Space Shuttle Atlantis

[Jetsgo]

I got the new Space Shuttle Atlantis today, and it's fast! when I took off, it took about 3 seconds for it to gain full speed. Then just to
test it out, I took off completley vertically! I climbed and climbed until I saw the curvature of the earth. Little did I know that the spacecraft
was gaining speed, and I lost control, I did about 70 loops

The Atlantis is set to be NASA's next space project. If you like to fly HIGH in FS, this is probley the fastest and highest craft out there, so
fast that FS warns you that the shuttle's capabilities for speed and hight isn't ment for FS, and you should proceed with causion. Luckily I
have a very fast computer, but if you don't, DO NOT get this! As I flew it felt just as fast if I had set the simulation to X32, I can't even
imagine what would happen if it was ACTUALLY on X32 with the Atlantis! .

Try Orbiter if you really want to fly in space!

WOW looks really cool, I'm downloading it now.

(Ps Dan, are you a part of this? You are really good at this stuff, have you ever tried to send it to a company and have it published?
(FSP and your own work?)

Yeah, Dan created all that stuff. Where did you download this space shuttle? Are you able to actually leave Earth's atmosphere (go into
space)? I think it'd be neat to try something like that.

[Jetsgo]

Well not exactly, you can for sure see the curvature of the earth, and it's kind of cool to have the ability to go that high, that fast. You
can't go to say... mars LOL. I forget where I downloaded it try SurClaro, if not, google it.

Be aware that most that come up will be for FS2002/2000 only so look hard.

Dan didn't create Orbiter.
It's a creation of Dr Martin Schweiger, a professor in the University College London. He wrote Orbiter "for fun".
Check at Orbitersim.com


But Dan created the two best addons for Orbiter: The Orbitersound and the DG-III.
