"Its always a pleasure when I have a hard time conveying just how good a program is. SSM07 just blew me away with its attention to detail in every and all aspects of the Space Shuttle. Its visual and audio recreation of the Shuttle is top-notch, and the simulation of the STS operations from launch to landing, from my personal experience, has no equal. The ever present factor of gravity was the only thing keeping me grounded to reality; the immersion that SSM07 provides into this specific realm felt that convincing. Its definitely given me a new appreciation for what all astronauts do when they break the bonds of Earth. Short and sweet, its hard not for me to believe that SSM07 is definitely a must for any space simulation fan, STS or otherwise."

"Verdict? OK, it is only a preview, I wasn't looking at finished code, but SSM2007 is very neat and the release deserves to attract a major fan base. Space Shuttle Mission is not an arcade-style sim and so the turn and burn brigade need to look elsewhere, but if procedural sims are your thing, or you want the most realistic simulation of the space shuttle released to date, you have found what you are looking for."

"I must confess I expected a rather boring experience when hitting the first mission's 'launch minus 12 seconds' button. But I was wrong...the ensuing launch sequence was breathtaking enough to keep me glued to the screen well until the Shuttle was safely orbiting in space...I did try the CaptainSim space shuttle in FSX some time ago and although the craft was nicely modeled, the functionality of the program leaves to be desired. You couldn't DO much except fly the landing, or 'slew' the craft into orbit.
The first thing I can tell you: that is entirely different with SSM2007 ! This is indeed a stand-alone SIMULATOR and just about every function of the shuttle, from initial countdown to final landing can be executed! ...This product was a surprise and will STAY on my hard disk for a while, something I did not expect at first !"
