Questions about phoenix

[quillair]

Hi,

I've just recieved phoenix a few days ago and tried the online multiplayer today. I just have a few questions.
1. How do you type when your online?, What command is it to bring up the text bar?
2. Is it possible to get your own models created for phoenix? - I fly Fixed wing F3A and would quite like to have some sort of pattern ship on it for practice. If its not possible then no worries.

Also I find that with most of the fixed wing, when your travelling quite slowly you still have the same amount of control authority as when your travelling quickly which isn't the case in real life. This is especially noticeable with the elevator.

Awesome sim by the way!

1 press c to bring up the text box and type away then hit return to post.
2 on the phoenix web site there is a contact section to send your model details to and instructions on how to do it

"fixed wing" "contol" ???? speak english man!

Hi Quillair, Which Aircraft do you think have to much authority when flying slow?? any that stick in your mind more than others? the 3D planes do fly like that as do mine in real life, let me know which.

Please do get your pics done as we want a few F3a aircraft, get the best quality your cam will do!, and follow the instructions on the website.

Did you see the new list of features on the website for v1.04???
Lots of great stuff

When's it due Jim???

And whats happened to these new aircraft that were coming out??

[Cossie]

I love Phoenix, its cool, and the creators are tops

Keep the updates coming guys.

[Ade_Law]

they are being worked on. Some will be relased before 1.04 however some of them have to wait until after due to the improvements in the physics.

Questions about Phoenix

Thanks everybody for the replies.

Jim, There wasn't really any specific one I had in mind its just that usually to get the same amount of control authority when going slowly you'll have to rev the engine a bit to get the prop draft going over the surfaces. However, I only have small 3d planes(eg. Funtana 50) so I don't know if the bigger caps/extras/yaks are like that.

I'll take as many picutres as I can following the website and try to give you as many measurements as I can aswell. I take it that when the website says measurement in 3d. Its wanting something like the height and width of the fuselage and stuff like that?

The 1.04 uddate does look awesome, Can't wait!

cheers

Quillair, I understand what you are saying, the slower you fly the less roll rate you have and the faster you fly the faster roll rate you have,,,,,,unless you have crap servos,,,,in which case it is reversed

I have also noticed the why some of the aircraft fly too well

Real life example,
It is calm day, your on finals and out of no were the left wing drops form a nasty crosswind guest, but you battle on, fighting to keep her straight a level on that approach and then as you go to flair just before touch down you get hit by a head on breeze a balloon back up into the air followed by cross wind gust which makes the wing tip land first followed by the rest of the plane .................SIDEWAYS

Point I am making (and it is not a complaint) is the Sim is only a training aid (probably the best virtaul one) and is like that of a contra rotating heli, it gives you the basic idea and feel of what it should be like.

Bit like flying a Bell Heli in MS Flight Sim with all the realism turned on, You would still crash and burn in the real thing if you had never flown the real thing before.

Give it some aileron into inverted, bump the elevator and chuck it into a prophang

Then go round and land again! LOL
