Simon.... very nice! Nice slow smooth turns and your orientation is really improving with each of those nose in hovers you do. I've still only done a short hover with mine and then the weather went sour. Looks oK right now, so I'm charging my sunglasses cam. We'll either get a hover or a crash... either would be exciting. LOL

"Brian eat your heart out"??????? Grrrrrrrrrr
Hehe

Glad your new charger is working well.
so far so good

Upside is on a weekend you can charge at 1.5C!
Hmmm toasty!

Disco nap time and will watch the other vids!
lazy b*gger - more naps than a cat!

Magic sez: im gonna order some of those nanotechs soon,,can charge nice rates like 5 to 10c depending what mah they are

Yes I was tempted & they seem to be getting good reviews. However tightness prevailed and I ordered Zippy 25C's

Best to all

Simon

A charge rate of 10c sounds great until you look up how much a power adapter costs to provide the amperage.

10c for a 2200mah is 22 amps. If you were looking for a straight 300 watt ac adapter capable of doing that you'd wind up paying a small fortune.

Easiest way to do it is to buy a pc power supply and modify it. You'll need a single rail 300w minimum power supply.

Here's a thread detailing how to modify the power supply.

Here's a listing on newegg for 300 to 350 watt power supplies with a single 12v rail.

The helicopter itself is rendered in 3d, but the background images are all panoramic photographs as Magic said. Almost all of your modern sims use them. It allows them to make a much more detailed model while at the same time using relatively low gpu usage.

I've got Phoenix turned up to its highest possible settings in order to look like that. I have vsync turned on, so my frames per second are limited to 60 in it. It never drops below that unless recording with fraps (which limits the fps to 29.97 while it records).

I'll record some video of me flying in Phoenix later with floats and landing on a lake. The lake itself is rendered and has ripple effects.

My laptop isnt very good so i notice a slight problem when im in water sites,i just keep my site quality down to medium and flight phisics up on max,the new beta version has the scale wizard,myself and puzum requested that option a few months ago and they said they would include it in the next version,,,and they did!!! COOL,was well chuffed when i saw it in the beta.
