FMS Downloads

Here are some FMS Downloads I'm hosting locally just in case they dissapear from the wide open Internet.

If you are the owner of any of these files, and are not happy with me hosting them please contact me (ozrcboy@gmail.com) and I will remove them immediatelly:

The main software:

FMS Software version Alpha 8.5

Training Models:

Litecub - I've modified this electric powered cub so it flys like a hobbyzone super cub. (Here's another supercub I found - I haven't played with it, but you might find it a better approximation than they one I have hacked together.)
Vortex Extreme - Flys a bit like an Electrafun XP.
Easystar - Flys like, well, an Easystar.

Aileron Trainers and "Others":

Cessna 182 - This is probably a reasonable match for an estarter and minimag although it does have a different undercarriage configuration to the estarter.
Tigermoth 400 - Probably a bit too much dihedral (self correction) on this model, but otherwise is a good approximation of the GWS 400 Tigermoth on 2s power.
ST1 - low wing easy flying. An easy introduction into low wings, but if you are going to get a low wing make sure you fly the "advanced" below.
Formosa - A foam aerobat that isn't really a great approximation of any of the planes, but it is one worth having a play with, particularly if you are thinking of one of something like the Extrafun.
Stryker - This model is much faster than a real Stryker C, but I'm not too fussed about the extra speed. It handles much more like the real thing than the Stryker b FMS models you might find.
ST1-Advanced - Although it looks like the ST1 above this plane behaves quite differently. It has a lot less dihedral, it has less power and higher control throws. As configured it is a reasonable approximation of a GWS Zero on 2s power with medium throws. People contemplating the Extrafun will also get some value out of practicing with this model.

Training Aids:

A "Transmitter" style controller that you can plug into your PC such as this can be handy. You can order one here, or similar things can normally be found on ebay.

If you already have a playstation style controller (two analog sticks that you can operate with each thumb) for your PC this can also be used, at least when you are first learning and the important thing is building that mental pathway.

The main FMS homepage is a good starting place for other models etc.

Other Models

Looking for other FMS Models - two great places to start are:

Gary Gunnerson's models - some of the models on this page are either his, or derived from his.
Kimagure Hikoki - although all done for Beta 7 of FMS there are still some great models here, and great info on how to edit par files (that define how a model flys in FMS).
