About This File
FS2004 Nick's 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 FS2004 panel by Tom Kellner is included. Model repaint, flight dynamics, .air file, sound.cfg, adventure flights and shuttle landing FX by Nick Needham. Includes NASA's description of the entire landing process which you can now experience in Flight Simulator! This package includes an install for FS2002 as well. (See also NSCUP1.ZIP and NSCUP2.ZIP)
