Phoenix makes me sick :(

Take something for travel sickness before using it????

Oh god now they tell me when Ive just ordered it heh

I suffer terrible motion sickness. Part of disability is I puke for England (lost 7stone in 5months when i started being ill and was a right porker then) and I go thru about 3 keyboards a year being sick lol.

You can take certain things for motion sickness like bucastem what you put under your lip and it disolves. As a avid gamer Ive found that frame rate is what affects me most anyway. Back in days leading up to around Half Life 2 games didnt have a great 60fps and when a game constantly fluctuactes up and down with a frame rate this can cause it. That or a uber one and your spinning around very fast with background like walls.

Since basically xbox 360 came out though I hardly get it as PS3/360 its damn smooth and with PC graphics cards now having same grunt same on them. I got it on Assasins Creed 2 on PS3 so took it back and got 360 one instead as was smoother.

It could be your PC not being great at a constant frame rate? When I get mine I will have a good test and see what tweaks and that I can get to get a good POV etc.. and let you know m8 cas if it wont affect me then its definetly good!

General tips for motion sickness though is either play in the dark or with a light on (it affects people different ways thats why say both) sit with a fan on next to you to keep you cool and try capping your hz rate if your using a monitor to around 85hz as the flicker rate can affect your eyes (I run mine now off a 46" telly and I dont get that anymore as its only 60hz). Try also altering the resolution to higher or lower.

I cant see it being eyesight either and needing glasses. IM classed as partially sighted at 4/20 and all you get is a blindng migraine from eyestrain.

I have bucastem tablets as every now and then I get really sick and dizzy. I know it is coming becuse a few days before my hearing goes muffled and then when that clears I am in for it!

Anyhow I have had quick go on my friends copy of Phoenix that he just got..and it made me a little sick and it lasted the rest of the day ??

I found the trainer view the best for me. I dont think we set my DX6i up correctly as the slightest movment and the heli was off -or is this how hard it is ?-it did say somthing about turning off swash mix I think, but I forgot my manual so wasnt sure how to do it...would this make a big difference??

on normal mode I didnt like it to be honest. I couldnt get a view that I liked.The heli seemed to get so small so quickly that I couldnt tell its orientation? when the camera changed direction that really put me off and freelock is useless to be honest. If I do get it I would only use the trainer mode I think.

I am undecided going to have a few more goes before I make my mind up.

Do you suffer migraines at all as well m8? Just wondering as I get them (I loose my eyesight they go all foggy) and certain fast motion things can bring them on (reason I had to wait for a LCD HD TV as couldnt get a DLP one).

[invasion]

no migraines as yet...I get a feeling like I am using one eye more than the other if that makes sense ???

when is your mSR arriving ??

[Hangar-7]

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 ???

Try to focus on the heli and it may take a bit of practice and soon you'll forget all about surroundings.

A reading glass of low magnification is worth trying - it will probably set you back by £2.50 from a chemist or Boots ... but by all means go and see an optician.
