Ok, so I bought myself Phoenix to practice with over the winter. Good choice too, since we have the most snow on the ground I have seen in quite a few years!

A quick question regarding the Logo 500 model. When I fly the Trex 450 it pretty much flies the way my real one does. For any of you who have a Logo 500, does the simulator model fly similar to the real thing? If so, that is one SMOOOOOOTH bird, and I think I have to have one. Well, either that or a Protos.....

Cheers.

I've only flown the extreme version. I'd say at least compared to my flies fairly accurate in it's movement physics but is slow on cyclic speed and power. Both of these characteristics can be bumped up in settings though. Of course these all depend on how you have the real one setup as well. Another thing is the tail is real soft in it's stock form. If you interested I can PM you the settings i've been able to come up with that are fairly close to how mine feels.

Why don't you just post them here so everybody can see them. If not I would like to have them to. Pm me.

Thanks

I'd like to see them too. Hopefully the 500 will be my next purchase (or the Outrage 550).

Motor Power 2.5kw
Rotor RPM 2350
Cyclic Rate 130%
Dampning 0.6
Tail Power 120% (still not razor sharp like the vbar)
Cyclic servo speed 1.2
Collective servo speed 1.2
Tail servo speed 1.2

Thank you very much. Now if somebody will get a tune up for the 500 , I would be a happy pappy :-)

Excellent comments on the feel vs. real. I found exactly the same about the tail - it holds like crap compared to the real (VBar) thing. It seems to be close on cyclic, but still not enough power either.

I look forward to trying your settings, although I just shut down and rebooted into Mac, so no more sim for me tonight!
