FS2004 Aircraft: Nicks Space Shuttle Landing Challenge
Featuring the Space Shuttle Discovery and celebrating NASA's return to space!
The space shuttle is returning from orbit and has just completed its transition through
100,000 feet. You are between 80-110 nautical miles from touchdown. Your speed is
Mach 3.5 and decelerating quickly as you pass 83,000 feet. Ground control has reported
the TAEM guidance auto-landing navigation system and its backup systems have crashed.
A critical failure has occurred and there is no time to repair and reboot the ground system
before the shuttle will reach the runway glide scope acquisition point. You will have to
manually navigate, locate the airfield, pilot and land the space shuttle. Can you do it??
This package includes the Space Shuttle Discovery redesigned using actual NASA-Boeing
mechanical/aeronautical engineering data, panel, sounds and landing FX. The original .mdl
file is by Matthew Moxon and a modified for FS9 panel byTom Kellner. Model repaint,
flight dynamics, air file, sound.cfg, adventure flights and shuttle landing FX by Nick Needham
