It really looks so much detailed and realistic, it shows the huge amount of work that went into it. Sorry to hear Covid caught you, but glad to hear you got away with it. Can't wait for what the future has in storage for this sim, it looks promising. I take the occasion to wish once more a happy(er) and healthy(er) 2021 to everyone here, cheers

« Last post by Admin on December 31, 2020, 08:47:38 PM »Another year has passed. A year most of us will consider as lost because of the corona pandemic.
Got it myself and lost about 6 weeks of my life. But I consider myself lucky compared to other cases.
Anyway, all year has been spent on finishing launchpad A. It was a really bad idea to start fine tuning the graphics before the main sim is finished. Especially if youre a peaky moron like the guys over here.
But now we can put all this behind us. At least until its time for pad B. But much stuff can be reused anyway.
So all we can provide here for the moment is some screenshots of pad A that you can drool over.
As usual no post production effects are used on the images and no 3D improvements is used during rendering. No anti aliasing and other "cheats".
It will be nice to start with the actual sim after this. To move things forward.
But the first priority will be to fix this crappy website and remove all flash player stuff.
After going thru all missions and add a new sound system, this baby could finally be ready for beta testing. Somewhere close to summer, depending on workload.
Hope this calms all fans fo the moment. We really appreciate all support and patience we got from all you users over all these years.
Finally, I wish you all a corona free HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Here some images of the close-to-final pad A.

« Last post by Pappolus on December 30, 2020, 04:30:50 AM »Hello everyone. Would it be possible to have an end-of-the-year update, or maybe, being a bit cheeky here, some sort of "New Year's resolutions", for how things currently stand? At least to wrap up this nasty 2020 on a positive note. I hope it will be, but otherwise, wishing everyone a happy 2021 or at least better than what 2020 was (shouldn't be too difficult), maybe it will bring us a very welcome and long awaited surprise

Real NASA Space Shuttle Missions / Re: Going to the moon
« Last post by Forrest White on December 15, 2020, 07:20:20 PM »SpaceX has hidden the producing Dragon spacecraft for 18 months, maybe the preparation stages for a mission back to Moon are also hidden to be ready to 2024 without empty promises as always.

Space Shuttle Mission Simulator (tm) / Re: Goodbye Space Shuttle
« Last post by Forrest White on December 15, 2020, 07:16:04 PM »Everything comes to the end soon or later. The shuttle mission created the road for space exploration development. This leads to the first in space history cargo spacecraft and reusable manned rockets made by SpaceX.NASA awards commercial companies thus encouraging them to proceed in the space colonization process.

Real NASA Space Shuttle Missions / Re: What after the shuttle?
« Last post by Forrest White on December 15, 2020, 06:56:14 PM »The USA, Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Australia, Italy, Luxembourg, and the United Arab Emirates have signed an international agreement on the exploration of the Moon. All the countries make their contribution to the mission - the USA is responsible for spacecraft for manned flight, Great Britan takes care of Getaway station and the part of Orion rocket. Besides, the UK has also different satellites for Earth-observation, third stages for cargo delivery, and Skylark Micro rocket. The new agreement defines the principles according to which the study of space objects should proceed in the future. According to the agreement, space research has a peaceful purpose - there shouldn't be any space race or war. Countries defined an obligation to provide mutual assistance in the event of an emergency, the registration of space objects, the opening of access to scientific data, the protection of historical heritage, the proper use of lunar resources, conflict avoidance, and space debris.
