Teranslational lift in Phoenix

[moyesboy]

All of the heli models do not exhibit enouigh translational lift
Some of the heli models do not exhibit enough translational lift
The translational lift is realistic

This refers to v1.03.c
Before expressing an opinion make sure you are on this latest version!
Translational lift was increased a bit compared to the earlier version, and also the earlier version FFF speed was strangely limited.

Hi

Don't know which version of the sim you have but there was a slight cocked on the translational lift in the sim for a short while, Phoenix fixed this a month or so back so you might have to download a later version.

Cheers

edited my post to include version.
Mayber the arctic air up 'ere in t'north combined with shed loads of wind make for added translational lift! Though its still lifting on the downwind leg too!

Don't know about "all models in Phoenix", since I haven't flown anything bigger than a mini heli, so for all I know bigger helis aren't supposed to exhibit as much translational lift. However the Trex 450 and Spark definitely have too little translational lift compared to my real models.

interesting thread guys i will look into it.

its such a hard thing to quantify!
