Greetings!
Just wanted to say how awesome this program is! I used to have the Virgin Shuttle "sim" back in the early 90's. Having followed the STS program from the beginning, it was a must have for my flight sim collection. I must have done every mission a dozen times.
For the last 4-5 years, I've often thought "why doesn't anyone revamp that sim with today's graphics?" One day last month, I was reading material about the Buran on wikipedia when I saw a link to this sight. I was blown away! Better than Christmas! I immediately downloaded the demo and was just giddy. Here it was....just as I imagined it should be.
I flew the demo a few times then bought the program and it just gets better and better! Due to the old virgin sim, I was able to jump right in with no trouble what so ever. I'm up to sts-88 and am a little stuck with the Unity docking but will get through eventually. Can't wait to get to the other ISS construction missions!
I did skip ahead and complete sts-401. Great mission! So was sts-47. Being able to go inside the spacelab made me wonder if ISS entry might be in our future? THAT..would be the shiznit right there! =) It's on my new wish list. If I had to add anything else it would be VAB roll-out, increased shuttle pre-launch prep(t-minus 6hrs), and mid-deck entry. But, those are just wishes, not critiques.
All-in-all, This was the best 50 bucks I've put down for a sim in a long time. My thanks to all who put in and continue to put in all the quality work. Nicely done! May all your "endevours" be "on at the 90"!!
