Had a nice trip for the last two days. Still to work on my landing skills, but made it back in one piece.

Thank you. No, i do not play in real time. i use the time acceleration.

But i spend a lot of time on the flight deck. Have to learn a lot about the panel and the switch positions.

Okay :)

Yes. It's probably the most complex instrument panels in aeronautics and space flight history.

Too bad that the manual I'm working on isn't finished yet. But I hope it will help some people in future, without the need to browse hundreds of NASA documents :)

Using printouts of checklist. Helps to flip all the switches in time. Just preparing for STS8 (one separate landing  ;D).
This sim makes a lot of fun. Looking forward to further missions.
