Israel Ponte 20 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi guys, For some days I'm being more and more impressed by Spacecrafts, Shuttles, Rockets and stuff... So I went on searching for a good Space Sim (let's call it Space Sim)... What I found was parts of my wishes distributed on many sims... Some of them have a better graphics but a poor physics engine, other have great shuttle systems configured but poor graphics, for example... Well, I know there's an specific topic for that but, I'd like to suggest Aerosoft one thing: Why don't you guys develop a great Space Sim? You guys are the best addon/sim developers I've ever seen. I'm sure you would make a great work on that, and that the FSX customers would at least be interested on being a costumer of that product too. For this I would suggest: - Graphics quality as your addons on FSX have; - Shuttle operations (well modeled operational systems, good 3d model, ISS attachment) - Saturn V/Apollo based vehicles (Saturn V launcher/Apollo Lunar Module) // I suggested those 2 because they already worked, so it's not necessary to theorize about what would be a plane to mars for example (I won't discuss here if apollo happened... you got what I meant without getting on this discussion) - Transfers (tranfers short tutorials included, graphical transfer planning interface) - Simulation based on the person (possibility to walk on the plane or outside the plane) - Good physics model I'd like to know what other Aerosoft Forum users think... Is it a good idea? Would you like it? What would you like to have on a product like this in case Aerosoft guys wanna do it/think it's possible to do it? Please excite yourselves with this image: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPetroSS 542 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The most serious space sim I know of is Orbiter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israel Ponte 20 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Look at this one: http://asn.aerosoft.com/?p=10870 I'll take a look on it Mathjis! Seems like great Stuff! It promises a good physics model if I understood correctly... The graphics and modeling things are easier things to work on... Well, I'll take a look first them I'll tell anything The most serious space sim I know of is Orbiter I'll also check orbiter out thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiflyer 129 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Or you could go for a little whimsy as well and try Kerbal space program. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israel Ponte 20 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 LOL I saw this Kerbal one... It's fun and it's worth but it's not a sim LOL... well so far, I liked most the orbiter one... but it kinda uses default gauges and systems... If we had some addons for orbiter it would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel Ponte 20 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Look at this one: http://asn.aerosoft.com/?p=10870 Mathijs correct me if I am wrong but I couldn't fly on this one... it's like a planetarium or something... very cool, but not a sim...

Israel Ponte 20 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hint hint, nudge nudge???? LOL LOOOOOOOOOOL Well I would be happy with a Saturn V/Apollo and a Space Shuttle I hope someday, some great Simulation company invest on it LOL Aaaand NASA has published the entire Space Shutlle manual on its website (EDIT: http://titleofmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/390651main_shuttle_crew_operations_manual.pdf )! It's possible to make a great Shuttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoreira 29 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi Israel, Check out this one: http://www.space-shuttle-mission.com/. Of all the ones i've tried, it's by far the best and most realistic. Orbiter is great for exploring the universe, this one is excellent ti simulate the Shuttle. I love that feeling taht i'm gonna crash on the glide-in, after many hours of a sucessfull mission... Have fun. g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abermann 1241 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Agreed! Space Shuttle Simulator is indeed great! Very realistic... But has a steep learning curve... Requires you, to read and understand a lot of theoretical stuff if you have to fly it properly! But once that's done - It's a really great sim!

But its graphics are not good enough and it doesn't allow transfer or other types of spacecrafts... I got the demo! It's marvelous! I'm waiting for the next version to buy it.
