About F-Sim Space Shuttle
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to land the Space Shuttle? Now you can find out. F-Sim Space Shuttle is a critically acclaimed flight simulator for Android smartphones and tablets. It simulates the Space Shuttle approach and landing in incredible detail and accuracy. We’ve tried to combine realistic flight dynamics with stunning graphics and fun game play: Each landing attempt takes just a few minutes. 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. Landing the Orbiter takes practice, but the built-in autopilot demo and tutorials will get you started. 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 weather 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. 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.
Here’s what others have said about it:
“Because this app is so visually exciting, so technically deep, so sophisticated, so beautifully done in its realism, effects, and documentation, it earned a perfect 5/5 rating, Outstanding.”
John Martellaro, Senior Editor for Reviews, The Mac Observer
“I was excited to see that I can enjoy flying the space shuttle realistically also on my iPhone and complement my addiction to our Space Shuttle Mission Simulator on PC when I am on the road.”
Alex L., www.space-shuttle-mission.com
“Absolutely awesome app that is a must for shuttle huggers and aspiring astronauts.”

I love this game and I've finally mastered how to perform a perfect landing. The biggest problem is that when I reopen the app, all my previous landing replays have gone from my previous session: even if I archive a landing replay. When I try to record a replay from within the app, the app crashes.

Game work OK when you are above the clouds but as soon as you pass through then the scenery just turns black and you crash almost instantly. Also a few of the camera modes are glitchy and make the game unplayable. Shame as I've wanted this game for ages but never owned a phone good enough to play it

On my galaxy tab 4 7.0, there is graphic corruption. On each side of hud, the graphics are folded up, creating a tunnel effect. Other than that, it's great. My other devices work fine.

This app is the best simulator app I've ever seen, the sound effects are brilliant but... We haven't had an update since January and it is getting a bit old as I've have made it harder for myself but scores are too confusing maybe if the score was out of 10, other than that it is a brilliant app.

This App delivers full detail to landing a American Space Shuttle. With Amazing Graphics And Good Physics. This App Could Not Be Any Better. With No Exceptions I Would Pitch in The .99 Cents.

I play this a lot. The graphics are great and is challenging. The only downside is the need to be nearly perfect to not crash. However, same thing applies when you're flying the real thing

It would be a lot better if there was the re-enter part as well. Why is there never any updates? No new features nothing new. It's getting very boring

So am I missing something or is this strictly a landing simulator and not a space flight simulator as the title says? Please if I am missing something point it out to me. If I am not missing anything and this is just a landing sim then I feel completely ripped off. Can u please help me?

The only thing that could possibly be better than this is if it were augmented with any of the launch aborts. A return to launch site abort (RTLS) would be spectacular!

Good fun. Very realistic. Great graphics n sound. If u want a REAL flying challenge, this is the 1. (Unlike all other "flight" sims on play). Here's the only 1 that's worth it. Pity no full re-entry, but still brill as it is. I'm all 4 iss undock n re-enter n land...... Make it happen pl. Top job dev.

Great game design, fluid and smooth graphics, fantastic replays and challenging score system make this a winner. If I could ask for anything it would be to include the take off, orbit and re-entry phases, hehe but that's being greedy!!

After the latest update I have been encountering a bug everytime i run this app. After completing a flight when i go back to the menu the whole screen goes blank and i don't see anything. The only way of fixing this problem is to exit app and then clearing up the memory of my phone and then restarting the app. Please fix it as soon as possible. Update: re installing app fixed the problem

Best and only shuttle sim.. Would love to see a game go in the direction where there's a launch, ISS dock, and reentry sounds worth a $9.99 price point at least =D perhaps a similar Apollo launch and reentry sounds worth a $9.99 price point as well.. Just saying!! I got ideas!!

Beautiful graphics, Smith frame rates and precise controls. This is a hit to pickup and play. I'm not even that much into the space shuttle yet I love landing this thing. Would love to see this company make a flight sim with the same graphics and controls. I would buy that in an instant.

The best sim on the google play store. Incredible graphics and feel. Very challenging. Can choose many different scenarios like day or night landing, alternate runway, cross winds, clouds, turbulence, malfunctions, air temp, air pressure and many more or you can do random scenarios. Very pleased.

This is quite literally one of the best flight simulators I have used, and certainly the best I have used on a mobile device... Everything looks incredible and works flawlessly, exactly as designed without issue. In fact, my only complaint about this simulator is that it is not available for Linux-based operating systems (such as SteamOS and Ubuntu) or Sony PlayStation products (such as the Sony PlayStation Vita and Sony PlayStation 4)!

Great job on your app but it could be a start point from space like for a Re-entering that way I or someone could get the feeling of space just putting it out there something to look into.

Hasn't been updated for almost two years now and still the best Simulator for its genre, with Leaderboards and flight recording. Thousands of hours of seemingly unending variables to land. Absolutely THE MOST realistic flight simulator I've had. The HUD and flight dynamics are the best. With programmable Landing AND Weather AND System Failures, this is hands down the best in Sim programming, progressive in its release, and staying power in its continuing challenge to touchdown right on the sweetspot. Now over 3 years of playing, I even made 10's of thousands of landings and the "over a million points" club. Even better is the "beta recording" first in its genre is excellent and can be fun with professional editing apps. ENJOY

Sensitive controls allow very accurate flying. Accurate modeling of aerodynamics include induced drag effects, realistic stall/spin characteristics and stall recovery, also ground effect evident. Graphics are great with multiple camera angles and playback too. Thanks to developers for a wonderful app.

You have to try and land the space shuttle the best way you can. I would like it even more if there was more radio chatter I love that stuff and maybe put some failures that need you guided in by a pair of F-35,s he'll yeah

I love this game, I really wish the scope of shuttle operation was greater than just landing post reentry phase. It would be fun to see another release that involves launch and orbital insertion, perhaps even orbital maneuver. Thanks for this great sim and the menu is glitchy on my samsung tab 3 fyi
