Jeff,

I believe you must be the local RF6 expert so I have another question for you.

How can I turn the sun off?

Thanks,

Frank

Photofield? You can't. 3D field? I forget. Hit h (I think) for help. It's in there.


Here's a pic that shows the controls

Anyone happen to know where to get some quad models (X config) for the FMS?

I think this is an appropriate question to ask here.

Where can I find a simulator where I can test fly an RC Parafoil, has anyone ever found one as a model on one of the simulators mentioned above.

I would also be interested in an Ornithopter sim.

Hope someone can help

Regards

Eccles

All you need to do is download the free trial to see if Real Flight 6 will work with your computer. You can download the demo here:

http://realflight.com/free-rf6-demo.html

Not all the planes, helis, and features are available on this download (for obvious reasons), it's just to see if it'll work on your computer only. When you buy the full RF6 all the options will be unlocked.

It'll run RF fine. You probably have more than I have for my copy of RF6. If you ever want even better performance, you would get a better video card. That's totally up to you.

hey jeff, i probably will uprade very soon. im purchasing this pc from a trusted source. thanks bro!

I just bought a Dynam Catalina and I would like to try Clearview simulator. Would my stock Dynam transmitter work with it and what cable would I need? I have windoows Vista.

I brought a Esky EK2-0905A FMS compatible sim off ebay many years ago. The problem I am facing is that the new computers I have do not support its running with the latest microsoft excell, vista or windows 7. I have looked on the FMS website for upgrades but it seemed not to work or it was something that I was doing wrong. I am not tech savvy but would like to get it up and running as its been awhile since I was behind the sticks.

Any help would be appreciated with this small problem.

Cheers Shane.

I would definitely stay away from Real Flight Basic
(I started a thread - well, actually two...- about this in the KnifeEdge forum)

The software is ok and does everything it is expected to do, but as far as I am concerned the dedicated controllers they sell with the Basic are jut plain crap. I had two of them go out of order in the span of one year, the first one less than two months after I bought it, and still covered by the warranty, on the RH stick, the second one about 9 months after I got the replacement (November 2011), on the LH stick

Both controllers were well cared for, used on a fixed place, and I am the only user.

As is usually the case, you get what you pay for...

G.

To be fair, you are the only one with the complaint. I don't think they are all defective. There'd be post after post from many users if that was the case.

Murocflyer,
Very nice thread. Thank you.

Two things were mentioned in this thread. One had to do with being able to test the different flight sims. I was able to do so at a local Hobby Shop. RC6 and Phoenix. Both worked fine for me. The difference to me was price and price. Initial cost and upgrade cost. I went with Phoenix.

The other thing was Phoenix came with a Spectrum DX5e which is an actual transmitter.
Not bad. I can use it with my DLG. Personally, I'd prefer to use a xmitter that I will use while flying.

I've been away from the hobby for many years and want to get back into sail planes and pattern. I have two older computer futaba's and bought a Turnigy 9x. I used to program my gliders for camber, crowe, take off and landing configuration. Phoenix planes are obviously advanced enough to use these mixing functions so my plan is to use computer radios to practice without augering an expensive plane and get back into the grove. That will happen just as soon as I can find out what I need to be able to program the xmitter into phoenix sim on my computer.

Keep up the good work and Thanks again!
Bob
