Product Description
It's out of this world - literally! The iconic Space Shuttle has been the stalwart means for man to get into space for many years - launching satellites, carrying out experiments and helping to construct the new frontier, the ISS International Space Station. Now the skilful crew over at Captain Sim, in consultation with Space Shuttle-trained Russian Pilot/Cosmonaut Roman Y. Romanenko, bring you this flight sim first so that you can experience the level of skill required to bring the Shuttle back from the edge of space, through re-entry of the atmosphere all the way to a safe landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Featuring all six Orbiter vehicles, Space Shuttle comes with numerous animations, including the payload doors and cargo bay manipulator arm as well as the more mundane items like the gear and speed brakes. A highly detailed and accurate 2D set of panels as well as a functional Virtual Cockpit are at your disposal along with a set of custom voice packages. Manual features a custom tutorial prepared by Just Flight to guide virtual astronauts back to Earth. Bonus version with limited features for Flight Simulator 2004 is included in the package

I am telling you now. Do not buy this product. It does not install correctly and will not work. The download that helps this problem that is on the website is does not work either. The support team for this product does not help either. Save your money for something else.

This sim has some great virtual cockpits. Unfortunately the install was a pain. After 2 emails with support I finally figured out the issue on my own. It will not install properly if FSX is not in the default install location. Even though it appears to find and install to the correct location it will not install one of the .dll's.
As for the flight characteristics- I am disappointed. In the reentry mission you get to simply sit there and watch until atmospheric flight is possible. Their documentation is lacking. Although they provide a 1000+ page Shuttle Manual there is nothing for the sim addon itself. The one reference I could find referred to to manuals/documentation that were not on the disc nor were they installed. Also the FSX graphics at orbit were disappointing to me as well though that is no fault of this addon.
If you really want to fly the Shuttle X-Plane is a much better choice and costs the same for a whole simulator! Even better is the Orbiter Sim which was written by a PhD, has a large community, and is free!
I don't recommend this product.

After installing this expansion not only did my computer crash(which is extremely rare with XP)but my desktop was damaged and now get an error message when I try to restore it. I tried re-installing the software with the same result. I will no longer trust anything from "Just Flight" again.
