New model coming soon...

When the weather improves enough for me to get some nice photos of my Srimok, I'll make sure it happens.

That goes for the eAurora too, when it is released

Excellent stuff Rob, that would be grand! PM when you have them and I'll compile the specs etc for submission.

Thanks mate!

No need to wait for nice weather if you can do flash photography. I did all my Typhoon pics indoors and used a white wall as a background. Bounce-flash is ideal, but there's no need to have a studio for the job. There's no need to make the background plain white, but I suggest that a background that is easily separated from the model when the Phoenix team cut'n'paste would be beneficial. Also, by using neutral lighting you allow the phoenix graphics engine to add it's own lighting effects more easily. If you take a pic of your heli in lovely golden sunshine then it will look a little wierd flying in the "arctic tundra" backdrop. I'd always go for neutral lighting if possible.

For me, it's finding the space and a bit of quiet at home - far easier at the field
Phoenix also prefer natural lighting (outdoors - sun behind you), but that's not to say your method doesn't work - obviously it does

Still... you never know!
I quite fancy flying a Srimok on the sim sometime this century

Update: I just flew the revised version of the Typhoon and it's spot on! The version with wheels on is a bit sluggish to say the least, whereas the hand-launch version really benefits from the reduced weight and drag. Hopefully you'll all get to have a go soon.

PS - sadly I've made the thrust of the Typhoon realistic rather than how I'd like it to be, but you can soon change that if you want!

I can think of a few popular foamy planks I wouldnt mine seeing, like the funjet, Phase 3 EF16, Phase 3 Squall!, SU-34 vector thrust + more

They're not for public consumption until Phoenix are happy to release them.
If a model was made publicly available that was going through the testing and tweaking phase and wasn't performing right it would reflect badly on the software, which is hardly fair

anything is better than nothing, I must have had the rave on phoenix at least 4 months before it actually was released

[robgt]

I know everyone is dead keen to get hold of the latest models, and it might be better in some peoples minds to get the model before it's officially ready - but from a business perspective for Runtime, the only option is to officially release a model once it is completely ready as the quality of the product reflects on their business.

The Rave was not released by Phoenix early, somebody let that one out when they shouldn't have
Cheers,
Rob
