Space Shuttle 2
Here is the long-awaited successor to our critically acclaimed flight simulator which simulates the Space Shuttle approach and landing in incredible detail and accuracy.
This is a completely new version, rewritten from scratch. Our custom rendering engine delivers desktop class flight simulation to mobile devices: a unique combination of realistic flight dynamics, stunning graphics, and fun game play.
You’ve never landed a Space Shuttle before? We’ve got you covered: Included are several tutorials with varying degrees of autopilot assist. Our landing analysis and scoring system tells you exactly how to improve your next landing. It will make you come back and try again.
Each flight starts at either 10,000 feet, already aligned with the runway, or at up to 50,000 feet, before banking into the heading alignment cone. During descent, the Orbiter is an unpowered glider, so you will only have one chance to get it right.
Astronauts used to call it a flying brick: because of its 200,000 lbs. gross weight and low lift over drag ratio, the approach is six times steeper and two times faster than a typical airliner approach.
After your first safe touchdown, chase that perfect landing, compare your high scores online with your friends, earn medals, and unlock achievements. Experiment with different wind conditions, night approaches, and even emergency scenarios or system failures. At the end of each flight, watch a replay from different camera angles.
You control the Orbiter’s pitch and roll axes by tilting your device. Alternatively, you may switch to on-screen analog sticks or use a gamepad. Rudder, speed brake, gear, and chute are usually handled by the autopilot, but you can have full manual control if you like.
For beginners, we’ve added rectangles that visualize the desired approach path. Simply try to stay within the corridor of rectangles, and they’ll guide you right to the touchdown point.
Advanced pilots can turn them off and rely on the instruments in the head-up display (HUD) instead. The simulated guidance, navigation and control (GNC) systems are authentic replications of their counterparts in the real Orbiter, and the HUD features all the instruments real Space Shuttle commanders used to employ to skillfully land this unique aircraft.
Now it’s your turn to give it a try.
A new orbit mode lets you take the Orbiter for a spin around the planet, and we’re working on a full atmospheric re-entry scenario, which, among other new features, will be released as free updates in the coming months.
There are no ads or in app purchases, and we don’t collect any personal data.
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
F-Sim|Space Shuttle 2 is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It takes full advantage of retina display devices, but still runs smoothly on older hardware. It’s been tested on all iOS versions since 14.0.
Android
Enjoy the Space Shuttle simulator also on Android phones and tablets. Due to the high optimization level and three different quality settings the game can be played also on older devices (starting with Android 8.0).
Desktop, Apple TV and consoles
Versions for desktop computers, including Windows and Apple based systems, set-top boxes (Apple TV) and consoles are in the making, but at the time no release dates can be given.
