Me too....any promising good news incoming? 

[Bartman]

Let's hope so. It's been almost 4 months since last update.

Shame the devs wont release the sim with even just a couple of simple missions to start with. It must be close to that point by now surely?

Hello guys!

Just thought I drop a line here just to remind everyone that we still are alive and kicking.
We will release a more "usual" news update soon, but as you maybe noticed we have some problem with our site.
And the guy with any knowledge off all that Java,CSS,JS,HTML,Flash animation crap is on vacation.
Apart from that our resellers changed their business system so the old key-generator we had in C must be re-written in Java or HTML.
Turned out the Java key-generator was a piece of cake, while making it work on their servers was a real pain in the a**.
After we gone through the so called KeySDK they provided we came to the conclusion that you couldnt rename the key-file. And their test program required a path to a input text file while it actually always read a textfile from the folder that included the exe program.
When we mailed them the final key-generator and provided a description of how their SDK actually worked and added some personal thoughts about it, they never got back to tell us when it was uploaded by them.
We found that out for our selves later by logging in to our account.
Wasted many days on that stuff, but thats history now.

To answer Bartmans question we have four missions finished at the moment. One of them needs graphics improvement. For the moment we concentrate on finishing the FSS and RSS on the launch pad.
We will also provide some new screenshots when we release the "real" news of animated ocean waves and some new bumpmapped clouds that looks promising.
But that will have to wait until we got the site in order again.

Bye for now!

Excellent news!!

So I check in here every month or so for the last few years. Two years ago there were mentions of showing pictures, but I can't find them anywhere. Really? A video would be great but not even a picture? Please point out to me where they are if I am wrong. This is a very niche market and the developers will not retire off this game, maybe break even counting labor, so I completely understand that they will work on it only when day to day life permits.  What I don't understand is the lack of communication from the developers.
This market is small but made up of hardcore simmers. I could understand the hesitation if they had presold games, like Star Citizen, but they haven't. A weekly email or even monthly email with pics or videos on a specific day that was always on time would be nice. Even if the news is bad news the core group will appreciate it and the trash talkers are still going to buy the game, be it next month, next year or 10 years. If the game is dead, it's not like there is any money to made off hyping it up (AKA Star Citizen). An active community would go along way in the mean time while we wait, but that rest in the hands of the developers. I know I'm buying regardless of when the release is. I hope this is taken as advice and not criticism. I appreciate the developers hard work in this small market. I think we all do.

Well another year later, I'm still here. I see we have some new images. Thanks for those, the sim looks great. Any new news regarding game status and release forecast you can share? Thanks in advance!

While we are waiting for news on SSMS2 I thought myself: "How about going over the older version to remind myself how to fly the (virtual) shuttle?" (as if it was needed ). So here I am, on what probably is the 5th or 6th time I play through every single mission all the way from STS-1, and still enjoying it like the first time. Currently I've just completed STS-27, and I'll be retrieving LDEF-1 shortly along with Columbia on STS-32.
@Admin, is there any chance to get a "Latest News" update? Since the latest screenshots you've posted, I can't really wait to know more, as the say goes, appetite comes with eating Regardless, just wanted to let you know that I'm still having a blast with SSMS2's elder brother in the meantime. Wishing you all the best,
Pappolus

Great news, thank you for the update. Lately I am so busy with my Berlin property sale that wasn't following this forum and updates as I used to before. Hope to hear more news on SSMS2 soon.

Vincent, you deserve the patient cheerleader award!  Thanks for being the *gentle* push on this board!  And yes, it looks like this is a decade-long build because lack of funds, cooperation from others, and the need for Admin and co. to earn a living.  When it comes out, I'm sure it will be far more functional, and potentially screw-up-able if you do something unwise (like a bad abort).

Happy Thanksgiving and may your efforts be blessed!

You can help me with the RMS in the sts130 comm 1257.
It does not save me.
Thank you

Thanks for the very welcome update (at last ) and for the new screenshots. I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy new year and a happy new decade, which hopefully will bring us SSMS2 (fingers crossed)
Cheers for now,
