Better Aerodynamics – Four years of research has improved FS One's already best-of-breed aerodynamics. You'll feel the difference across the entire flight envelope – normal flight, stalls, spins, and mild through extreme 3D maneuvers.
Aircraft – V2 has over 40 stock aircraft. V2 also bundles in the V1 Hangar Pack aircraft for free. No more Hangar Packs to buy! Leader of the pack – The Scaling Wizard™ by FS One turns any airplane into any size, physics included automatically. The number of airplanes is virtually limitless.
Free Aircraft – The new V2 supports free aircraft downloads from www.fsone.com. Some new airplanes are the Extra 260 35%-scale, Cap 232 27%-scale from Hangar 9 and Four-Star 60 from SIG, Sbach 342 from RC Xtreme Machines, and Focke-Wulf FW 190.
High-Resolution Interface – V2 comes with a new USB interface that has four times more resolution than before (10 bits, 1024 counts). Never before has an RC simulator had this much resolution between your transmitter sticks and computer. It's as smooth and accurate as your real transmitter. Want more resolution? Download the free V2 upgrade to 2048 resolution. That is eight times the resolution of the most all other simulators available.
Bonus Rebate – $30 back for owners of FS One V1. $20 back for owners of competitive products. Rebate good through May 31, 2012.
Panos and 3D Flying Sites – FS One has both. Fly on board or from the ground, in a 3D world or with photorealistic graphics. Free panos along with free airplanes.
Use Your Own Transmitter or the TacCon! – With the best aerodynamics, we've made it easy to get the best out of your simulator. Use your own transmitter, and what you feel in the sticks, you'll feel at the field. FS One V2 also supports the TacCon controller from V1.
Easy Transmitter Setup – A Calibration Wizard automatically assigns channels to 4- to 8-channel transmitters.
Works with any Transmitter Mode – Designed for any transmitter mode: Mode 1, 2, 3 or 4. Mode 2 is most common in US.
Fast Install from DVD – Installation is four times faster than V1, and needs no CD-swapping.
Updated – V2 bundles in all updates from V1.

Scaling Wizard™ by FS One: In addition to these, FS One comes with the super-simple Scaling Wizard/Aircraft Editor that can be used to scale up or down any stock airplane to any size. FS One V2 comes preconfigured with many additional airplanes created using the Scaling Wizard.
These additional airplanes range from a 3-inch span Aerobird Xtreme to a ducted-fan park flyer BVM Bobcat and BVM MiG-15 jet up to many full-size airplanes like the Ultimate aerobatic biplane with a constant-speed propeller just like full-scale. In each case, the Scaling Wizard scales the model size, mass, propulsion system, aerophysics, etc. Everything is automatic, but you can selectively override the auto-scaling and change the airplane weight, motor, propeller, etc to your specifications to match a known model or create an entirely new airplane. No limits on speed or size!

The scaled planes above use the same graphics from the originals, but the physical size of the graphics model is changed and the physics is automatically scaled accordingly.
Any of the baseline planes and these scaled variants can be changed in size in less than a minute using the Scaling Wizard. Make a copy of the airplane. The new airplane will be placed in the top-level default category with the original airplanes at the bottom of the list. Enter the editor ("Edit") to make your changes. Save and fly.
One other plane not in the list above is one similar to Bill Hempel's Special 33% Scale Setup. The FS One special 33% Edge 540 model description reads: "Test your skills at landing after a surprise event. The left wing has been set to break off easily. See if you can land with half a wing! It has been done in real before."

FS One V2 comes with your choice of Adapter Cables for use with your favorite transmitter or the original TacCon controller from FS One V1.
FS One V2 does not require online activation. You don't enter a serial number when you install, and the software does not "phone home" to InertiaSoft. If you sell it, the new owner just installs and flies - pretty simple.
Yes. FS One works on Windows XP/Vista/7, either 32-bit or 64-bit.
Yes. FS One current runs with Windows 8 Preview.
You connect your transmitter to the Adapter Cable, and Adapter Cable connects to the FS One USB Interface which plugs into your computer. The USB Interface converts the signal from the transmitter's trainer port into a USB game controller that works with Windows and FS One.
