How can I activate the FPS displayed? Can't find this option under view.

Ensonic, i had to download the update a couple of times before i got the new view options and they have posted this statement on the website

Please note that we are experiencing some problems with our download server due to high volumes of traffic.

Don't see the Honey Bee King model on the download page. Must have been removed.

Same here, just installing the update will give it a go now. I love Phoenix, all these awesome updates! :D Ahh well it seems to work great! Haven't tested it much yet, just a standard fly. Seems smoother now. I love the FPS counter!

If anyone has downloaded the HBK Model File, would you mind sending it my way. I am very interested in getting ahold of that model.

I would send it to you, but when I d/l'd it I selected "run" which I assume downloads it to a temp file which is then deleted. If you can explain where to find the file I will email it to you.

You don't really need to find the installation file. Just zip up a copy of the Esky Honeybee King 2 folder, which should be found under the following path, if you installed it in the default location:
C:\Program Files\PhoenixRC\resources\objects\aircraft\helicop ters\Electric\

I'm just wondering why Phoenix would delete this model from the download page. Does it fly properly at all?

Sent you a PM with an upload link to my server. I can host the file for the guys here if you can upload it to my server.

[Steel Butcher]

OK, I uploaded the files to your server.:lol:

The sport version flys just fine, the base version seems to have a touchy gyro (maybe not HH). They are fun to fly and more stable than the Spark.

I would imagine Phoenix will repost them with a fix, unless it was a copyright issue!

[gregwee]

You can now download the ESky HoneyBee King2 models on my server at: http://ares.locusin.com/phoenix/

There are two zip files. One is the standard yellow canopy, and the other has a white canopy. Simply unzip both folders under the following path: C:\Program Files\PhoenixRC\resources\objects\aircraft\helicop ters\Electric, then start Phoenix, and you will be able to access them.

Thanks for uploading and hosting the model guys. Got it.

Just thought I'd post to let everyone know that Phoenix has put the ESky HoneyBee King2 back on their download page here (http://www.phoenix-sim.com/downloads.htm).
