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.

New updates

I really love this game and I’m super excited to see the next updates like re-entry, also I hope that maybe they could make a launch sequence. But I think the easiest thing to make is a mode where you can start in orbit go into re-entry and then glide back to the landing strip.

Not console style just average

The flight dynamics are good and same as original F-sim but advertising as console graphics is not accurate. The “3D cockpit” just looks like a bitmap and nothing is clickable (compare Aerofly) and even the cockpit graphics aren’t sharp or high resolution on a top iPhone. The exterior terrain graphics are just average nowhere near other flight simulations, a few 3D buildings at the runway strips. Even the tutorials aren’t anywhere near x-plane level - They really need to boost all areas of sim other than flight model to justify cost

Awesome

Love this game. Very challenging and graphics are spectacular. I can’t figure out how to play the ‘Orbit’ portion of the game.

Tilt control U/S

Still waiting for a bug fix on the tilt control for ios 16… 7$ and I can’t really play it. Don’t buy for now…

Reentry when???

The re-entry promised 1 year ago. Just needed an honest answer from the developer. Delay??? Sincerely, your loyal customer Edwin!

Re entry is never coming

These developers have promised re-entry forever—at least a year. You’re better off buying the cheaper F-Sim 1, because it’s almost exactly the same.

Absolutely Fantastic Simulator!

When will the re-entry feature be available though?

Traaaash

Reeeeffuuuunnnddd!!
