What version of Phoenix are you using?

Post by Derek »

I was on v5.0.v until I was prompted to update to v5.0.w. Ok, as usual, I click on UPDATE. It goes through the update process (download, install, etc) and then I cannot get v5.0.w to load up. I can click the icon on my Desktop....the initial screen will load and I can click on "Start PhoenixRC" and then nothing happens. Odd! I try it again and got the same result.

I ended up doing a System Restore and that brought me back to v5.0.v and it works just fine now. Has anyone updated to v5.0.w and been able to use it?

I just did the upgrade and it appears to be working. Don't have the dongle on this computer at the moment so not sure if it runs fully, but it loads up and gets to the point of saying I need ot plug in the usb adapter.

That's weird! I'll do the update to version 5.0.w this weekend and see if it will work.

Also, I am finally going to move the PC from my daughters room to my living room this weekend. I bought a new computer desk and I'll get it together this weekend and I'll get the PC moved. Then, I'll be ready for those late night sim sessions. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just updated mine to 5w but I had to do it manually.
If I clicked on update in the launcher it just sat there doing nothing.

Well, I am happy to report that I just updated the sim to 5.0.w and everything seems to be working just fine now. I flew the helicopter around and got on the multiplayer and everything is good now. Not sure what I messed up last time but its all working now. Very happy!!!
