You can experience dozens of failures ( APU/ Fuel Cells/ Freon Loop,GPC,IMU. Pretty much every systems are modelized and work together ( Electrical, Thermal, Environmental etc) You can also start everywhere on the Earth, to see the effect of a Polar Launch or a high altitude launch in Quito performance wise for example ( educationnal purpose.)
It is not a Mission Simulator, but you can create your own realistic scenario to reproduce a real mission, with limited payload. Here you can find a Launch tutorial using real Flight Data Files, from T-9mn until Post insertion actions, to see how close to Nasa procedure we can go You can experience over G's, Over EAS or Over Temperature leading to destruction. It is really a " True" Simulator of the Shuttle, by true I mean that a lot of public and officials data from Nasa were injected into the Flight Model. Started in 2015, the project is now reaching a mature phase, with a lot to do in a very realistic ( graphic and physical wise) Space Environment.Īnd some infos here how space environment was created in a Flight Sim: One project that had some very talented developpers was to reproduce the Shuttle, its systems, behavior and flight model Here to learn more about the heart of the project:
#SPACE FLIGHT SIMULATOR MAC FREE#
I played a lot to SSMS 2007 and Orbiter, then I discovered a few months ago Flight Gear Simulator, a kind of free and collaborative flight simulator available on Linux, Mac and Windows. And I wanted to talk to you about Flight Gear and its Space Shuttle Simulator for those who don't know. I Have been a Space Shuttle enthousiast for years now, like a lot of you I guess.
