V4 unveiled in Nurenberg

[Skipper Billy]

Looks great for people interested in FPV !!!

Well if I do give it a go I'll have to have a head cam so you can get the real Phoenix experience and then get my buddy to film it so you can appreciate the full affect. The only issue I can see is where we fly, depending on which way I run, I'll either have to swim a canal or cross the M1. Lol

That's £250 right there! Do it!

does seam to be a bit of a departure from a straightforward RC sim. but the FPV use would explain part of it.

as for upgrade and if this one is going to be chargeable, well they have always been extremely reasonable re costs in the past so hopefully they will stick to this policy and if there is just a software upgrade it will be minimal, if however it requires a completely new lead, then we could see a different story.

It does seem like a strange departure. They are basically turning it in to an expensive/complicated computer game! Let's hope there are some decent updates to the general physics, especially auto's

i think like most people will stick with version 3, don't get me wrong this looks good but i only want to keep it close to me for trying out new stuff with planks and heli's so i cant see the point in being able to fly over an ever lasting landscape, will wait till it comes out to see if want it, I'm not paying for any more PC upgrades as I've already bought a new graphics card for version to run at full specs, hope they release a new update for us lot on v3

Beta next week most likely. There will be no version 3 anymore.

[Spasmod]

A bit more info I've found

Have times demand at Phoenix and received the following reply: Hi Werner Thank you for your email. Yes, this will be a free update to your existing version. Best Regards Phoenix Support

All of the current panoramic (photo-field) sites in earlier versions will silently function perfectly in the 4.0 version. We will be working on a new, updated version of Phoenix creator in the near future. We hope to be releasing a BETA version of V4 early next week.

Couldn't agree more. Im guessing their server is very busy tonight as my download is painfully slow. What would take about 40 seconds on my connection is going to take about an hour

[BavarianRob]

I've downloaded it and I have to say the 3D landscapes are.........rubbish, they look like Delta Force Land Warrior from the 90's!

[steve g]

well in that case best i get downloading, cant belive its free, thanks for the info people, and thank you phoenix

[Sesame]

I downloaded it last night, played with the fpv for a few mins but that was all, cant say I notice much difference in normal use although I didn't have that long to play with it.

But its a big upgrade and im sure some updates/bugfixes will be following fairly soon.

Its made mine a bit jittery,even in low qaulity,wish i hadn't bothered tbh
