Maybe you should join forces with the Reentry dev, he is planning to do a Space Shuttle sim now he has got Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo sims fairly complete.

A little report to confirm that all generic communications and all communications in STS-1 and STS-8 is finally finished. :-*

Took  a while since the landing part needed an overhaul from the old version. HUD display has been improved and the guidance system works much better now.
Next up is adding comms for STS-128, but the only new stuff I need for that is docking comms and some spacewalk stuff.

I decided to add some shots of the landing. First image shows the HUD at declutter level 2, which is the common display to use after acquiring the outer glide slope.

Next, is a better view that could be used during the early part of landing. It shows the HUD, the horizontal situation display, the vertical situation display as well as the ascent/entry primary flight display.

And here is what happens when you forget to remove the debug flag in the code. Some useful gibberish during testing. :-\

Hope to bring more good news soon!

I for one am glad that the Space Shuttle Mission Simulator 2 is still being developed so I want to say thank you to the development team. I will continue to patiently wait until it is finished. I do agree with ratchet233 as well though. It would be nice to have the legacy Space Shuttle Mission Simulator available for purchase on Steam as well, that way if anything happens to your copy of the program or you update your hardware you wouldn't have to worry about contacting the admins for a new key or anything. You could simply reinstall it through Steam. You could maybe update the textures for the earth to a higher resolution though so that it would be closer to the current standards. Other than that I think that the original program would still hold it's own with some of the newer programs that are available. When it was released in 2007 it really was a top of the line program and I still enjoy using it. I would also like to suggest that with the new program whenever it is ready, it would be nice to have the shuttle U.S.S. Enterprise with the Approach and Landing Test (ALT) as an introductory mission as an easy way to get you familiar with the like the original Space Shuttle simulator from Virgin Games did back in the 1990's but I know that is still a long way off before you begin considering anything like that. Thank you for continuing to work on the program and I will be looking forward to whenever it is ready and available for purchase.

To bad that you feel that way. But we can understand you. There's just so many hours a day and just so many days a year and that will never change. :(
But your always welcome back when we finish SSMS2.

Thirteen years and still no SSMS2.  How about selling what you have to a serious developer who will finish it? Obviously, the gang of hobbyist is not cutting it.
The original was worth the money, but after completing all the missions 3 times, and getting only promises of something in the future, it is time for me to move on.
Pretty sad.

Thank you for the latest update on your progress. It is great to hear that work is still continuing on SSMS2, I am looking forward to when you get it done to a point where it is ready for release. I still regularly use the original SSMS program and I can not wait for the new version to become available when it is ready.

My bad!

The critical moments I talked about happens during countdown of course. The actual launch is just a matter of enjoying the view.
Unless something unforseen happens :o

Oh wow thanks! I would pretty much stay and do nothing before and while it launched, I must be missing some key movements that im not flipping switches and such.
