Last I checked p is before q. Tony needs to update!

 

[Tony]

Yup, did it and we are flying! Come join us...

 

[pvolcko]

Be there in <10 mins. Just finshed up catching up on the forum posts.

 

[Tony]

I'm still on there. Derek had to bounce for a bit but will probably be back soon.

 

[pvolcko]

Can't join, keeps telling me it is having issues connecting tot he server. odd. Never had this happen before.

 

[Stambo]

I'll be home from work in about a half hour, if you guys are still on I'll come join ya.

 

[Tony]

We will still be on. I will leave the session up for a while. Just sitting in the house flying the mSR and mCP-X right now lmao. Having a blast chasing the dog. Cat has already bounced hahaha.

Yeah, this was my error, lol. I need to tell you about my DX68, lol. Funny story!

 

[Derek]

....just having some fun...

 

[wolfman76]

had a blast man

 

[Tony]

I don't know why you all left so soon. I'm still on there hehe.

 

[Derek]

Sorry I bailed on you guys. My wife needed to go to bed and my little girl was fussing. All is well now.

I'll see you guys on the sim another time.

 

[pvolcko]

I can only sim for 30-45 minutes before I start doing stupid stuff (dumb thumbing tail in, upright hovers). It's like my sense of direction gets worse and worse as I use it. I think it's because the heli is kept centered in the view instead of moving around in the field of vision a bit. It's artificial and ends up screwing with my head a bit over the course of an hour.

 

[Tony]

Paul, click on System > Program Setup > Physics and turn down the camera speed. This will cause the helicopter to go a little slower while you are flying. Might help a little.

 

[pvolcko]

I use that for first learning a new maneuver, but can't use it much beyond that or else I end up with exaggerated control movements and I end up wasting a pack or two in RL flights taming things back down.

I actually sometimes do the opposite. I'll crank the sim speed up to 105 or 110%. Then when I fly RL it seems a bit slower so my control and reactions are much better.

 

[Tony]

No, not the simulation speed, the camera speed. The top slider is for the camera, and the bottom slider is for the simulation speed.

 

[pvolcko]

hmm.. okay. will give it a try.

 

[Derek]

ha ha ha, I just got booted from a flight session for no reason, lol. I was doing some prop hangin' and then BOOT!

So....The RCH flight session is now open and I'll leave it open all night. I may not be in the flight session all the time but I'll have the volume on my speakers up so if I hear a plane or heli flying around, I'll come check the flight session. Other than that, I'll be on the sim and off the sim periodically tonight..

Flight session name is: RC Help
password is: RCH (all caps)

 

[Tony]

Yeah, I used to boot people that used smoke and prop hung in front of the camera.

Not sure why I can't join your sessions Derek.
