@kermitt1 This game is equally frustrating to learn as it is fun to play. I have been for a couple months learning how to launch and do the basics. The only thing I have accomplished is obtaining orbit "free hand" since I learned how to without understanding my instrumentation. Now im slowly learning everything I would like to eventually get to where I can complete a full apollo mission.

@MegaMike0304 He's using Columbia, which didnt have a parachute

Where is the brake parachute???
I do have to say that since I have actually watched a shuttle land at KSC, this landing is from the wrong direction. It's supposed to land from a north to south approach to the runway, not from south to north as seen in the video. I'm not sure if they switch directions sometimes, but the one I saw landed from the north. Cool video though

@V10Gator
direction of landing depends of the wind
mainly is from north to south (using runway 15) but it happens also on runway 33 when winds are not favorable

@kermitt1 But you're in the era of the ISS, in which the shuttle does have parachute...

@codywaynejones
mmmzz..that's true lol
well..to give some explanations: this video was not made in one take...i did it in various segments
the undocking was with Shuttle Fleet V3
the reentry and landing was done with STS-Payloads
Chute comes out automaticaly normaly with shuttle fleet but i think i choosed an early mission
but hey...that's not the most important i think....

for the landing you use the tutorial replay but good video
when i want to do a re-entry my shuttle go take altitude why ?

@XxSnitzelQc
you're wrong
i used a replay of my own recorded landing (you can record your own stuff in orbiter and replay it)
the tutorial landing is far more precise then mine
