Demonstration Flight Recordings

my request

I'd like to see a recording in Phoenix of the BMFA A-cert 'lazy 8'.

There was one floating around but it was a FF figure 8, not the hovering maneuver the A cert calls for.

I can do FF figure 8's and circuits all day long, it's the walking pace, consistent height thing I need to work on.

For that matter, the entire A and B certs would be interesting to see.

I would think it is up to the contributors which models they choose to use.

No problem, the 10 other people can submit their contributions too.

At the end of the day if a helper uploads then it does not matter if ten more can do it better.

As for the model agree with above thats down to what the uploader prefers.

Might be a idea to make a sticky thread for these demo videos to be upload in the phoenix part of the forum

Don't know if Tim did contact Stuart but it's already been suggested by me. The art of any tutorial is to show the stick movements. It's hard for a beginner to understand the small amount of input often needed to produce a stable hover or a hovering f8. I don't think you need to go to the lengths of having a dedicated server just a bunch of pilots with the necessary to produce some recordings. Lets face it it's not going to take much effort to cover the basics.

sounds a good idea - especially somethings like walk throughs on the BMFA A & B tests!

Its the choice of the members really what they would like to do - personally...

I would have thought either a new forum for files only like we do for vbar setup files.

V-Bar Setup's - RcHeliaddict

We have the downloads system also that again could have Phoenix files.

Links and Downloads Manager - RcHeliaddict

It would be good to see a dedicated Phoenix server though but for keeping files in one place then I don't see any better place than here to be honest.

I think this is a superb idea. But i do think a volunteer to moderate the submissions, and upload the files would be a good idea.

I think hundreds of files doing similar/the same things with different models will just become honorus for the user.

I can see this getting out of control very quickly, but similarly will great resource, especially if you can capture stick movements...

Dont think Phoenix do dedicated :/, even if someone *cough bolders* set one up, max 8 flyers :/.

A better idea would be to have an FAQ section, in that section have one 'index' page to every FAQ there is.

Within that FAQ would be the Phoenix demos. There are already a few about, I have ones from Richie Clark, jamiem, Matt Lodge and Ash Davis (i think)

I agree that this site is the best place for keeping the phoenix .pxr files.

For those talking about a dedicated gaming server for phoenix - There is not one available at this time. I enquired about it a while ago as I have a file server that is on all the time on which I wanted to host one on.

here is the post

I have yet to email the creators of phoenix to ask if there is a dedicated server planned although I will eventually get round to it. I would suggest all those who are interested should also email as they are more likely to take the request seriously if more people ask.
The net performance may also be better if it is being run on a dedciated pc rather than one which is also running the phoenix game.

Almost a RC Heli 101 area? With info, advise and links to various resources? inc. Phoenix demos... etc

[Stuart]

FAQ is a royal pain to use - its cumbersome and not very well developed by vbulletin tbh I think its a shame but I have plans this year to upgrade to this new version so it would be better to keep in the forums format to transpose across easier.

I agree that this site is the best place for keeping the phoenix .pxr files.

I didn't really think about it until it was pointed out that there were already pxr files on the forum.

My company looks after servers in data centres amongst other things, so it's no great shakes to arrange some file space and bandwidth at no cost, which is all I was volunteering to do. If a moderated set of demonstrations is going to be put up on the forum, with tutorials, that's an even better idea. I think the main thing is to make sure something happens and it does not just become another good idea that was not followed up. I will hang fire and see what happens as I don't want to tread on anyone's toes here.

The net performance may also be better if it is being run on a dedciated pc rather than one which is also running the phoenix game.

Do you have a broad band router in the corner of your house? Is it a tiny little box with a tiny CPU? That's the about the amount of processing power you need to run the comms in an online game like Phoenix. The benefit of a dedicated game server comes from having it connected to the internet by a symmetrical interface with at least 10x the upload bandwidth of a broad band line.

Sorry, I get a bit geeky when people start talking about networks

I have that fig 8, but as I said, it is a FF figure 8, not a walking pace 'lazy 8' called for in the A cert. If that is suitable for the A cert then I could pass mine today.
