Default RE: FS one by Horizon Hobbies

Here are my 2 cents on FS One. First off I have been flying for 26 years but have NEVER gotten into 3D until recently. I own Reflex, AFPD, and G3. Before I took a plane out to the field I hammered away on my sims (don't really fly Reflex that much anymore since the USB dongle is intermittent). However, after some practice I can lock a hover on each of those sims with no problem (with winds and turb put in for good measure). Went to the field. NOT the same expereience. Nose was all over the place, it fell off the hover over and over again. Lets face it, it was BAD! Came home fired up AFPD and had no probs in the hover.

Got FS One today and pulled up the Funtana 90 (the plane I was flying in real life) and took it up for some 3D. I flew is exactly like I did at the field. I sucked! I don;t just mean that I couldn't hover (which I found it hard to do) but it behaved just like my real Funtana.

The graphics are good but not great. I am having problems with it crashing when it goes in and out of the menus (but I am running it on an SLI system). Take this for what its worth but I was really suprised that I flew as badly on the sim as I did in real life. That have never been my experience on the other sims (as my helicopter training days will attest to!!)

Good Job.
