.. # Yak 54 Features ======== - FS |nbsp| One has a rich set of features, including many on-screen navigation aids. See the `Features `__ grouped into 24 major categories. .. image:: images/13-many-widgets-810p.png :width: 810 :align: center :alt: Image of on-screen widgets in FS One when flying. | Airplanes ========= - FS One includes power planes and sailplanes ranging from beginner-level trainers to highly advanced model aircraft. - Airplane features include: - Jet propulsion, prop driven, gas/glow/electrics. - Movable control surfaces: ailerons, flaps, rudder, elevator, spoilers, and more. - Physics: P-factor effects, landing gear and wings that flex under loads, wheels that turn, breakable parts, crash sounds, real engine sounds, smoke and exhaust effects, air-swoosh sounds. - Graphics: photo-realistic textures/skins, accurate models. - Types: traditional model airplanes, 3D airplanes, scale models, warbirds, foamies, trainers, and more. - The snapshot below shows some of the airplanes in FS |nbsp| One. In all, there are over 140 stock airplanes and their variants. .. # Whether .. # you're looking to hone your skills or simply enjoy the thrill of .. # flying, FS One lets you experience the excitement of piloting a .. # variety of model aircraft, without any real-world risks. .. # Crash'em for free in FS |nbsp| One. .. image:: images/airplanes_810p.png :width: 810 :align: center :alt: Image of some airplanes in FS One. | Scaling Wizard ============== - A unique feature is the FS |nbsp| One `Scaling` |nbsp| `Wizard`\ ™. It is a physics-based airplane re-sizing method. It integrates into the flight simulator as an extension to the traditional airplane editor. - The `Scaling Wizard` can be used to resize an airplane along with its physics - going down to tiny micro UAV sizes up to full scale and even larger. - Creating new variants with the `Scaling Wizard` is easy and can take less than a minute (see the YouTube video below). - Below are three variants of the Pawnee in FS |nbsp| One -- full scale, gas powered, and electric variants. Each variant has physics that makes it feel like its true real-world counterpart. .. image:: images/pawnee_810p.png :width: 810 :align: center :alt: Image of the Pawnee cropduster airplane from Scaling Wizard. | .. raw:: html
| Aerodynamics and Physics ======================== .. image:: images/edge540b-localFlow-400p.png :width: 400 :align: right :alt: Image of airplane and flow angles to slice of wing used in aerodynamics calculations. - FS |nbsp| One |nbsp| specializes in aerodynamics and flight physics. It simulates +/-180 deg high angle of attack and high sideslip flight, including stalls and aerobatics such as spins, knife edge flight, inverted "harriers", etc. - The data and calculations are all "under the hood", but you feel it "pushing air" when you fly. - The methods coded into FS |nbsp| One are based on decades of experience in RC modeling and aerospace engineering [`detailed technical paper pdf `__]. | Next Steps ========== FS |nbsp| One requires a USB simulator controller and modest graphics support. Using an RC |nbsp| transmitter or RC |nbsp| simulator controller is highly recommended. You can `Download `__ and install FS |nbsp| One on your PC under the FS |nbsp| One software license. While FS |nbsp| One is free to install and use, the simulator is not open source. Follow the online `User Manual `__ to learn how to hook up your controller. Step-by-step instructions are provided to make the process go as smoothly as possible. .. As with any simulator, the first pass through .. any setup can be challenging. But When you download FS |nbsp| One, we hope you support it with a donation in the amount of your choosing. FS |nbsp| One will continue to improve with your support. .. It will not just make the .. simulator better for you, but it will help continue its development .. and bring more new people into this great hobby.
