FMS Flying Model Simulator

A little bit about FREE FMS:

FMS is a freeware RC simulator for anyone to use. It's not quite as user friendly as or has as many features as the commercial ones available right now. The flight characteristics with the transmitter interface are quite good including hovering, forward flight and aerobatics.  Flight simulator physics has progressed since the days of the FMS but if you want to get a good understanding as to how a helicopter feels to fly before trying it for real then this still continues to be a good option.

Version 2.0 Beta 7 is the most advanced version available that was developed by Roman and Michael Möller (all copyright remains with them). The original page they setup has disappeared and hence I am now re-writing this page (that is many years old) to enable users to obtain this simulator and access to any solutions to install it.

Downloading FMS:

Download for FREE here – Version 2.0 Beta 7 (Windows 9x, ME, 2000)

You can see above that when this software was developed when only the above operating systems existed, you can still use this on your most up to date operating system but you may have to download additional files and fixes.  There is a known Windows Vista issue where you have to download additional .dll files, see below for help.
