Just sticking my oar in this again.....

Hover training should be easier than the real thing, not harder, the point is to learn the controls not be confronted by a manic bumble bee that whizzes off the screen at every opportunity. As Ade has said the training mode is scheduled for improvement. I have a list of things I'd like to see, which I'll be handing on to Phoenix. It will be fixed I'm sure.

I did get to talk to Phoenix, in the manual it specifies that the easifly50 is the only model designed to be used with hover training mode. For reasons that Ade stated you get the slightly manic handling with other models.

Phoenix are looking at some improvements to it but if they make improvements it will probably be after the already promised ADK and multiplayer functionality.

It looks like this issue has been addressed by Phoenix in the 1.03.c revision download

“ Due to customer comments and feedback, a small alteration has been made to the Hover Training mode to make Hover Training with 3D performance helicopters easier.”

I didnt notice it as a bug but just my inability to do it correctly.

I actually found the hover training mode quite infuriating and havnt used it since I first used the prog. this is probably the reason why

It's fixed, hover training is now much more docile.

Awesome! That's fast response to customer requests. Thanks Phoenix team.

Sesame, that's the same experience I had. When I was first learning I found that hovering was a lot harder in hover training mode, unless I used the pitch-only mode. I couldn't put my finger on why, I just knew it wasn't very useful. When I went back and tried it after learning to hover, then it was obvious why it was harder.

Ive just downloaded the new update so i'll give it a go later.

It was just how inacurate I thought it was, where the actual hovering in main screen I think is fantastic, and one I had fiddled with some of the heli setting I got it to feel alot more natural, like taking off the HH gyro increasing the wind factor and making it a little less responsive.

I love the program think its great, in the sim i'm getting pretty good at the nose in hovering, wanna give the real thing a try, with plenty of height though
