SSMS2 ?

[bjbeard]

I hope it has a sandbox mode. This fidelity combined with the KSP expansiveness would be just awesome.

Sorry, just has a vaporware moment.


Oh wait...

[Cras]

There already is a sim out there that is a solar system sandbox, you can do whatever you want with the Shuttle in there.


SSM's appeal is that you simulate real historical flights.

[bertram]

the new simulator will never come out.
all wait for nothing

had the hope it came out but nonononon

Any chance of a Christmas update?

[MECO]

There's probably a greater chance of pigs learning to fly than having a christmas update. One would imagine the dev team would post if there was any genuine news. Since they haven't, one can only assume there is none, nada, zip.

Had such high hopes for the sequel.

[ZuluPapaKilo]

While I have been trying to keep up hope, the length of the silence has become ominous.

I am used to following mods for games that give no updates for long periods, that is expected and normal. When it happens to a professional product it rarely ends well.

What annoys me the most is the "good news are on the way" message that was posted on June 12!!! What was the point of that if there was nothing to report?? I apologise if that sounds very critical, but surely you can see my point?

What annoys me the most is the "good news are on the way" message that was posted on June 12!!!

My thoughts exactly. It's not cool to keep your customers dangling from a string and then not deliver. Sure fire way of losing your customer-base if you ask me.

Whilst the dev/beta team are not Exciting Simulations so we can't come down too hard on them, they are closest to the spokespeople of the company that I've ever seen during my times on the forum. One would hope they were people of their word

So I think it's not too exaggerated when I say that this dream is over.

Sadly I observe a general decline regarding development of aviation and space flight software, both payware and freeware. Developers suddenly disappear, and sometimes they even remove their software from the web.

My interest in aviation and space flight is shrinking. I don't see a chance for good software to play with in future, and I don't see exciting space programs taking place in order to inspire me. Except hat China is taking aim for the Moon with good success. While the US, EU and Russia are stuck in their technological hibernation. Yes, we still have the ISS. But for more than 10 years while we had Mir before. And we have Soyuz for decades. It's really boring meanwhile.

The 1970s and 1980s really were nice decades for kids to become interested in certain things. But these days? Maybe cell phones, Facebook, Twitter and console gaming (which killed MS FS)

Bah,,,Humbug.   Wow, guys if SSMS 2 doesn't happen, we will survive. But until you hear directly from the company just keep up the faith. And who knows, once the current president and his minions leave, NASA may get the funding and center stage once again.  Anyway  Have a Merry Xmas and a better New Year!

Do you have some news to tell?

Feels like the first three of Duke Nukem Forever.

I understand that the devs don't want to talk about serious events, which delay development.

But as I saw with Greenheart Games' Game Dev Tycoon. Generating a real hype with interesting PR like the "Piracy Bug" in the "pirated" version, will push the game.

But it is a service to the fanbase to show some progress on SSM2 and the fanbase is generating a basic hype and that generates PR and more customers.

But even bad news are news...

[vinny002]

Hi, Hyphon!

No news to report, I'm just waiting very patiently for the SSMS2 to be released!

             Cheers,
          Vincent

[DenisFerrari]

SSMS2 won't be released any more, pretty sure of that....

[Cras]

yeah, I am starting to think SSMS2 is not gonna happen....

sad really, it seemed like they were gonna make it quite a thing.

But alas, it is not meant to be.
