No fair.  You can't tease us like that.  It is both cruel and unusual punishment!

Although I am known to having teased people to insanity, this time this is not my intent :)

I couldn't even imagine that it looks so much awesome. This sim already is, but still is continuing to become something I couldn't even dream about just a few years ago. Thanks to the people who are working on this. You gild my free time a lot! :)

STS is retired? No, not at all. It's right here!

PS: those pics push my work on the manual a lot ;D

Hi, guys!!

I wanted to ask you, does the new SSMS 2 will have the 2D panel like what the SSM2007 have besides the 3D cockpit? Thanks!!

             Cheers,

first post is a very long time, great to see the next installment is coming along.  I have alot of exciting sims in my future.  SSMS2 being one of them and an addon for my flightsims that I will not mention (but you can have a free cookie if you guess).  That plus about 5 other things ive been waiting for that are well on thier way.

It was very sad to see Atlantis landing for the last time.  I almost cried (i didnt but almost!)  However knowing a whole new shuttle sim is coming in my future makes it almost bearable.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Simply amazing-backlit switches and instruments and those big fat white calculators that real astronauts use, hopefully they work.

SSMS really is the best option out there for those who want to fly a Shuttle on their computer.  I got into an argument with a guy on O-F.com over this, and it is just clear that SSMS is able to do far more than the Shuttle shuttles can.  From the displays, the implementation of the GPC, the switches, the systems, RMS arm which is the best simulation of the arm I have seen anywhere.  

I have never hesitated in recommending SSMS 2007 to anyone.  And with the new features, it should become a must have for anyone even remotely interested in space and manned space flight.  One thing that always seemed to throw people off when they first tried it from those coming over from FSX, is that switches can only be thrown in the 2d panel, and that the key mapping is different (mainly the F keys for changing view).  In FSX people get used to picking just the 2d or just the 3d and not having to switch between the two.

But with the new 3d flight deck, that curve is now gone, and I think a lot of people will find it will add greatly to the immersion of the sim.

I can't wait for v2 of SSMS, but of course you already knew that.
