Hey all, I managed to get a copy of phoenix sim on the week end and am really enjoying myself.
Firstly, the sim looks awsome but as far as the flying goes I'm having some issues. either my trex450 is set up really wrong or there is something wrong with the sim(maybe I calibrated it wrong). Besides for the fact that all the sticks do the same things they are totally different.
Things that are different:
1. On my trex, the throttle is way more sensitive. In the sim I can punch the throttle full positive and sit back and kick my feet up while I watch the heli slowly lifting, in real life it will be a matter 1-2 seconds and the heli will be a tiny dot in the sky. forward flight also seems slow.
2. There is something strange with autorotations. I can gain some altitude, turn on throttle hold, put the stick to full negative (with my curves it should only be about -2 or -3) and the heli will drift down so slowly that I can land it without even putting some positive when I get close to the ground. I have to really concentrate one landing perfectly.
3. Full negative (once again -2 or -3 .... 40 on the curve) does not give me nearly the same effect I have in real life, in real life the heli will slam down into the ground, on the sim it slowly drifts down. Come to think of it, I cant get close to full negative in real life before the heli starts dropping like a rock.
4. When turning/banking in real life I will start gaining altitude as soon as I go into the turn. On the sim, as soon as I go into the turn the heli starts falling to the ground almost as if I went into the turn without any speed.
5. In terms of speed I fly at 125 sim speed with full throttle and it seems closer to real life than anything else.
6. every now and again when I load a default model it cant fly, it spools up slowly and just as its about to lift, it tears apart into a million pieces.
I use the same curves as I do in real life [pitch - 40; 45; 50; 75; 100 / Throttle - 0; 60; 80; 90; 100]. Some of the issues are sorted out when I disable the gonvenor, but then the tail wags like crazy
Lastly, I just want to stress the fact that I'm not trying to slam phoenix here, I'm simply trying to sort out some issues I have.
Any suggestions? Should I maybe try a complete fresh resetup, on the pc and on the transmitter?
I dont know

Edit: Looking at this post now I realise how long it is, sorry for that, but I just spent a lot of money (for me at least) on this sim and I want to make it work for me
