Product Details

This unique expansion for Flight Simulator X takes Flight Simulation into orbit. Now, armchair pilots can swap their headsets for space suits and bring the Shuttle back from space to a safe landfall at Kennedy Space Centre.

The development team at Captain Sim has harnessed the skills of a Shuttle-trained Cosmonaut to develop a flight sim first. All six Shuttle orbiters are faithfully modelled and the systems and avionics are re-created to an extremely high level of detail. It's out of this world!

• Panels include hi-res 2D, virtual cockpit, Commander view 2D panel, HUD, exterior model animation control panel, simicons panel, radio panel and GPS panels
• Software features a video ‘launch’ to start the program and set the scene for the journey back to terra firma.
• Amazing animations include payload bay doors, SRMS (Shuttle Remote Manipulator System), drag chute, radiators and landing gear.
• Includes a voice package with 19 cues based on actual crew and Mission Control communications. This operates in real time according to current flight situation.
• The package includes the radio aids that provide original Space Shuttle -19°/-17° steep OGS glide slope and shallow glide slope for runway 15 and 33 at the NASA Shuttle Landing Facility (X68) in Florida.
• Manual features a custom tutorial prepared by Just Flight to guide virtual astronauts back to Earth.
• Bonus version with limited features for Flight Simulator 2004 is included in the package.

Please note: No launch, ascent or orbital phases/systems are simulated. Designed for FSX, Space Shuttle can be flown in FS2004 with certain limitations as detailed in the More Info section for this add-on.
