Looks interesting - but requires a download (patch). 1.8.0.21

Where exactly is that download? I can't seem to find it.

>>Patch to Version 1.8.0.21 available for downloading

This Patch is recommended for all users. It fixes some particular problems, adds support for the IKARUS USB slave cable and the IKARUS USB slave GameCommander. We also added a new type of propeller to the simulation: the PPS-4D system. This is the first variable pitch propeller for 3-D Shock Flyer type airplane models. Especially users with the new USB-GameCommander and/or with USB keyboards and USB mouse are encouraged to download this Patch.<<

I'm looking here, but no link:

Hmmm, doesn't seem to work, maybe I need to have my dongle plugged in?

On second try, seems to have worked! Thanks. :)

You can reverse direction! Well, in the case of the "Tensor 4D" I think they just mean that it can fly the same in knife edge as upright, but we are talking about the ones that go backwards, by a servo which reverse the thrust direction.

Now where was that link to a video of the PPS prop plane?

FMS can do VPP, though finding VPP models may not be easy to do. This thread mentions the one I found:
