SSMS2 ?

[Mogget]

If the developer doesn't want anyone talking about other products on this forum, then the best idea would be to keep us regularly updated with news about SSMS2. That way, our minds wouldn't start to wander.

Simsquared (Exciting Simulations parent company) has a simulator called "VSF". It simulates sea, air, land, and low earth orbit. http://www.simsquared.com/products.php

I bet this is reason SSMS 2 is held up, but also notice that the last update there was 2011...

Hi, guys!

3 years already with no news? It is amazing how fast the 3 years went by!!

             Cheers,

Even Vinny is getting worried. Never thought that would happen.

SSMS2 is definitely gone and died.

No one single doubt about this.

A real pity.

[Cras]

It is.  A very big shame.   I really hoped the project would somehow get back on track, and the Shuttle would live on in a new version of this sim.  Enhanced graphics, more missions, really would have be fun.   But alas....seems to not be in the cards.

Very sad news

I sadly have seen developers of aviation and space flight simulators passing away in the past years due to nasty reasons. That's why I expected something like that might be the case related to the silence of SSM, which I already mentioned in this thread earlier. Very awful to read now that my fear was valid

If SSM2 is going to be released in the future, I won't hesitate only one second to buy it, and salute Alexander my way.

My sincerest condolences to Alexander's family and friends.

How can I help to keep his memory and dream alive?

+1 from me.

RIP

Great to see some of the "old hands" back on the forum though Completely understand that it was his wishes not to make something so private placed on the forum, but I would like to think that we were all a tight enough knit community that we could have all come together at a time like this.

We all definitely share in the loss of such an integral part of the SSMS community. In fact, I think I will do a launch commemorating him now

Yes. Hopefully the community becomes alive again. As we all know the reason for the long period of silence now. And I don't think that "admin" wanted this place to become silent. Although he didn't want to make his illness public, which resulted in lots of speculations and disappointments due to the lack of information and news.

I have mixed feelings now. I think a very important member of the team behind SSM has gone. On the other hand, I can't hide my exploding excitement to read that SSM2 might become reality against all speculations of the past months/years. On another other hand I think SSM2 is what he (Alex) wanted to give to us. I think he lives on in the simulator. And I probably always will think about him when I use it. Just like I always have to think about another developer of an addon of the other free space flight simulator which passed away a few years ago...
