When it's January, 2024 and you're installing the game on a new PC to teach your 12 year old how to Shuttle.

Thank you for the end of the year update. I hope that all of you had a good holiday. It is great to see that you almost have a fully working beta version of the program ready. I am looking forward to when the Space Shuttle Mission 2 program is finished, thank you for your hard work and continuing to develop the new simulator.

I understand, some useful development tools to test various things in game are welcome to try out different things without having to go back and forth and do it quicker.
Sorry if I came out as being pedantic and nitpicking, just wasn't sure what it was, especially since I remember that in SSMS 2007 there were some "alterations" between IRL missions and sim METs.
I now know better  ;D

Greetings to all, really looking forward to SSMS2

You are correct, of course. :-[

As the sim is now you can actually manually control the sun. Something that would be really nice in real life :D
Mostly to be able to test night/day texture transition and to improve visibility during testing.
But we are tempted to perhaps keep that "cheat" in the final release.

Thanks for the end of the year update, good to hear that the beta is approaching finally.
Also, don't wanna be the guy, and I know it's still very much WIP, but I'll point it out just in case: the real STS-93 landed before midnight at MET 4 days and 22 hours. I know this stuff is secondary to having the mission work correctly, but since the landing was included in the screenshots, couldn't "not notice it"

Happy New Year to you, the whole team and your families, may it be filled with joy, health and satisfaction

Hello again fellow space-shuttle maniacs!

Let me start by hoping you all had a merry Christmas and that you will have a happy new year. Its about bloody time we all have one good year without pandemics, war, terrorists and bad economy!

The beta of SSMS2 is as good as finished. STS-93 took some time to finish since it was the first landing at KSC with the new sim. I also forgot that the 3D of the IUS and Chandra X-ray telescope still wasnt updated.

The STS-93 mission will need a final run through before we can declare the sim as worthy Beta version. We also have some small ideas of making a smarter time-skip system, to prevent all switch flipping and repeated actions becoming a pain in the butt. This will of course be noticed in the achievements after mission completion.

Added some screenshots from STS-93 below.

Hope to get back to you soon :-*

I just want to say thank you to the developers for posting an update and letting us know how things are progressing. I am glad to see that development of SSMS2 is still progressing and that it seems like there will be a beta version soon. Hopefully this means that the program will be released sometime in the next year, crossing my fingers. Thank you for continuing to work on it and I will continue to wait patiently until you have a version of SSMS2 that is available for a public release for us to purchase.

Another long awaited life-sign as usual.
Communication of STS-128 is finally finished. I think it works with all communication files downloaded so no more parsing of old communication files.

There's no separate female communications as we speak. That would take a lot more time to add.
Only one mission to add communications to and test then we have a beta version with four missions  ;D. 

And the last mission is a IUS release and shouldn't cause to much issues, so a beta finished before next year is as good as promised.

I also added some screenshots from the STS-128 mission.
As usual, no processing of the images and as you see there's no anti-aliasing or other fancy stuff enabled on the graphics card.

More news will come here before christmas.
