Don't bother with this. Flight sims are great, but just get RealFlight. The new 5 version of Phoenix isn't that great, but they could put more effort in to getting the new models to fly realistically and it would be better, but they can't even be bothered with that. I'm done with it.
I followed the instructions to update to version 5 and love it. Must have DirectX to run. Download it from MS. Though I would like to ask questions to the tech support and there is none that I can find.
This flight sim program just went in the toilet. The very things that made this a great program have been changed to the point that I want it off my computer and all my money back. And the previous comment about support is true, it's impossible to find.
There is no way to contact this company and their website for Phoenix 4. It will not connect to the server to update to version 5. The support page links to Horizon Hobby but they say they cannot help. Wonder if this company has went bankrupt or what.
Will this run Phoenix V5.5 ?
