Brining Comic Book Guy level of pedanticism, the thing that stood out the most for me was that the space shuttle in the sim had a glass cockpit with full colour displays.
The shuttle cockpit upgrades didn’t take place until late-1990s/early-2000s, and before then, it was just green text on CRTs.
Regardless, it’s amazing to see what people can achieve with enough interest and time.
- emondi 6y agoThis FlightGear's shuttle is the most accurate version. I think the choice of shuttle mission was because of the unusual transpolar trajectory.
- xattt 6y agoThe STS 62A polar orbit mission was scheduled to take place in 1986, so the model used in the sim doesn’t correlate to what the shuttle capabilities were at the time.
