beltcp]

I've been doing the same in my lunch breaks at work - practicing a 3 min freestyle. I Get a decent routine going on the sim, but when i go out for real i fly completly different.
I guess some things dont look very interesting on the sim that actually work well in real life - so I figured the best way for me to work out what i'm going to do is write down everything i do in the sim, and then give that list to a freind who calls out one of the manouvers every now and again. Just freestyle it in between then. I'll try and get a recording up of my piro manouver attempts - sometimes i have a real good grasp of them, then an hour later i cant do anything lol.
