FS One V2 - Add-Ons
Add-On Pack #1: Sbach 342 SCAS, electric powered, 5 variants (4 with SCAS, 1 without SCAS) Requires: FS One V2.0.8 or higher Released: January 1, 2012
This add-on includes the RCX Sbach 342 with a "Stability and Control
Augmentation System" (SCAS) that relies on gyros in all 3-axes.
As it sounds, the SCAS system (similar to other systems currently
available for micro flyers) adds stability, and this is especially
noticeable in turbulence. The system also changes the behavior of
the control sticks. Rather than directly controlling the surface
deflections, the control sticks (pilot inputs) drive the roll,
pitch and yaw rates, i.e. they turn into 'rate commands'. In this
mode, rolling harriers, knife edge flight and many more aerobatic
maneuvers become much easier while the control system does most of
the work (watch the surfaces move on their own in rolling
harriers!).
Turn SCAS on/off with the gear switch (or key "0" for transmitters
with only 4 channels).

FS One V1 - Updates
Updates for the original FS One version 1 can still be
downloaded here. FS One version 1 can be updated to version 1.1.
The FS One version 2 updates will not work with FS One
version 1 or 1.1.
Update Instructions
These updates should be installed to bring the original FS One version
1 from Horizon (at right) to its final Version 1.1. Start with a
clean installation of FS One from the original disc set and then
follow these steps.
Step 1. Install the FS One V1.0.9 Update or if you have FS One
Hangar Pack 1 install it instead. After the installation has
finished, then start FS One to complete the installation in FS
One. When FS One runs, the version number on the main screen
should read V1.0.9. Exit FS One and go to Step 2.
Step 2. Install the FS One Heli Performance Update for V1. After the
installation has finished, start FS One to continue with the
installation, then exit FS One. The Heli Performance Update
will only be fully functional after continuing with Step 3.
Step 3. Install the FS One Update V1.1 and start FS One. After
installing this update, the version number at the bottom of the
Main Menu should read Version 1.1.
To verify the three-step installation, you should see a new category
"Original Versions" in the list of helicopter category selections.
You will also see many new training lessons for helicopters.
If you install Hangar Pack 1 after updating to V1.1, reinstall the
V1.1 Update.
This update process is for FS One V1 only. It does not apply to
FS One Solo. Also if you are using Windows Vista, turn off the UAC
before applying these updates, and see
the Vista Installation Guide for more
details.
Please note that Horizon Hobby, distributor of the original
