Great but
Flappy bird is finally dead!!
It’s extremely hard. I know it’s more of a sim that a game but like it’s impossible to get a star when landing. Can the game just cut us some slack?
Literally no updates for years and STILL the best!

Expect near perfect realism and visual perfection, with realistic flight physics, and lovely a replay and landing rating system. If you earn a "hard landing", be proud. "Safe landing" is even harder. It's been top shelf since day one. You WILL be impressed, but don't expect any updates. Considering how I'm still not tired of it after 5+ years, it deserves every bit of 5/5 stars. ??
Addictive as all get out.

Years ago at the JSC in Houston, there was a shuttle landing simulator that the public could try. Absolutely loved it but alas, no such thing exists now. I’ve got very few hours in GA aircraft but enough to know if a Cessna in X-Plane or MSFS “feels” right. With the exception of a little novelty time in other types my “career” is strictly desktop wannabe. So I depend on real pilots to tell me if something is right in a sim. Sadly, though I’ve met some I don’t have any shuttle astronauts in my contacts. So I’ve been watching YouTube and this thing is dead on as far as the flight model, HAC patterns, scenery and that gorgeous HUD... wow. Even the cooks are as scripted though a lot cleaner than what I’ve heard on actual videos. So knowing that this simulation, while immersive, is “just” an app and won’t let me know what it’s really like; it is very addictive. The strive for precision and getting that “Good” rating is compelling. I’ve had to dial back a little. I was getting fairly consistent safe to good ratings and even had a “Good” with an overcast, gusty crosswind, high density altitude and significant turbulence. Also several “Hard” landings. So I disabled all of the automatic functions and my stats tanked. I’ve now started over with the default. My recommendation is to get really good with the defaults first and THEN dial in weather variables and save the manual controls for last. The documentation states that IRL astronauts have to have a minimum of 1000 safe landings in the STA before they could crew a shuttle. My only quibble is the rest of the instruments are eye candy. That one at the JSC had a three round set. The last one you’d lose the HUD and would have to go head down and fly the needles on approach with an eye on the FCP page to keep on the HAC and slope. That would be pretty cool. But as my self evaluation has improved, I’ve got a few hundred good landings before I think about failing the HUD. You’ve got time developers if you’re so inclined.

The game is so fun I just want to play it again and again. The game has no ads and it is very realistic.You can also rate your favorite flights too. Also you can make your conditions for your flight.So what are you waiting for DOWNLOAD it NOW!
Excellent ! Very realistic and fun.

Buy this app if you want a very accurate Space Shuttle Simulator. Flight model, sounds and scenery are spectacular. Works great on my iPhone 7 plus. Lots of options to adjust controls if needed. You can replay your landings for review, you can also record the videos and save them to your photo file to share with friends. Very cool. I've made about a hundred landings so far and it's still difficult to get it right ... very realistic. Choose between landing at Edwards or at the Cape. Day or night, clear or bad weather. Five Stars all around !
Best space shuttle sim

I first tried this sim a few years ago on my Samsung tablet, very good graphics, good sound FX, and controls are basic. Although the sim is limited to flying the final approach it requires a lot of practice & patience to at least survive a landing. Now with an IPad, I purchased this sim to see if I could get a Perfect landing but without success. But that’s the attraction of this sim. I like the new updates for the sim with the option to manually operate certain controls, and to save your best landings. Best of all the developer is still improving this sim.
