progress of SSMS 2

[vinny002]

Hi, guys!

On the twitter page, I saw R&D convening and summarizing the progress of the SSMS 2 and the SSMS 2 is greater than ever. The SSMS 2 is really looking good and keep up the excellent work!!

                             Cheers,

I will be happy when I get it and can build the ISS from scratch...

Not sure if anyone can answer this for me, But I do have a question about SSM2. I read that SSM2 is going to have the same mission and new ones, with graphic enhancments, and a few supprises. My question is why make a whole new version, when an expansion pack, could do all that, Instead of making a whole new version. Not sure why the new version, instead of an expansion pack. Just courious, not sure if a new engine was used or prehaps the developers bought new development software that would allow for greater emersion in to the sim. I was just courious, it just hit me the other day when I've seen others do this. I thought this was an interesting question to ask. Your Friend as always, Conan.

BTW you know the old 80's rock song, "I want my MTV" , well since the annoucment of SSM2. I've been singing " I want my SSM2" hehe, thought ya'll might get a kick out of that.

Short answers:

1. We haven't announced all the new features yet
2. SSMS2 cannot be an "expansion pack" of SSMS1 for the same reasons FSX could not be an expansion pack of FS9

Are there any estimates for us as to when SSM2 will likely to be released?  And, have you still got a lot of work on the tables from a development standpoint?

Hi, guys!!

I wanted to ask you, will the SSMS 2 have accurate astrodynamics like micro drag above 400,000 feet and in low earth orbit like where the ISS is? I know that at an altitude of 400,000 feet in SSM2007 the atmosphere magically stops where the atmosphere have no effect on the space shuttle at all. Now for the aerodynamics, I think the aerodynamics is accurate in SSM2007 when the space shuttle is in the atmosphere.

To prevent spamming the forums up, I have an SSM 2 question so I will just post it here.

I was reading this post from a few years back :
http://www.space-shuttle-mission.com/forum/index.php?topic=187.0

It mentions a networked type of multiplayer MCC for SSMS, I know there are probabaly more pressing things on the agenda for SSMS 2 but I was curious if there will be any type of support for add-on developers in SSMS2? Maybe we can help create new features and add-ons for the simulator.

One other thing, I was at KSC around the middle of 2010 and stopped by the gift shop and spotted this:



and they were in the austronaut hall of fame gift shop too:



glad to see it retail =)

Thanks!

Hi miranoff,

SSMS:TCE has been selling at the NASA shops (and other channels) since June-July last year Thanks for the field reporting: it's cool seeing the boxes at KSC.

As for the features set of SSMS2, follow the forum, our Twitter and Facebook page: once in a while, we make public select sneak peeks, hints about new features etc.

Stay tuned.

Is there an estimate about the new space shuttle mission coming out ??

I know ..i must be missing some information, but i know it is going to be something beautiful, and i'm just eager to start from scratch with the first mission again!

Just any guesses or realistic info will do !

Sorry ..Admin

We've just released a new teaser: JSC will get respect in our next version. More to come.
