Post Phoenix - Where are the fixed wing?

I now have Phoenix 3.0 but neither of my e-flite planes are in the line-up.

I knew that when I bought it so no surprise. I emailed them about my particular aircraft, I was told they are working on them for release soon???

Am I the only one who thinks it strange that the fixed wing e-flite selection in Phoenix 3.0 is sparce.

On a positive note, I switched simulators from Great Planes and happy with the change. Great simulator!

Both of my models have been out for a while now and have a following. 1. Pulse XT 25e and 2. Ultrastick 25e

Just want them in the sim

Phoenix is good but very heli-centric.
That being said its still my favorite sim.

I would really love to see the E-Flite T-34 Mentor 25e in Phoenix as well. Picking up my copy later this work, have only heard good things about it from the folks at the field.

After taking a look at the Phoenix's included model list, I wouldn't say it is heli-centric, seems to be just a few more Fixed wing models than Heli models, there are a few glider models as well .

One thing worth remembering. Phoenix are based in the UK and models are often released over here later than in the US. So it's always possible they haven't even seen some of the latest models yet let alone had chance to program them into the sim .

While that certainly may be the case, they do encourage people to request models and even take photos of those models if they own them to speed up the addition process. There is a pdf guide on their site on how to take the correct photos for submission.

Request and pictures are one thing, but don't they need flight characteristics to produce an accurate representation of each model? And if they are test flying a model, they can take better pictures than we can supply.

Oh, and v3.0 has a total of 6 sailplane/glider models. Total.
