New SSO

[Rich H]

Some pics of my new Space Shuttle from Captain Sim, I bought it as Captain Sim are holding their autumn sale. C & C welcome. Can be a bit hard to fly sometimes, i think I once got myself into Gimbel lock, so I re-entered the Earth's atmosphere in a 90 degrees angle. But I certainly recommend buying it.

So the shuttle has a 'frappin 8 ball' as well? I thought that was perculiar to the command module sans apollo.

So does the shuttle simulate real flight physics when in space..? I thought it wasn't possible in FSX yet?

Nope! It still flys like a plane under water when in space.

How does it sink it space...?

Surely there are no 'flight' physics in space? Any object no matter what it is, will go whatever way you point it and apply thrust, and wont stop until you apply braking thrust, or accelerate with gravitational pull, or the reverse?

So physics in one sense, but not 'flight' as we know it here on earth?

In the hands of Isaac Newton and all that
