Phoenix makes me sick :(

[invasion]

Does anyone else suffer from a type of motion sickness when they use Phoenix??
I havent purchased it yet just downloaded the free demo and it makes me feel sick

I get the same thing on games like call of duty anything that the background moves in a different direction.

So my question is can you lock the background so the camera doesnt follow the heli ??? so the heli moves as if I was keeping my head still in real life if that makes sense ???

thanks

It does but you wouldnt be able to follow the heli if it goes AWOL.

[tonystevens]

you can but you have to keep the heli within the screen which is easier said than done!

I don't get that problem but if you go to "View / camera / Free Look ... youre sorted!

Hi, can you lock it and zoom out so you could fly figure of eights etc and not lose site ??

thanks

[MartinH]

Especially with the Shift-rotor lol.

Yes the camera can be set to free look which locks it in one place.
But its totally useless as you have to keep the heli right in front of you or it will just fly off screen.

Check you dont need glasess, many peolpe need them for viewings screens.

Thanks for the replies much appreciated.
I am ok with 2D things just when everything is moving it makes me sick just like car sickness

I think I will go and get my eyes tested just to be on the safe side.

So would you say it isnt worth getting Phoenix if I have to use freelock mode ???

I would say having to use the free look mode would totally destroy the point of having an rc sim

**Cough, cough

^^^^^^^^^^^
lol gota laugh.

Hmmm doesn't look good then

I guess if I was flying gently it may not be so bad on normal mode but if it is darting about thats when it really makes me bad. Maybe I could get used to it??

thanks for advice

Been reading on google, a few reccomendations on there including changing the refresh rate on screen to sitting back from the monitor futher.
