turn the simm speed up

[challis349]

i turned wind on and sim speed up to full, is it best to use on 125% or something a bit more "normal"

I had issues with version 3 and had to re-install back to version 2.5, but really want to give it another go. Can I upgrade from version 2.5 straight to version 3C or do I need to update version 3A & B first ?
Thanks, Mike.

a and then it does b and c automatically, its quite good really for a beta, make sure it downloads all 133mb, also mine downloaded a direct x update as it was installing, and went without a hitch, flybarless and a velo 50 woohoo!!

Helis do seem easier to fly and still float too much. They should up the gravity or make it adjustable to give the feeling of more weight

[Planehazza]

So you'll be buying the velo 50 then huh Kev?

cupracing, its not that simple as you adjust one thing it will throw something else out of whack your right tho, there is something wrong its not the gravity tho.

Not bothered upgrading yet as I don't do PC problems at the best of times and if the online has been broken in the upgrade I'll stick with what I know

All the models I've looked at so far have been set to intermediate setup in the Simple Edit section.
That knocks back throws and increases expo that I can see, probably more that I can't ...
Bumping up that Experience dial will liven things up for you.
Or you can edit them long hand as well.

I like the new editing with the tooltips for each parameter.
Much more informative.
And have you seen the Help window/pdf manual that pops up now? Loads of info.
Excellent.

Just tried the beta v3 and really like the interface.

Had an issue getting the sim going, needed to start it in 'Safe mode' so it could sort itself out, after that all is fine.

[Bruinbear]

Well I haven't had time to have a proper play yet, but I've now managed to get version 3 up and running. Thanks Stuart for the heads up posts and to all at Phoenix for the updates. As you can guess I'm a happy chappie now.
Mike.

I've just installed 3.0x and it all went fine until I tried to use it

When I try to setup my Tx(I've now tried 5 times) it all calibrates fine except for the throttle and pitch control which the Sim insists as seeing as an on/off switch which makes the whole thing unusable.

I'll be reinstalling 2.5x as soon as I can be arsed to do the multiple installs to get back up to date
