Title: the five last steps..
Post by Flying_Pie1104 on Nov 27^th, 2006 at 7:58pm

Ok, I've been wondering what five reentry steps are included (I'm sure they've been mentioned before, but I've not seen them). Also, if deorbit is included, I'm assuming you can orbit in FSX (something I've been wondering for awhile, lol)?

thanks :)

all starts within 60min's off touch down for the desent process-
1-Deorbit burn - turn the shuttle around to slow to a nice 16,465 mph
2-REentry - 25 min to touchdown-Blackout for 12 min's
3-Terminal area energy management- use off aircraft /so not to under/over shoot
4-Autoland-desend 22deg Glideslope, sorta a super ILS approach
5-Landing 14sec's to touchdown 268mph(430km) at 1.5 Glideslope
