You can now forget about the fear of crashing and instead
focus on learning how to fly with Hangar 9's revolutionary
FS One Precision Flight Simulator. Loaded with a wide variety
of over 30-airplanes and helicopters, FS One makes it possible
to earn your wings and progress steadily on to more advanced
planes. FS One makes it easy and fun to take your first steps
in model flight. FS One is
incredibly easy to setup and use.
Lots of RC flight simulators offer realistic
looking aircraft and flying fields. But what if someone set
out to create a great looking RC simulator that wasn't just
about the eye-candy? What if someone created an RC sim that
was so aerodynamically accurate you could sense the aircraft
response exactly like you do at the field? Hangar 9 has done
just that with FS One - the RC flight simulator that was engineered
from the ground up to feel every bit as real as it looks!
Too many times with other flight simulators
all the aircraft feel the same. Sure it looks like you're
doing the same maneuvers you do at the field, but it feels
nothing like it does at the field. It's like you're going
through the motions instead of really flying. This is where
FS One leaves all other simulators behind. Using high fidelity
aerodynamic modeling developed in conjunction with renowned
aerodynamicist Dr. Michael Selig, FS One applies Dr. Selig's
extensive expertise in airfoil design and fluid dynamics to
advanced computer programming that takes full advantage of
the latest in PC technology. The result is quite possibly
the most accurate simulation of RC flight, or flight of any
kind really, that you can enjoy on your desktop. Just one
flight with any one of the 30 aircraft depicted in the program
is enough to make you a believer. Winch launch a glider and
you'll feel the heightened response of the controls during
the launch and then their softening as soon as the glider
is off the hook. Core out a thermal and you'll swear you can
feel the effects of the wind as you turn upwind and downwind.
Or if 3D flight's your thing, take the 33% Edge up and marvel
at the undeniable feel of diminished aileron response as you
wallow in high-alpha just on the edge of a stall. Do the same
thing with FS One's rendition of a feather-light profile foamie
and it will feel completely different. But FS One doesn't just have a great "personality".
It's a looker too. In addition to the realistic flight dynamics,
it includes 20 photo panoramic flying fields and five 3D flying
fields. The 3D flying fields let you choose from 40 different
gorgeous skyscapes on which you can practice your aerial artistry.
Couple these incredible atmospherics with FS One's outstanding
aircraft models that feature wings and landing gear that flex
under load, control surfaces that move and surfaces that reflect
light sources, and it's every bit as pretty, if not more so,
than anything else out there. About the only thing that could
make it more real is a table fan to simulate the breeze in
your face and an air freshener scented like spent glow fuel. No kidding. FS One is nothing short of a
breakthrough in desktop RC simulation and you owe it to yourself
to take the online tour or stop by your favorite Hangar 9
retailer to learn more. Not only will it keep you entertained
on those days when mother nature has it in for your flying
field, it'll probably make you a better pilot once you're
back out there.
