phoenix and wind

[jseeker101]

hi,

i have been playing with phoenix for a while now. in my limited experience with G4, there is a field that has a wind sock i find very useful. is there a setting for phoenix to 'turn on' for wind sock? i toggle wind on and off often for practice. i would like to know the behavior of the heli base on wind direction and strength.

also, i know people are able to hover within say... 3 ft circle... if i turn on landing area in options, i can keep in the biggest outer circle 80% of the time. i can last a while with out crashing, but, heli is all over the place. i just can't get the feel of travel direction of the heli. i always have to make large corrections just to keep the heli is stationary so, eventually, it see saw it self out of whack. is there any hints tips?

thanks

You can turn on the wind sock on most any feild. Go to "View" and click show wind sock.
