The Phoenix 1.02 update is available - i thought id point out
a few of the improvements that have made it better for me
its still not perfect but id recommend it to anyone

- All new 3D helicopter and 2/4-stroke 3D airplane sound effects
- Gyro system improved for more realistic blowouts during extreme manuevres

and heres the rest

New Features:
- Maximum recording time increased to 5 minutes.
- Phoenix now disables screensaver on startup/re-enables on exit.
- PhoenixUpdate makes updating your copy of Phoenix easier and more secure.
- New aircraft: Yak 30, B17 Flying Fortress, Extra 330 PW, ShiftRotor and others.
- Smoke activation can now be assigned to a switch or keypad number.
- Checkbox options are now inflight-tuneable.
- Starting positions and orientations can be cycled using hotkeys CTRL+P / O.

Enhancements:
- More advanced lighting system for all sceneries and models.
- Improved rotor-blur effects.
- Alpha-masking for increased background/model interaction.
- Increased silhouetting against sunshine and light-glare.
- Improved glass-reflection effects.
- Thicker and optimised smoke effects.
- Many sceneries reworked for even sharper image quality.

Helicopter dynamics:
- Improved drag-profile for greater falling speed against gravity.
- More blade flapping during extreme manuevres.
- Increased pitch-range: -13 to +13 degrees.

Fixed-wing dynamics:
- Even more realistic spin-physics for enhanced tumbling and flat-spins.
- Increased stability during prop-hanging.
- Increased inertia for greater feeling of weight.


As a TRex owner you cant get much better model than the Scythe - although it does
need tweaking on the power.
If the Synergy flies like the one on the sim then that is an amazing machine!
