Phoenix FMode1/IdleUp

[dam74]

Well after losing my Phoenix CD for a week or so I managed to find it. Was sitting in my entertainment unit (moved my PC desk recently). Anyway after reinstalling it and using a new DX6i I can no longer seem to get Fmode0/1 toggle switch to work in Phoenix to be bound to IdleUp. I can't see it operating in the channel interogator/viewer either.

Any ideas?

I found that, when I had a similar problem, I just set the switch up in the radio, not adjusting Phoenix, and all was well.

if you get stuck
make min throttle 100%
flat out

Martin how'd you do that?

Well, just set the throttle and pitch curves on the DX6i for Idle Up and away you go. Start at page 118 of your manual and adjust the STUNT settings for both the Throttle and Pitch for your Phoenix model.

Mart, ahhh that is what I had before. I could of sworn when I was in multiplayer once somebody said the curves do sod all.

Mart I know how to setup curves but have been told the incorrect info about it not affecting phoenix

Give it a go - it should work. I did the self same thing to get idle up and TH working in phoenix for my DX7.

Sounds like you have your DX6i set in heli mode when using phoenix. If this is the case the F-mode switch wont work as it is not assigned to any channel so you would have to change the throttle curve on the DX6i as already mentioned. The only switch that will be active in phoenix if you are using HELI mode is the FLAP/GYRO switch.

Personally I prefer to set all throttle and pitch curves within phoenix and run my DX6i in ACRO mode with pretty much default settings.
If you are using ACRO mode the F-MODE switch outputs on channel 5 and the FLAP/GYRO switch outputs on channel 6.
As channel 6 is pitch in HELI mode you have to assign both the throttle and pitch to channel 1 in phoenix if you have your DX6i set to ACRO.

Same here

Me too. The FMode switch works, as does the Throttle Hold for auto practice
