Phoenix the best sim?

In reply to your post Graham, I accept that with a bit of effort I'll get the functions up and running okay with the aid of your link, nice one buddy. As for the display set up, tried as many different ones as are available, still unrealistic for my peepers. Must add though that having had several goes on my sons which has a 40" screen to run on, does improve matters, just not enough.

Fair enough

TBH using the 450 on Phoenix is a bit crap as its too small. Better to fly a 50 size or above rather than choosing to fly the heli you have

I've been flying for a few months now. Nearly all indoors (every time I go outside, I bin it) with 200 and 450 class electrics. I've been hitting a bit of a block of late, not really wanting to push things, or try new stuff. I was advised to buy a sim (not had one before) I got a copy of phoenix, installed it a couple of nights ago and had to learn to hover all over again... go figure. I like it, have been throwing different models about and crashing a lot but yeah, been trying new stuff. I think a lot depends on the pc you're running phoenix on, mines past its sell by date doesn't have a lot of ram and the graphics card is pony. I'd like to see what it's like on a quality pc

Absolutely agree there my friend, with a 600 on a big screen it's most do-able, ( is that a word ? ) Purely subjective, as I've said before, just doesn't do it for me is all.

Go 50" then

I hooked mine up to my 50" samsung the other day, was great. It does 2D-3D conversion too actually, not as good as native 3D but quite good all the same... Need to give that a try next time!
