is crash damage modeled? or is it just a collision and aircraft reset?

Not yet.
The aircraft resets, and damn fast too!
If you're used to waiting 3 to 5 seconds (and more) for the model to reset on Reflex, then get ready for a shock

yes at the moment it is just a collision/reset thing. its the quickest way of getting flying again rather than wasting processor time making the crash look pretty.

it may well be added as an optional/switchable extra later on but its no where near the top of the to do list.

Ahh ok thanks.
It's always fun though when you get it wrong to see the crash, you don't get a reset button in real life so i think they should include the option in the future

[Ade_Law]

for ultimate reality we could debit your CC with 200ukp and make you wait a week between crashes :-)

Hi Guys i have a question for ade forgive me if it has been asked allready! Is this sim really all that? And is it easy to instal and use reason i ask is santa is getting me one aka Dave Drew for a swap deal..... Hoping it will help me learn inverted and 3 d etc.
Merry x'mas all regards Steve

[robgt]

I'd say so.
You will learn everything on the sim, and Phoenix is the best there is.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks rob and thomas had rf g2 and reflex ok i suppose is the update free or do you have to pay out more dosh. Does it has the ability to do idle ups and throttle hold for auto's and can it do in flight engine cut engine impromptue dead sticks.
Regards Steve

[robgt]

Updates are free - downloadable from the website.

idle ups and throttle hold for auto's

Yep.

in flight engine cut engine impromptue dead sticks

Cut engine would be just like throttle hold no?
Dead sticks, I'm not sure but I don't think so.

Cheers,
Rob

All the upgrades are free, so it's great value for the money

[Ade_Law]

seems all your questions have been answered!

i will just add one thing. inflight failures sound like a great idea but i just found them to be annoying. most of the time they happen at times where your just going to crash so theres nothing really to learn from them other than...

inflight failures are bad and almost certainly will cause you to crash!

Hi Ade going by what i have seen here you have probably owned or used every sim ever invented. I used to say the only way reflex could be any more like the real deal was if it had a slot to take your money when you crash. Is this more so with phoenix?
Steve

[robgt]

I find the physics more realistic in Phoenix compared to Reflex.
I went from Aerofly Pro to Reflex then on to Phoenix. It's the best so far!!
