F-Sim Space Shuttle
Have you ever wondered what it’s like tolandthe Space Shuttle? Now you can find out. F-Sim Space Shuttle isacritically acclaimed flight simulator for Android smartphonesandtablets. It simulates the Space Shuttle approach and landinginincredible detail and accuracy. We’ve tried to combinerealisticflight dynamics with stunning graphics and fun game play:Eachlanding attempt takes just a few minutes. Our landing analysisandscoring system tells you exactly how to improve your nextlanding.It will make you come back and try again.Each flight starts at either 10,000 feet, already aligned withtherunway, or at up to 50,000 feet, before banking into theheadingalignment cone. During descent, the Orbiter is an unpoweredglider,so you will only have one chance to get it right. Astronautsusedto call it a flying brick: because of its 200,000 lbs. grossweightand low lift over drag ratio, the approach is six timessteeper andtwo times faster than a typical airliner approach.Landing theOrbiter takes practice, but the built-in autopilot demoandtutorials will get you started. After your first safetouchdown,chase that perfect landing, compare your high scoresonline withyour friends, earn medals, and unlock achievements.Experiment withdifferent weather conditions, night approaches, andeven emergencyscenarios or system failures. At the end of eachflight, watch areplay from different camera angles.You control the Orbiter’s pitch and roll axes by tiltingyourdevice. Alternatively, you may switch to on-screen analogsticks.Rudder, speed brake, gear, and chute are usually handled bytheautopilot, but you can have full manual control if you like.Forbeginners, we’ve added rectangles that visualize thedesiredapproach path. Simply try to stay within the corridorofrectangles, and they’ll guide you right to the touchdownpoint.Advanced pilots can turn them off and rely on the instrumentsinthe head-up display (HUD) instead. The simulatedguidance,navigation and control (GNC) systems are authenticreplications oftheir counterparts in the real Orbiter, and the HUDfeatures allthe instruments real Space Shuttle commanders used toemploy toskillfully land this unique aircraft. Now it’s your turnto give ita try.Here’s what others have said about it:“Because this app is so visually exciting, so technically deep,sosophisticated, so beautifully done in its realism, effects,anddocumentation, it earned a perfect 5/5 rating,Outstanding.”John Martellaro, Senior Editor for Reviews, The Mac Observer“I was excited to see that I can enjoy flying the spaceshuttlerealistically also on my iPhone and complement my addictionto ourSpace Shuttle Mission Simulator on PC when I am on theroad.”Alex L., www.space-shuttle-mission.com“Absolutely awesome app that is a must for shuttle huggersandaspiring astronauts.”Chris Bergin, Managing Editor, NASASpaceflight.com
