Space Shuttle Expansion for Flight Simulator X Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This sim has some great virtual cockpits. Unfortunately the install was a pain. After 2 emails with support I finally figured out the issue on my own. It will not install properly if FSX is not in the default install location. Even though it appears to find and install to the correct location it will not install one of the .dll's.

As for the flight characteristics- I am disappointed. In the reentry mission you get to simply sit there and watch until atmospheric flight is possible. Their documentation is lacking. Although they provide a 1000+ page Shuttle Manual there is nothing for the sim addon itself. The one reference I could find referred to to manuals/documentation that were not on the disc nor were they installed. Also the FSX graphics at orbit were disappointing to me as well though that is no fault of this addon.

If you really want to fly the Shuttle X-Plane is a much better choice and costs the same for a whole simulator! Even better is the Orbiter Sim which was written by a PhD, has a large community, and is free!

I don't recommend this product.

Product Description:
Space Shuttle Expansion for Flight Simulator X... It's out of this world!The development team at Captain Sim and the Publishers of JustFlight have done it again and this time they harnessed the skills of a Shuttle-trained Cosmonaut to develop a flight sim first. All six Shuttle orbiters are faithfully modelled and the systems and avionics are re-created to an extremely high level of detail. Software features a video `launch- to start the program and set the scene for the journey back to terra firma. Amazing animations include payload bay doors, SRMS (Shuttle Remote Manipulator System), drag chute, radiators and landing gear. Includes a voice package with 19 cues based on actual crew and Mission Control communications. This operates in real time according to the current flight situation. The package includes the radio aids that provide original Space Shuttle -19°/-17° steep OGS glide slope and shallow glide slope for runway 15 and 33 at the NASA Shuttle Landing Facility (X68) in Florida. Manual features a custom tutorial prepared by Just Flight to guide virtual astronauts back to Earth. Bonus version with limited features for Flight Simulator 2004 is included in the package.
