Some clarification: Users can repaint the models like some of the
other sims, like stated on the FS One features page. They can also
edit the physics of the planes.
The scaling feature embodied within the sim can turn every airplane in
the sim into any size plane you want. For instance, we have a Funtana
90, which we've turned into an electric "mini Funtana" (36 in span at
21 oz) and a version that's an ultra-lite mini Funtana 90 (31 in span
at 9 oz). Also, we've used the Scale Wizard to create a full scale
Funtana (Kantana) at ~960 lbs. We've done the same sort of the thing
w/ the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane (stock @ 95 in span and 15 lb) and
the BVM Bobcat jet (66 in span @ 22 lb). For the Cessna, the
variations go down the the E-flite electric Skylane all the way up to
33% scale. With the jet, we've scaled up to 120% which matches the
BVM Kingcat, and then again up to 150% (~$30,000 jet in real if you
could find one to buy). We've taken the entire group of scale
airplanes and equally scaled them to 33% size to make them all match.
So you can tow up the Swift aerobatic sailplane w/ the Pawnee both at
33% scale. If you want your textures on the models (tga files), then
you can repaint the planes to your favorite. If you don't like the
size, then change it.
So how many airplanes are there?: Pretty much any number and size you
want. There's no limit on size, weight, speed, and number of planes.
The physics in each case comes for free and to me it's amazing that
the math all works out. It does not take a genius, just a few clicks,
a size spec and you're done. Go fly.
Later we want to add features to allow people skilled w/ Maya and
3DStudio Max, etc to make models, but that's down the road and not
something we can do now.
Also, when people have toured the skies enough with the 30+ models in
the sim (and any variations thereof), then we'll have new stuff
coming. I'll add that I think a lot of people flying in the sims,
catch onto their one or two favorites and that's what they fly. Now
in our case, any of the 30+ can go to any size -- that's a big range
of models.

In G3 you can scale the plane around a lot. It used to be 100% until the .426 update came and now it's 400.

Ok there's one feature that FS One does have.

Horizon has been saying that a new 33% H9 plane is down the road. Well, it's been a few years. Honestly I've heard plenty of BS from Horizon.

So you are alleging that people will NOT catch onto their favorite model in FS One? There are reasons why I like specific models of my real RC planes. Each one flys differently. Do all the FS One planes fly differently?

As if that is your REAL name.

edit:p.s. I'm sorry if I seem mad at you or your product(I'm not), but I am getting tired of the mis-information coming from Horizon. Your fluff is so overrated at times. I get tired of dealing with the people who buy into it at the flying field.
