I think it's on hold until a good sim can be finalized. Or accurc gets theirs fixed. Phoenix had beed having stuttering issues.

But in the meanwhile I think a Q&A Sunday would be nice.

I actually forgot that today was Sunday lmao. I have been meaning to do some testing to try and get Phoenix working (possibly on another computer and just use NDI to stream it over to my desktop to stream online, but this week has been crazy busy with working on my step dads new boat. Lots of wiring issues and other things and it has taken me all week to finish it. And just flat lost track of the days... Sorry about that. I will try my best to get the testing done with another computer running the sim and see if that is any better while we wait for AccuRC to fix their issues. Speaking of that, I actually need to reply to an email from someone at AccuRc on the issues that we are having. I completely forgot about that one as well.

Yes Q&A Sundays is also good

Yeah they rely on their users feedback for bug reporting to ensure they fix it correctly

Well, my situation is a little different from most out there that are using that Sim. For me, I rely on the multiplayer mode and right now it seems like it is in Alpha. I'm getting maybe 2FPS and the sound is absolutely horrible. However, the single player sim is absolutely fantastic. I just need for them to get the online sessions working like the regular sim then we will be back with Sim Sundays. But like I mentioned before, I'm going to try some testing to see if I can get Phoenix working like it used to. I'm really hoping they come out with a new update soon, but I'm not holding my breath...

could be more beta, as it was working before the big update. Something in the big update caused it to be broken, cause I did go online several times and it was working well. As for Phoenix there was a 6.0 update beta file for download, then they took it out, and never heard from them since. lol the bankruptcy could be a part of that

yeah pity about the updates on phoenix putting on a halt. Talk about updates Accurc just done another update and added 5 more heli models, hopefully the next update will be multiplayer.

So I installed Phoenix onto my laptop so that maybe, just maybe we could get through a Sim Sunday without a crash. Well guess what.... I have a crashed Phoenix not only on my laptop where I JUST installed it, but also on my desktop. That's right, not one, but TWO Phoenix sims crashed on my desk.... And of course AccuRC is still up to it's usual not working shenanigans. This is getting so old...

Alright everyone, I am getting some things setup for tonights Simulator Sunday. We are just going to use Phoenix again tonight since it's a little easier to setup than it is on AccuRC. We will be doing AccuRC soon though and when I say that I mean ONLY AccuRC. Not like we did last weekend and try to run both. Just too much going on there lol. I'm also going to be doing the sim on another computer and 'broadcasting' it to my main computer. Should make the stream a little better, and I must stress "a little".
So @bigone5500 @Geena @jacobcreek are all of you going to join in or are you busy? Just trying to see what we can get together in a short time. Should have done this during the week... lol.

The only simulator I have, that works on MAC, is NeXt. BTW, you might not be able to go online with Phoenix, now that they`ve discontinued it and shut the site down.

You had phoenix, what happened?
And we were on it last weekend. Servers are still up as far as I know, you just can't purchase it from them anymore. I"m looking into getting all of the files that I need to keep this sim going. Even if I have to setup a server of my own for people to fly on, it's too good of a sim to just let die.
