Default RE: FS one by Horizon Hobbies

Installed it and had 2 issues on the install. 2 of the recordings did not decompress. I clicked "Ignore" on each one (realizing it was a recording and would not effect actual execution). No other install issues. I downloaded the patch and installed it before plugging in the TacCon.

Computer:
Proc P4 3.0Ghz Hyperthreaded on an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard.
RAM: 1GB
Video: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Love it guys Going to take some tweaking on a couple of things. Like others have mentioned, the CG on the Edge is a little far forward. Moving it back is no problem and it was easy to edit the aircraft. The editor rocks. It's easy to use, intuitive (unless you start reading the aerodynamic variables) and offers PLENTY of options. Took me a bit of time to realize how you guys set up a different radio for each aircraft which can be edited. After that, modifying expo, etc was a breeze. Love the representations of servos, ability to set travel and arm length, etc.

Been flying for about the last 5 hours on it but its bed time One thing about the physics....I bought this because I could do just about anything in G3. I'd go out to the field and there would be things that would happen that just didn't happen when I was practicing the same manuever in the sim. With FSOne, doing the same manuevers resulted in the plane behaving as it did at the field...which tells me, the 3D physics are dead on or very very close (keep in mind though...I suck haha). I nailed down one bad habit I picked up that was causing me to snap out of rolling harriers. On G3, its fine. On FSOne, I saw it and I can work to correct it.

Great simulator in my opinion...some things will take me a bit to figure out. I tried recording via the enter key but apparently it didn't save. Bug? I love the fact I can fly with Quique and Mike and all of the other recorded videos without the actual lesson. VERY NICE.
