Does anyone have this? if so, what's it like? From the pictures and videos I have seen it looks good. It's also a good price. I would buy the FSX version, not the FS9.

Just remember that you can't fly it, it just uses slew mode Undecided

You can fly it, just not into orbit or in orbit, but you can fly it out of orbit.

I'm fine with slew mode, it is quite fun accelerating up to 40,000 kias, and it's easy to use.

The only thing is when your in orbit the VC views go crazy and te camera view points get pushed way forward because of the head tilt effects built in to FSX. Wink

Well I suppose that might be what it's like in real life.

It says on the Justflight space shuttle page : "The development team at Captain Sim has harnessed the skills of a Shuttle-trained Cosmonaut to develop a flight sim first."

Trust me get it.
I have it, and have played with the config- and found out it has a jet engine Huh

So, i turned up the trust to like around 10000000, and it still will not take off! even with full flaps! Roll Eyes

well, what do i expect?

The shuttle is a glider, so you cannot take off like on aircraft.
Just use free flights available with the pack and have fun
