I ordered my Phoenix from UK 3/24 and it just arrived - fast

I did not realize it did not come with a radio - I want to save my DX7 for real flying - I have the real flight G4 radio, A CX2 Radio, An Art-tech Falcon 3d radio, a Esky Honey Bee radio - can any of these be used to run P. Sim - if so will the included adaptor work? If not, can you recommend the most cost effective radio to get.
Thanks for advice.

Phoenix should plug straight into your CX2 radio, but I would use my DX7

[princew]

Yeah definately. If you have a DX7 pop that sucker in and use that. Plus it works directly with the cable that came with the sim.

[mkoutnik]

I agree...why wouldn't you use your DX7. You should want to practice with the radio you usually fly with. I use my DX7 with Phoenix and it's awesome.

I use my DX7, and like the others said its great:clappp

[jnich]

ok, ok I'll use the DX7

I loaded the sim - sort of dissappointed - does not seem to have very many helis and no slow plankers - choices seem limited

Also my heli are acting funny - like the rudder is way to soft - I let go to center stick and it keeps spinning 3/4 of a turn - guess I just need to play - and could not get the trex to lift off and idle up is not working

[Ecaf]

Huh? No so many helis? You have visited the download section right? http://www.phoenix-sim.com/downloads.htm
I count 15 down loadable heli models not including the ones that ship with the sim.

Quite a few airplane downloads also.

As for the rudder being soft. I have never had that issue with mine running the DX7. You are using a non-CCPM setup on your DX7 correct?

[jnich]

I'll visit the site - I gather that I need to set up a new model on my DX7 for the sim and turn off ccpm - I did nothing to even change my current model which is a planker - I thought I read that the software uses its own settings and ignores the DX7's just to get to the sticks and switches - like I said, I just need to play I have a G4 and after reading this forum thought I may have a better, more real experience with Phoenix - I have not given up.
Thank You

If you have CCPM enabled, that will cause all sorts of problems. I have a specific memory location on my DX7 that I use for the sim. Set it once and leave it.

I assume you have updated to the latest version of Phoenix? The newer software has really nice TX configuration when you first start it up. If you do have the latest version and havent gone through it yet, you might want to consider it.
