Yeah! Same here!I have tried to udate to 3.0 and it kicks me out of phoenix everytime. I tried also to download a couple planes and that did not work either. i saw on another forum(heli freaks)that this was as much an issue in 2008!!! So, I went to the Phoienix site and as I write this I am downloading the update from THERE. it is a race with my toenails growing...and right now my toenails are winning. The download is 190 meg and it is 'proceeding' at a megaslow 20k. Phoeniz needs to get on this issue. I have NO kind of problems with other things. for $129.00 clams for a cd...I am a bit miffed i cannot even upgrade or download the planes.

I just got mine three days ago. I like it ...but I don't think I would have bought it had I known how lame the upgradability is. I would have hooked up some servos to my ferrets and enjoyed THAT for much less $$$.

I will let you know how(or even IF) the down'slowed' works.
