Phoenix Online "Buzz...Thumpers"

[andylinney]

Just decided to come off the Phoenix Online service for the rest of the afternoon after a really frustrating session.

Something has become a massive irritant and it's the

"Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump"

It's obviously folks trying a move they don't have the first clue about how to fly and the resultant noise sounds like an angry wasp being chased down with a big shoe...

"Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump" "Buzz...Thump"

I appreciate the need to learn the new stuff on the sim but if after 30 / 40 goes and you're spending less than 3 seconds in the air on each occasion, something suggests it's time to concentrate on the basics before trying to fly a double-mcwhopper-snozbanging-twirlything...

Sorry , rant over (for now)

Sorry Andy, if I contributed to that at all. Now I got my right hand turns down, I did try to do circles a few times, without much success I have to say...

That's why you so rarely see me on line, Andy. I'm so crap I prefer to keep it to myself.

Not at all Mart - it's the ones that don't even get in the air before decking it time and time again, you were flying great earlier!

[Mart61]

...you were flying great earlier!

You're too kind!

Steve, it will be my signature move at the 3D Scot - generally me trying to keep my model in the air by trying to steer it with my entire body...

i went out shopping came back and there was only 1 person left on there, it was a bit mad earlier, was trying to practice my freestyle but kept getting wiped out, but the joys of online.......lol

If it worries you, don't fly online or password your session and only let quality "players" in...

I don't really see it's a problem...

[Grant85]

Andy,If you open up an online session then put a password on and invite the people you want to go on.Or alternatively if someone is on your session and they are doing your head in,then there is a function on there to remove certain users or ban them from your session.

hope that was not me?

[chemicalbro]

if i want to learn something new i don't do it online.
the other helis are far too off putting even if the aren't buzz thumping .
you need all your concentration to learn new stuff and having to avoid other users only adds to the frustration.

[moyesboy]

Sounds like someone left their session connected with the full collective and full cyclic just to annoy you!

'Striker, I'm still shit now but I fail to see what anyone learns from spending less than a few seconds in the air on each attempt other than the fact that they can't do whatever it is they're trying yet. Surely common sense dictates that if you can't pull the move, you need to break it down into its component parts and work on each of them, at which point the move will eventually come naturally.

Like I say, I'm nowhere near an expert but I just can't see the value in "Buzz...Thump" every few seconds...
