FS One V2 is designed to be the most accurate simulation of RC flight. It is based on decades of experience flying and simulating model aircraft in all categories: trainers, sport planes, aerobatic airplanes, jets, warbirds, foamies, sailplanes and helicopters. Aerodynamically, FS One V2 is unsurpassed for ultimate realism in flight simulation.
Only FS One gives you aerospace research-level aerodynamics – all airplane flight models developed by Michael Selig, PhD. You get unrivaled path-tracking accuracy from its true-to-life complex 360-degree flight dynamics engine. Fine tune your skills at home, fly at the field, avoid surprises and save money and time.
Ultimate Physics
Learn and perform extreme aerobatics with the best physics engine that captures anything and everything – stalls, tip stalls, snap rolls, spins, hover, torque rolls, harriers, rolling harriers, blenders, elevators, walls, parachutes, waterfalls, Lomchevaks and more. These maneuvers are all a natural outcome of the extensive aerodynamics and physics engine in FS One.
What’s new with FS One Version 2
Better Aerodynamics – 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. Also, the Scaling Wizard™ inside FS One turns any airplane into any size, physics included automatically. The number of airplanes is virtually limitless.
Free Aircraft – FS One V2 supports free aircraft downloads from www.fsone.com. Some new airplanes are the BD-5J microjet, Spitfire MK.II 60 by Hangar 9, Extra 260 35%-scale by Hangar 9, Cap 232 27%-scale by Hangar 9, Four-Star 60 by SIG, Sbach 342 by RC Xtreme Machines, Focke-Wulf FW 190, and more.
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.
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 (requires V2 TacCon cable at time of purchase).
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.
Multi-Monitor Support – FS One V2 supports multiple monitors.
Fast Install from DVD – Installation is four times faster than V1, and needs no CD-swapping.
Updated – V2 bundles in all updates from V1.
More Updates – Download V2 updates for new features and aircraft. Current version: 2.5.0 (build 2601).
Extras – Download V2 Extras for new aircraft and features, e.g. Electric Sbach 342 with the FS One stability and control augmentation system (SCAS), pylon racing improvements, other ideas we’re testing out for feedback.
Aircraft, Flying Sites and Skyscapes
Experience aircraft that look as real as they fly. FS One comes with authentic, highly detailed, photo-realistic airplanes, helicopters, jets, sailplanes, and foamies. All aircraft have movable surfaces and breakable parts. Over 40 of RC’s most popular aircraft included along with free downloadable aircraft and updates from FSOne.com. With the stock airplanes and their variants, there are over 130 airplanes to choose from when you install FS One V2 and the free updates.
Over 30 different flying sites – both 3D and photo-panoramic flying sites. Also, match any 3D flying site with any of 40 fabulous photo-panoramic skyscapes to create 240 unique combinations and improve your skills. All screen shots are from FS One.

Scaling Wizard™ and Aircraft Editor
Create and resize any airplane to your favorite size with the FS One Scaling Wizard™ and Aircraft Editor. Set the new size, and the rest is all automatic. No fussing around, no kidding. Use the Scaling Wizard to resize any airplane, e.g. resize a park-flyer sized jet to 75% scale in seconds, and fly an unlimited number of aircraft variants to test your skills and try out new designs. No size or speed limits!
Airplane and Helicopter Training
Learn from world-class RC pilots. Step-by-step beginner lessons and advanced aerobatics instruction for airplanes and helicopters are included. Pilot voice-over, transmitter control stick display, and playback controls guide each lesson.
Instruments and Navigation Features
Use FS One’s extensive array of user-friendly view commands and tools to let you enjoy the action from almost any perspective. Add transmitter stick display, moving/multi-mode map, heads-up display (HUD), multi-function timer with audible, compass, wind sock, inset windows for additional views while flying, Sky Grid™, radar gun, variometer for rate of climb/descent and more.
Use Your Favorite RC Transmitter
For the most authentic control feel, connect your own real transmitter to FS One using the included USB transmitter interface and Adapter Cable of your choice. Designed to work with JR/Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec, Airtronics/Sanwa, Multiplex radios and more, including the TacCon controller. Click on the Adapter Cable Guide tab above to find the cable for your transmitter. Then select that cable when you make our purchase. Additional V2 cables sold separately.
Built-In Transmitter Editor
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 8-channel programmable radio systems you can do with the FS One’s USB interface and a compatible transmitter. You can also augment transmitter functions with your keyboard.
Keyboard Controls
Take control with FS One’s extensive keyboard support. While flying, turn on airshow smoke, popup instruments and navigation aids, show multiple views, and use dozens of other features.
Your Connection to FS One.
2048 Resolution.
The FS One transmitter USB interface comes with 1024 stick-tracking resolution. That’s four times higher stick-tracking resolution than any other RC simulator, and its upgradable for free to 2048 resolution. That’s eight times (8X) the resolution of any other RC simulator available. The new 2048 resolution fully captures the capability of most top-of-the-line transmitters from most major brands.
