Hi guys,

Regarding Space Shuttle Orbiter - we have developed SpacePort, an add-on for FSX/P3D that allows a true, high-fidelity and precise rocketry/ballistic/orbital operations, from multi-stage launches, to assembly in orbit, EVA, and re-entry/splashdown. There is no "workaround" involved - we expanded FXS/P3D functionality to allow access to 30,000 km above Earth surface under exact and precise laws of physics and astrodynamics.

We don't have the final version yet, but we have a free, downloadable demo which you can try out. Our baseline launcher is NASA's Artemis SLS, which is based on STS and shares many components. We are probably not looking to develop such a complex system as STS in the near future (we are focusing on current and soon to be operational launchers) but given that you have a very nice Shuttle model including the instrumentation and virtual cockpit, we thought it may be a fun project to extend it for SpacePort.

Anyway - fell free to visit our YouTube Channel (search for TerraBuilder SpacePort) for some videos of SpacePort capability, and check out our newest Promo Video, and let us know what you think.
