SSM 2 Will launch when the time is right, lets all don't get launch fever. Remember the down times before STS-1 and after 51-L and 107.  
In Houston keeping up with my training.

Thanks for the new update Admin. Since we are talking about de-orbit and landing, I was wondering two things: about deorbit, will the "plasma phase" last longer like in real life compared with SSMS2007? The second thing is will the landings be somewhat like F-Sim? Because I remeber that in SSMS2007 there where some mistakes about that, especially regarding the position of the speed brakes. Best wishes of a good work, regards  :) ;) :D

I don't remember seeing it is this simulator going to have all the same missions as SSMS07 or are there going to be different ones as well? cause if they are the same just better graphics? I may not buy as I have done almost all of them already
There will also be new missions

Not sure based on the May update from Admin.  He said there are 3 missions done so far STS-1, 8, 128.  Also said that there would be no MIR missions to start with and not all the old missions would be added to start with.  Didn't say anything about new missions though.

STS-1,STS-8,STS-41C,STS-51A,STS-26,STS-27,STS-32,STS-31,STS-47,STS-88, STS-96,STS-93,STS-103,STS-99,STS-98, STS-100,STS-121,STS-116, STS-117, STS-122,STS-124,STS-125,STS-128,STS-130, STS-401,Ares-1X

Maybe not from the beginning, but there will be new missions for sure, at least this is what they said some time ago, before they started with the monthly update thing (altough not really monthly ;)). From what I understood, they decided to leave something behind to release the game, such as MIR missions, but they said they were looking forward to add those missions later on. So be faithful and wait patiently for more news and updates. Cheers  ;D

good god the mir missions? that was a long time ago. lol that would be interesting to go to. but the ISS is more fun cause it's bigger.
Well, since this is called "Space Shuttle Mission Simulator" and not "ISS Missions Simulator", and considering that the Shuttle-Mir program was part of the Space Shuttle Program, regardless if it was 2 years ago or 20, it's nice to have it included. Let alone the fact that the Shuttle-Mir program, led to the beginning of the International Space Station project, and the definition of rendez-vous and docking procedures. And besides, bigger doesn't necessarily mean more fun.

Hi guys!

Just some info to clear things out. There will be new missions, and MIR will surely be included.
Plan is to have some old missions since they are easier to add, and maybe a couple of new missions for the release.
We believe that one of the new missions should be the final mission ever for the space shuttle anyway.

It still takes quite some time to convert the old missions since most graphics will be updated.
More details will be added and some small misstakes corrected during conversion so it will be a whole new experience to play the old missions anyway.

Thanks for the update and the clarification Admin, very much appreciated. I was actually wondering where the "Latest News" updates went, it's been a long time since the last one  :)

Many thanks for the update, Admin. It sounds like SSMS2 is really starting to take shape! I look forward to resuming space shuttle missions at some point in the future. It's been a while since I used SSMS2007....

so is there going to be a release date any time soon or is it going to be years before we will get to fly this?

If you put the same effort into completing SSMS2007 as you do whining about when SSMS2 is going to be released, you would have had 2007 completed months ago... Finished 2007? ... Increase the difficulty level... There's plenty of "play" with what you have.

SSMS2 will be released when it's good and ready and not before. They aim for monthly forum updates which is at least something. Exciting Simulations is clearly an indie developer and is doing this "on the side" of other work and life commitments.

You're not the only one waiting, but constantly posting asking "when", isn't going to make the process go any faster. If you don't have the patience, leave the community.

Question to the DEV Team :

Last time, you gave an approximation of the release date ("Before the end of the year"), as I asked to you, and I thank you for that.

My question : is the approx' date that you given is always up-to-date?

And if it not, can you give a new approximative date? Even if it is false. See that as a reference/magnitude.

Thanks and regards.
