There's a few threads about this. IMO, it isn't worth the money by far.

Have you tried it?

My Feedback: (5)

No. It cost more than AFPD and G3 and both AFPD and G3 are superior in ability, thus the reason for my opinion.

Yeah I've read the threads. Other than one person's opinion on how it flies we've not seen any others. I payed over $200 for G3 when I bought it so I don't think it costs more than G3 unless they have dropped the price in the last 2 days. It was still $220 at my LHS a few days ago. It's also still $200 at tower as well.

I'll hold off on my judgement of it until I can fly it. I have my own issues with G3.

Maybe it flys well. I don't know. I think my G3 flys well and there isn't a good reason for buying FS One, IMO. It has limited features compared to the big 3 and is priced about the same.

Yea.. i know there are threads about this..thanks.. was just checking since its been out for a minute if anyone else has tried it..instead of bring up an old post...come to think of it.. since rcu is soooooo big and sooo many posts.. lets just close the "thread" button and turn it into google

All I want is a realistic flight model that actually reacts the way real airplanes do. For example, aerobatic R/C airplanes, (this is my biggest complaint with G3) should be able to snap and spin using only rudder and elevator. Full-scale aircraft do it that way as well. Until they get that down, G3 is very limited IMO. So, if this FSone gets that part right and missing a little of the fluff that G3 offers, I'll switch. Otherwise, I'll stick with G3.

the only thing i like about that FS one is that they have soo many planes i wish i had on G3, but those planes on FS one dont look like they have been built very well.

Umm, I don't mean to be smart, but G3 is a model sim and not a full scale. I have actually done full scale edits of planes like the Cap and it will spin with enough rudder.

HUM Don't tell my airplanes or the judges, guess I been doing my R/C planes snaps wrong all this time!

While I agree that full scale planes snap with elevator and rudder inputs - and I should know because I spent 15 years as an IAC competitor - many R/C airplanes won't fully stall and auto-rotate without a little help. If your 1/4 scale Extra had 1/4 the wing area and was 1/4 the weight, maybe it would fly like - well, like the full scale airplane. I haven't seen many 48-60lb full scale airplanes and I'm pretty sure that no-one is flying a 250+lb GP Extra.

So let's see - how does Mike McConville describe how to perform snaps?

I fly figures in G3, or any other R/C sim, the same way I fly them out at the flying field. I even flew them that way testing FSOne.

Getting back on track.....I flew it at Toledo, It looked good but the physics just didnt seem to compare with G3 (or APFD that I have also done a test.........er......fly)

WOW PropNut! I believe FS One has warbirds in it. I'm surprised to see your reactiont.(jk)
