F-Sim Space Shuttle v2.0.081

With F-Sim Space Shuttle, a number one flight simulator for iOS finally
arrives on Android. It simulates the space shuttle’s approach and
landing in unprecedented detail and accuracy. Take command of the
Orbiter during the final minutes of descent, and touchdown safely at the
John F. Kennedy Space Center or Edwards Air Force Base.
After the landing, you can watch a replay of your flight from different
perspectives, like a chase plane or from the tower. A sophisticated
landing analysis also is available, and only the best pilots are awarded
a “perfect landing” score.

The Orbiter’s approach is seven times steeper and twice as fast compared
to a commercial airliner’s approach. Also, because during descent it is
an unpowered glider, you only have one chance to get it right.
The included manual and tutorials will familiarize you with the head up
display (HUD) and explain the different approach and landing phases.
After some practice and your first successful touchdown, you can try
crosswind or night landings.
Striking realism
Flight dynamics, the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems, and the HUD are simulated accurately and in great detail.
Follow the guidance symbol in the HUD to stay on the heading alignment
cone (HAC) and align the orbiter with the runway centerline, and then
follow the flare reference symbol to perform the preflare maneuver.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on the visual landing aids like the
precision approach path indicators (PAPI) and the ball/bar light system
to stay on the outer and inner glideslopes, respectively.
Let the autopilot control rudder, speed brake, gear, and chute, or
control them yourself. If you dare, simulate system failures like a
stuck speed brake or HUD/guidance malfunctions.
A wide range of options
Take your place in the commander’s seat in the stunning virtual cockpit,
or view your flight from different external camera perspectives. Choose
between accelerometer (tilt) controls or (virtual) analog sticks to
steer the Orbiter. Land on both shuttle landing facilities, and fly
either final or full approaches by selecting one of the four possible
HACs. Configure day or night landings, clear or overcast skies,
visibility, wind, and many other parameters.
Achievements and leaderboards
It will take some practice, but your first safe, good, and perfect
landings are rewarded with OpenFeint achievements. A total of 15 medals
and badges are waiting for the top astronauts, and you can unlock two
secret, hidden achievements. Once you’ve become an expert space shuttle
commander, compare your scores on the online leaderboards with the best
pilots in the world.
