New model available

[Kozmyk]

Oops !! Hit a tree at the airfield.

BTW which airfield is that in the real world ?

Hah! Found it ... the hard way.

Could of done a search here of all the Phoenix threads, thought I had but obviously not.
Traced it through plane registration letters.

Helluva thing insomnia.

As has been said several times before - if you want a specific model on the simulator, instead of complaining that it is missing, take the photos of it (per the instructions on the Phoenix website) and send them in.

I realise it's not that easy unless you have both the model and a reasonably good camera, of course

I've done this for a couple of heli's, and will be doing some more as well
Cheers,
Rob

I was under the impression that Ash was already working with Phoenix to do the Velocity 50, if I knew he wasn't I would have done mine when I had the heli.

I will do some for the Srimok E!!

Superb idea Ben.
Anyone done the 600 le canopy yet?

[Jamin_00]

E-mail sent to them and I will get the pics soon.

There is some threads on HF where you can download schemes such as the LE for Phoenix.

I have loads of custom canopies etc on Phoenix, I'm even more of a whore on there than Tom is

Understand that and yes i could send photo's but what i'm after is the model flight dynamics as well as apposed to just something that looks like what i want.

I'm sorry, but the last 2 flight releases have been a an electric funjet and one of those crappy coaxial cheapos. I really dont see the point on the multiple models that cost less than phoenix to begin with being created.

Not aimed at you specifically

I have also asked about this very thing in my email

Understood, of course
Once Phoenix have the right photos, they can build the model for the simulator and then get it out to someone who knows how that model truly flies, so they can set it up on the simulator. That's the theory anyway!

The likes of the mSR and so on are appearing probably because of the Horizon distribution deal, I imagine.

I will get photos of the Srimok nitro organised (as I have one) - I said I was going to do this ages ago, but as ever, I've simply not had time

But I will...

Cheers Rob only way im gonna
ever get to fly one lol

Last two releases have been a performance nitro heli (Ely Q Vision .50) and an EDF (Parkzone Habu) - hardly a cheapo coax or cheapo funjet... The previous two releases were a Blade SR (admittedly cheaper, but still not a coax) and the Multiplex Funjet (granted, this is covered by "electric funjet"). There isn't even a coax listed on their news page, as far as January 5th.

If they don't have the information for an aircraft, how are they supposed to model it? Pictures only help halfway, and as such they can only provide an approximation until they get their hands on it, or people give them feedback on how it flies - as far as I can tell, they seem to be fairly open to this sort of feedback, when people are willing to give it, rather than keep it to themselves.

Only in the UK can we complain about something we are given for free.

And only in the uk are their people that pick apart peoples opinions to highlight generalised flaws in order fuel an argument for self satisfaction of prooving a point and missing the overall point ! ! ! ! !

I've not updated for a while so YES they probably are the latest two models but my last two were a funjet and Blade SR at the time.

The BladeSR i consider a toy and became popular by being such, and you'd have to agree that there are too many of this type of model in a "professional model flying simulator"

If they don't have the information for an aircraft, how are they supposed to model it?

If they dont have access to the aircraft how did they ever develop models to begin with. Research thats how and market research and ongoing R&D and one would assume they worked with manufacturers and pilots before release.

True, but by welcoming feedback a uniform method of doing so needs to be approached to actively source this information. Granted anyone can send emails in but its the structure and usability of the content that would make it worthwhile needs to be looked at if that is the way its done.

See above but its not for free. Part of paying for the software is for the continuing development of models, flight characteristics, software updates etc etc.


So are we saying then that, people who have or want a Srimok are happy flying a model that looks like a Srimok or they think looks like a Srimok but never actually developed as such ? ? ? ?

I diddnt think so !

[LipolyGone]

Hmmm can remember paying £79.99
for my copy maybe you should let us
know how we can get it for free
still cant complain bout my copy
best £79.99 i ever spent still using it
many years after telling an american forum how good
it was and getting flamed for promoting it
