...Out for FS9 as well...I might be getting it because the model looks so nice...I can practice landings and such and that's about it...But who cares... Grin

Quote:
- Due to FS9 altitude limitations (99K ft) FS9 version has the following limitations:

     - 99K ft altitude limit
     - No Entry phase flight
     - TAEM flight start at lower altitude on HAC.

FS9 version costs less than FSX one.
Please note no upgrade from FS9 to FSX available except buying full FSX version.

** - The 'Space Shuttle' expansion features some of major systems that are normally in use during the following Space Shuttle Orbiter descent phases:

     - Entry through the atmosphere
     - Terminal Area Energy Management (TAEM)
     - Approach, Landing and Rollout

No launch, ascent or orbital phases/systems modeled.

*** - Entry plasma trail and orbiter body heat effects are not included in FS9 version.

Hmmm.. I'm not sure about this one.. The lack of capabilities of FS9 seems to limit the main feature of the product...

But for the price?  I think it should be like 10 bucks for FS9 because you can't do ANYTHING

But its just a model in FS9.  You can't really DO anything with it.  Even screenshots would be pointless Tongue

But without the ability to go into space what is the point of buying that model?

A modern military fast jet is far better for that! Grin

Ok I thought it would be nice seeing how it was; so I got it. Anyway, it's not that bad on the framerates as you're NOT going to be flying near any cities in it.

Landing it and flying it is really fun, though it's not like your going to be travelling around with world in it.

For 30$? Well, I would of liked the fsX version to be $20, only because you cannot launch it. If you could launch it, it would be an amazing addon.

Actually I had a few more goes of it, and I now think 30$ is perfectly acceptable and fine from it. It was awsome fun landing it!

Even my Dad is going to get it Tongue
