Phoenix Sim Advanced, Intermediate or Beginner?

[Surinder Singh]

When flying Phoenix Sim do most of you guys have your models set at Advanced, Intermediate or Beginner?

What would you guys say that these settings would equate to in a real world scenario, in regards to pitch, expo setup etc.. on your actual machines?

For example would Beginner equate to +10/-10 lowish head speed high expo and Advanced equal +13/-13 high head speed low expo?

I'm planning spending a lot more time on the sim while the weather is crap.

I'd like to settle on some settings and put in some serious sim time. Some advice from some seasoned pros would be most welcome.

I would say adjust it until it feels like it's got a bit of power. I normally set the models to around 75%. The 50% is nowhere near correct

Thanks Waveydavey, I'd like to hear from more of you guy's.

I've been flying at 100% advanced on all the sim models and I don't know if this is the right way to go?

Recently while practicing inverted hovering I've even turned up the simulation speed to 120 which is the max to make things even harder. When I then go to fly my MCPX, Trex450 pro or 550 they seem to move as if in slomo. Do any of you guys use this method for training ?

May be this is bad as the actual roll and turn rates on my real machines will be way off and introduce timing issues in some manoeuvres.

Do any of you guys that fly 3d think that Phoenix set at 100% is in any way accurate to flying on your actual models that are set up for 3d flight?

It's close enough to say "if you can do it on Phoenix you should be able to do it for real"

Just do it waaaaay up the first few times. Not like me last weekend.

Oh I just re-read your post.... no I don't turn stuff up to max. Just try and make it as real as possible but each to their own whatever works for you.

[Surinder Singh]

Thank you for your response Swashbuckler.

What setting do you consider realistic?

I'm really hoping some more of the 3d guys will chime in.
