It is difficult Alex. I just love this thing so much I want to be the best I can. I take firefighting the same way. ;D

I haven't got round to actually installing mine yet so I can't pass judgment. But this Sim is barely 15 hrs in the mainstream market and already many of these guys have either got into Orbit, docked to the ISS and even landed. Are these people playing on the easy level or is this Sim a bit of a doddle?

I didn't think it was so easy, still trying on my 3rd attempt I made it to the airstrip but must have landed too hard. I will land the fsx shuttle once for confidence then back to shuttle for realism.

Thanks again, Hope to have a picture with shuts deployed on my next try.

Questions to the  SSM Team?

I saw on the HUD speed near 145 Kts, is not a bit to low the speed? What is the lowest speed ore stall speed in the Shuttle?

Ore L/D max? Lift/Drag for the best gliding.

The Picture are great.
