Gliders on Phoenix

[Leebert]

Has anyone got the gliders / slopes / weather to work realistically on Phoenix?

Mrs Leebert wants to practise some sloping moves but the gliders / slopes on phoenix don't seem to fly right no matter what weather conditions I set.

Has anyone got any weather / model tweaks they can suggest please?

Many thanks.

I kind of gave up them Lee, best bet is to get CRRCsimWiki : Home Page installed and get a 4 quid USB adapter from ebay. Then you can F3F as well as tootle around...

I find the gliders tend to just about cross the hill and not climb much. There is the odd kick of lift at one corner, but it isnt like the real thing at all....

I have never seen thermals either despite having the view enabled.

crrc is still the best, not perfect but its damn good and free. I used a ripmax lead that plugged in the joystick port. I think they did a usb joystick version later.

You need to make them often and big, then they work, one of the only glider bits that does work, but its not that good.

Thanks guys - such a pity Phoenix haven't bothered to get the gliders to work better. Might as well not bother with them as they are utter shite for sloping. I had forgotten about Crrc. I'll dig it out again
