Default RE: FS One by Hangar 9

Hi All,

Being a relative noob to the hobby too, and having owned FS One for about a year now, I can totally understand what Johnny_G is saying so here's a long question that might help answer his desire for more training videos.

Quite a few people have posted wish lists for FS One to address a bunch of their own interests. The FS One guys may be tied up working on their improvements, patches etc (though it's a while since we saw a new patch).

Considering the significant level of expertise that many readers of this thread have, why don't we try to help the FS One guys by posting some of the easy things (like training videos) that experienced fliers could prepare. I haven't tried recording any flights yet but maybe one could add a simple narration to the video (maybe a patch could be issued to allow sound recorder to associate a sound file with a video?)

The training videos that are in FS One were great for me but they're mostly for powered aircraft, so how about some volunteers to pony up some of the following or other things that I don't know about?

Gliders:
- Dynamic soaring of gliders
- slope soaring
- use of flaps and crow for gliders invarious situations
- thermalling gliders
- aerotow takeoffs for gliders
- effect of various wind settings

Helis: (I don't know anyhing about helis so maybe somebody else could volunteer a useful vid list)

General program use:
- effect of altering various flight physics constants that are in the physics setup screen (mabe this will be covered in the soon to be released user manual ... which I hope is sent out to existing registered users as a pdf file or printed hardcopy)
- how to edit the various servo setups and 'wiring' in a given model

If such things were available publicly here then that pretty much takes out the issue doesn't it?

Food for thought.
cheers,
Dave
