Whhoooooosshhhh!!!!!

See the new Space Add-On for FS2004!!

Nah, just kiddin, its a stand-alone freeware program and although I have only had a quick look, it seems to be pretty neat!! Its very complex as its goes deeply into astronautics, physics and mathamatical formulae that I wont even pretend to understand, (Adlabs will love it!! ) I just flew a quick approach to CC and the Shuttle has the decent rate of a brick!! Great fun though

Get it here if you want it:

You got the void for me?
Then I can start skinning it. I never liked the colours of the Space shuttle...

Hehe, the shuttle will decend towards the glide slope at about 20X the rate an airliner does. That could qualify for brick status.

Also... shouldn't the SRB separation sequence occur about 400 miles east of Cape Kennedy over the Atlantic, and not over the populace?!

Err yeah, but that would spoil the screenshot

There was a program on TV here a few weeks ago presented by the ex Iron Maiden singer, Bruce Dickinson, who is now a qualified airline pilot. He took a ride in NASA's shuttle simulator and said that the decent rate was 10,000 ft per minute....truely brick like status!!

Re: Whhoooooosshhhh!!!!!

Ah, I get it. And yea thats really an incredible decent rate. Watching on TV this morning, and 50,000 feet to touchdown was mindbogglingly quick.
