Description

Here is the long-awaited successor to our critically acclaimed flight simulator. It simulates the Space Shuttle approach and landing in incredible detail and accuracy.

This is a remaster of our original F-Sim Space Shuttle, completely rewritten from scratch. New features include:
- Console quality graphics
- Interactive tutorials
- White Sands as a third landing site option
- Orbit mode

F-Sim Space Shuttle combines realistic flight simulation with stunning graphics and fun gameplay.

You’ve never landed a Space Shuttle before? We’ve got you covered: Included are several tutorials with varying degrees of autopilot assist. Our landing analysis and scoring system tells you exactly how to improve your next landing. It will make you come back and try again.

Each flight starts at either 10,000 feet, already aligned with the runway, or at up to 50,000 feet, before banking into the heading alignment cone. During descent, the Orbiter is an unpowered glider, so you will only have one chance to get it right. Astronauts used to call it a flying brick: Because of its 200,000 lbs. gross weight and low lift over drag ratio, the approach is six times steeper and two times faster than a typical airliner approach. After your first safe touchdown, chase that perfect landing, compare your high scores online with your friends, earn medals, and unlock achievements. Experiment with different wind conditions, night approaches, and even emergency scenarios or system failures. At the end of each flight, watch a replay from different camera angles.

You control the Orbiter’s pitch and roll axes by tilting your device. Alternatively, you may switch to on-screen analog sticks or use a gamepad. Rudder, speed brake, gear, and chute are usually handled by the autopilot, but you can have full manual control if you like. For beginners, we’ve added rectangles that visualize the desired approach path. Simply try to stay within the corridor of rectangles, and they’ll guide you right to the touchdown point. Advanced pilots can turn them off and rely on the instruments in the head-up display (HUD) instead. The simulated guidance, navigation and control (GNC) systems are authentic replications of their counterparts in the real Orbiter, and the HUD features all the instruments real Space Shuttle commanders used to employ to skillfully land this unique aircraft. Now it’s your turn to give it a try.

A new orbit mode lets you take the Orbiter for a spin around the planet, and we’re working on a full atmospheric re-entry scenario, which, among other new features, will be released as free updates in the coming months.

Amazing

Absolutely incredible, a massive step up from the previous game. When will we see Reentry mode?

When is re-entry scheduled?

Great game. I’m super excited for re-entry mode but when is it scheduled to come out?

New Game

Hey Guys, Love you games just like to see if you could make another game primarily for the Westpac rescue helicopter service and add the Bell 412, AW139, BK117 all for nsw, the EC-135 for Queensland, Just for a bit of fun and testing around with your skills.

Beautiful

I bought the first version in 2012 so was a bit surprised to see this update. I'm not a diehard flight sim fan, particularly in this genre, but this games is so beautiful, and clearly built with so much passion, that I bought it again. Two key reasons I decided to buy again, even though I won't play it a lot, are the affordable price and that there's no data collection. Hat-tip to the developers.

The best space game I’ve possible ever played! 😘

Wow this is so good for a cheap $8 AU space simulation. The 3D world is so realistic and the game is surprisingly very detailed with great physics and addictive. The orbit mode has to be the best part of the game. And how you could also set up your approach is so good! Such a job well done after years of waiting! 10/10

Please add reentry

Such a great game would just be fantastic to add re entry. Also could add score bonus for different failures/wind. 10/10 recommend.

Wow

Having been a fan of its predecessor for years, I had a good idea of what to expect. But what I did not expect was the intro. I have never gone into a game before and been immediately captivated by the opening movie…. Until now. It’s genuinely beautiful! And the playing experience itself hasn’t changed much. However the graphics external to the cockpit are worlds apart from the original game, each individual file is rendered so beautifully. Looking forward to the full approach being added, and it’d be lovely to see some buildings and support vehicles being added also, but that aside, a genuinely amazing job. Well worth every cent I spent on it!

Like seeing an old friend

Wow, so happy to see this appear in the App Store. Did so many flights in first game trying to get the elusive perfect landing. Got only a couple but certainly loved the challenge. Now get to do it again but with new menu, music and the new orbit mode where you can just hover above the earth and pass over countries is amazing. Makes me so want to buy a ticket with a space company to see it in person. Worth getting.
