Regards, Szymon B Any word on why the sale of XTR to someone else? I won't be paying 20 euros for updates that used to be free!

Today, 20 EURs are about $29 US dollars. Not sure if I would spring for that or not, especially not knowing what the upgrade would bring.

Reflex Xtr Dongle

I still despise the red bars of death that are behind the pilot. If the new owners got rid of those, I probably would drop RF 3.5 and go back to XTR. I stopped using XTR more than a year ago due to the arrogant replies of some of those 'involved' with XTR, especially one reply that dealt with those red bars. I was told to go somewhere else for fix if I really wanted one. So I went to RF 3.5 Perhaps the new owners will have a nicer disposition and will put more effort into the software and what the users are requesting and not into a fancy 'star wars' controller. Oh well, Louie, still bending the truth? Who actually said Reflex XTR was sold?

You stopped using XTR neither due to the red bars nor due to my posts. You were the only one being arrogant, talking people out of Reflex XTR and calling others a fool or a kid. I'm not involved with Reflex, as obviously you are not involved with Reflex, but may well be you are involved with other simulators. Don't confuse things and timing!

Your arrogant gig was and my explanation of the red bars was. Only you pretended disliking Reflex due to my posts. But maybe the confusion is intended.

I hope you get at least paid for spreading your poison here. Still arrogant I see, BurkhardE. Especially as I never mentioned you.

The first OP is the one that mentioned that XTR had changed owners. I asked if there was a reason for the product being sold. I have never bent the truth about XTR. However I can say this, I am not the only one that did not appreciate the arrogance of some of those involved with XTR. You should invite everyone to read the entire thread. Then the real truth comes out about arrogance. I hope who ever owns XTR does well with it.

The red bars are where club fields have the no-fly-zones. There is, in my opinion, nothing silly with that.

In reality, flying over those areas: 1. Will be danegrous, beacause clubs have those zones where the people and pilots are. Will result in cancelling your club membership (and/or AMA membership etc.). It's worth to note that in many sceneries avalaible on the Internet you don't have those bars. For me this option is very good, because it teaches you where flying is not safe.

But I agree - this option could be made as removable. Reagrds, Szymon B. I to find the red and white hatching fine - It is after all a simulator, and as such is a training aid. As I see it the enforcement of no fly zones is only beneficial in training good etiquette - and enabling flights to be worked out that won't get you banned if you try them in reality.

Returning to the matter at hand - does anyone know if the new version works with the old cables/dongle, and if you need the original installed. The reason I ask is because I have lost the original CD, and the machine I had it and the then free updates instsalled on fried itself, so I have lost the software, but still have the hardware. I'm sure I could 'obtain' a copy of the old software from a torrent site or something and then patch it, but I'd rather keep it all legal if possible.

Armchair Flying - Is It As Good As The Real Thing? Reflex - XTR Model Flight Sim By Steve Broughton Introduction I've been thinking about purchasing a proper model flight simulator for ages, ever since I got the EasyFly freebie with the Ikarus Piccolo helicopter I bought in 2003. I've been using the free FMS sim for a while now, and although it is good, it doesn't quite have the REAL feel to it. It was only recently, that I had a go on the Aerofly Pro Deluxe and I must say, I was very impressed. As all regulars of FS know, my area of R/C flying is slope soaring. Sadly, the Aerofly currently doesn't cater for slope soaring, but the Reflex XTR does. So, What Do You Get?

Er…not a lot! On opening the box, you get a big shock, as there are only three things included! A CD-Rom, an adaptor dongle, and the lead for your chosen Tx.

You have to state your correct Tx make and model when ordering. Installing the software is a doddle, as we've come to expect from the Windows operating system.

My first word of warning here though, is to make sure your PC system requirements, match those of the minimum's needed to run 'XTR'. If you buy this Sim, and your system DOESN'T meet the minimum requirements you won't get a refund (due to piracy laws). My second word of warning, is that you will need to use an unused memory on your computer Tx, in order to fly with this sim!

I tried flying the sim whilst I was still in my 'Mini Weasel' set-up but it wasn't having any of it. I expect the older, non-computerised Tx's will be fine, as long as all trims, etc are set to neutral. I myself used my current Tx, which is the Hitec Optic 6. There is no instruction manual included with the Sim, as I assume the manufacturers expect anyone using this to have a reasonable knowledge of PC's already. All the same, an instruction manual would be nice.

I'm not complaining, these are just things I feel you need to know! Before I go any further, I want to apologise for the quality of the included photos. These are genuine shots from my PC screen, and don't really give you the impression of how good the screen graphics really are! So What's It Like Then? Before you attempt to fly, you'll need to calibrate your transmitter to the software. This only takes a minute or two.

Once that is done, you can then choose your scenery and model. The scenery is photo-realistic, and very striking to the eye.

Being German, the scenery is named in German. So it takes a little time to find the scenery you like. All the airfields included, are grass strips (apart from the slope site). The photo below, shows an Extra 320 ticking over, ready to taxi out. The feel of the models is unbelievably realistic. The ground handling is superb, as the models bounce around as they hit undulations in the grass.

If you fly too low, you can hit trees and even the fences! In the air, the models react just like they would in real life. The only downside here is that the crashes aren't realistic, unlike the Aerofly Pro. This is the only area that lets this Sim down. The crash performance!

Aerobatics are very crisp, as you'd expect, and some of the sounds used…really add to the illusion of being at the flying site. I do find that the 4-Stroke engine doesn't sound very realistic.but most of the 2-Strokes do.

This photo (right), shows the Extra 320 in a dive the scenery quality is that good, you really do forget that you are sitting at a PC! There are many variables you can alter too, including wind and flying conditions, as well as being able to alter the set-up of each model. The scene left is the slope soaring one. The model shown is a Tragi 703vs designed for F3F (slope speed) racing, and is a free download.

The feel is very realistic, and if set up correctly, will fly very fast, just like the real thing. In the simulation menu, you can set up wind speeds, vertical wind speeds and thermal strength.

This adds up to very realistic flight angles, and well as testing your skills through turbulence! The photo right is one of the included models, a large Katana S. If you get some of the models close enough to you, you can actually see the servos and R/C gear through the canopy! And for the electric buffs amongst us, there are numerous electric models to keep you amused.

The one pictured below, is a Raven 'Shockie'. As well as fixed wing models, there is also a nice selection of helicopters included too, see below Here are just a few of the models I've been able to download. The Pulse-jet model is fast, and like the real model only has fuel for about 4 minutes of flying. The Kangaroo on the other hand, is rather sluggish in flight, unlike the real thing. The Zlin is nice to fly, and sounds awesome The photo below, shows another Katana S…This could almost be you club site in the summer! So To Conclude Overall, this Sim is brilliant…and is well worth the investment.

But I feel that there is still room for improvement, in particular, realism of crashes and extra scenery, but these are minor gripes. The software is easy to use, and the quality of the flight graphics, is breath-taking to say the least. My rating 97%. Additional free scenery and models are available from www.rc-sim.de (you need to register with this site, to download stuff, but membership is free).

That said, I have found that some of the free downloads don't work…but try anyway. The Reflex XTR is available from all good leading model shops (check websites, or the modelling press for the most up to date prices). Minimum Requirements Includes: USB interface unit compatible with the most popular Transmitters such as Futaba, JR, Hi-tec, Sanwa and Multiplex. PC Pentium 4 1200 MHz 256 MB RAM 1 GB available hard disk CD drive USB port R/C transmitter with student or DSC socket of at least 4 channels Operating system Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000 and XP DirectX 8.1-capable 3D hardware accelerated video card with at least 32 MB video ram - AGP2x or better. Shared RAM is not supported. Likes Dislikes.

Fantastic graphics. Easy to use, and set-up.

Excellent flight model realism. A great learning and teaching tool. Very good value for money. Ideal for rainy days!. Crash realism needs improving. More standard scenery options needed Please mention Flying Sites when contacting your Reflex XTR Dealer &.
