December 28, 200718 yr Dec 27th...Mission Control announces that all system checks are nominal and that the Space Shuttle Mission 2007 is scheduled for liftoff this weekend- weather permitting.Lot's of great screenshots. I've been waiting for this for quite awhile. Based upon the screenies and the DVD trailer done by JaggyRoad, my confidence level is high for this release. Perhaps I'll give FSX a rest and become a Rocket Man! :-)http://www.space-shuttle-mission.com/index.htmlAnd here is a link to the "VIP" lounge, where you can see the activity at the launch site, and watch the countdown clock march towards liftoff.http://www.space-shuttle-mission.com/purchasing.htmlCheers,bt
December 31, 200718 yr Lots to learn. Different sim. Much like TrainSim (Cuz spaceflight is one way and one way only) like riding on rails...only in outer space!Beautiful Sim...much to learn. Much to pretend. Worth the admission price ($49.00)My 2 cents,bt

January 3, 200818 yr I bought it. Visually stunning and complex but extremely buggy.Very disappointing flight characteristics on approach and landing. The controls are too sensitive. Many many many glitches and poor response from the support people. They totally botched the launch by not testing it well with Vista and the support is getting worse from thereYou'd be better off buying an IMAX movie about the shuttle or ISS
January 6, 200818 yr >Many many many glitches and poor response from the support peopleWhat is even more disturbing is this part from the manual:If you make any hardware change you have to request an off-line activation key and you will be charged with an off-line-key-generation-service-fee ?!?!RegardsBernt Capt 767
