Important Information
• This update can only be used to update version 1.05.j or above. If you have an earlier version you should update to version 1.05.j before installing this update.
• If you have installed Phoenix to a location other than the default (c:/program files/PhoenixRC) you should use the change button to alter the folder when prompted.
• This update makes alterations to the physics simulation, so any variants you have created will be automatically deleted when you start the updated program the first time.
• This update will also reset your settings file in order to take advantage of the new 2.00 features, so you will need to recalibrate your transmitter and select a new control profile from the list.
