FS One: Features

Dont Just See It- Feel It. FS One gives you more than photorealistic fields, gorgeous skies and realistic-looking aircraft.

With FS One you get more than photorealistic fields, gorgeous skies and realistic looking aircraft. You get incredibly advanced aerodynamic modeling that simulates every possible aspect of real-world flight. Post stall effects, tip stalls, torque and gyroscopic effects, propwash, ground effect, wind, thermals, turbulence—FS One’s high-fidelity aerodynamics engine accurately models them all and how they affect whatever you fly.

FS One’s flight modeling is so true to life, you will really feel the difference between bigger scale and smaller scale airplanes. From the heavy response of a 33% Edge 540 in high-alpha to the featherlight-feel of a profile foamie hushing down in a harrier landing, what you see on the screen you will sense on the sticks. You can even use the super-simple Scaling Wizard and Aircraft Editor tools to increase or decrease the size of any airplane and its power output. FS One will realistically depict the effect of these changes on flight behavior, giving you a virtually limitless number of aircraft variants to fly.

Some of FS One’s most impressive aerodynamic features include:

• Airplane flight models developed by renowned aerodynamicist, Michael Selig, Ph.D.
• Extensive high-alpha (high angle of attack) "post stall" effects
• High-fidelity aerodynamic modeling that accurately depicts the effects encountered during 3D maneuvers, such as:

• * Hovers
• * Harriers
• * Blenders
• * Torque Rolls
• * Walls
• * Elevators
• * Parachutes
• * Waterfalls
• * Rolling Harriers
• * Knife Edge/Knife-Edge Spins
• * Spins
• * Lomchevaks and more
• * Realistic-stalls, including tip stalls
• * Engine/propeller torque and gyroscopic effects
• * Ground effect and propwash effects
• * User-definable wind, thermal, and turbulence effects

Immerse Yourself in Stunning, Photorealistic Environments. FS One gives you 5 3D and 20 photo-panoramic flying sites
to choose from.

FS One gives you 5 3D and 20 photo-panoramic flying sites to choose from with grass and pavement surfaces modeled to have appropriate friction effects. You can also adjust your environment by changing wind speeds, wind direction and adding thermals. Not even the sky is the limit—you can enhance all of the 3D flying sites with over 40 different photoreal skyscapes to fit your mood. 

FS One comes with incredibly detailed models of some of RC’s most popular airplanes, sailplanes, helicopters and park flyers.

Visual features include:

• * Moving control surfaces
• * Landing gear and wings that flex under load
• * Photorealistic textures
• * Reflective surfaces
• * Smoke and exhaust effects
• * Colors, trim schemes and decals you can customize with most any graphics editor

Every model’s size and power, along with numerous other parameters, can be adjusted using FS One’s powerful Aircraft Editor and Scaling Wizard tools. This means you have a virtually limitless number of variants for any given model, each with completely unique flight characteristics.

Your Transmitter or Our Controller—
You Have Complete Control Customization

FS One’s extensive Transmitter Editor lets you simulate a huge number of programming and control changes and immediately see their effects. Mix channels, add expo, adjust endpoints, alter sub-trims—most anything you can do with top-of-the-line 7-channel programmable radio systems you can do with the FS One’s TacCon controller. You can also augment transmitter functions with your keyboard. 

Of course, realistic aerodynamics and environments don’t make for a truly authentic RC sim experience if you can’t use the same transmitter you use at the field. FS One includes adapter cords for JR, HiTec and Futaba radios so you can plug your transmitter into the FS One’s USB connector and enjoy the ultimate in realism. Adapter cords for other makes of radios are also available separately.

FS One’s easy.
Its extensive array of user-friendly view commands and situational awareness tools let you enjoy the action from almost any perspective.

Views include:

• Walking Camera: “Walk” yourself to any spot on a 3D flying field and fly from there.
• Padlock View: Lock the airplane view onto other aircraft or ground objects.
• Leashed Camera View: Drag the camera along with you as if it’s on a tether.
• Multiple On-Board Camera Positions: Multiple views available, including rudder view, wing tip view and more.
• Shifted Elevation View: Keeps the horizon in sight without slowing frame rates or losing perspective.
• Fly-by View

FS One also makes it possible to maintain complete situational awareness from any viewpoint or evaluate your performance with handy flight aids, like:

• * Map
• * Variometer
• * Spot Landing Tool
• * Compass
• * Radar Gun
• * Multi-Function Timer
• * HUD

Besides advanced aerodynamics, thrilling visuals and exciting aircraft, FS One has other features that make it the most thoroughly equipped RC sim right out of the box.

Features such as:

• Flight training modules and tips by world-class RC pilots
• Flight Recorder
  • Save your greatest FS One moments and share them
  • Multiple aircraft playback support
• Fly with recorded aircraft
• Extensive video playback controls
• Built-In Gaming Features
  • Bomb Drop–Hit aerial or ground targets with bombs or bottle rockets.
  • Pylon Racing – Go head-to-head against another pilot in two-player mode, race against the clock or race recordings of your best laps.
• Built-In Two-Pilot Capability

FS One comes ready for two people to fly at the same time using the same computer and another USB controller.*
*Extra USB controller not included.
