FSX Flights For The Space Shuttle Atlantis. Two approaches to shuttle landing facilities in Edwards, California. There is one easy final approach with direct heading and ILS approach per autopilot. The second flight is a challenge: without autopilot and throttle to zero (gliding like the real shuttle is manually almost not possible) you have to do a turn to the left to begin the final approach. The space shuttle ATLANTIS-1.ZIP from Bruce Fitzgerald is required. Optional there is an external view with the Space Shuttle and braking chute for the panel folder. From Erwin Welker.
Flights For The Space Shuttle Atlantis, Edwards CA.
INSTALLATION:
1. Install the great animated shuttle from Bruce Fitzgerald with its Effects first (atlantis-1.zip).
2. Copy the folder with my flights (Flight Simulator X Files) to the place where you have all the others. It should be somewhere at the OWN Files.
3. Copy the aircraft.cfg and the airfile (Landing shuttle.air) into the FSX-shuttle. There are 2 different airfiles configured, one for launch and orbital missions, the second is for landing. Do the same with the Sound.Landing. I use the aliased sound from the glider airplane DG808S, because in the reality the Space shuttle is landing without rocketengines.
Optional:
5. Copy the Panelfiles into your panel and edit your panel, as discribed in the text.
INSTRUCTIONS and ORDERS:
For both flights: After loading the Flight (with complete shuttle on tank with boosters) release the boosters (Sh E2) and the tank (Shift E3).
More tips and instructions are in the text of the flights
