mastered all the flight simulators ? Iceberg Interactive are bringing a whole new class to the genre with Space Shuttle Mission Simulator. To coincide with the 29th Anniversary of the Space Shuttle launch on April 12, 1981, Iceberg Interactive will be distributing the award-winning Space Shuttle Mission Simulator in Europe and North America, respectively. Exciting Simulations will be continuing the distribution of the downloadable version in English. The special edition boxed versions will include all the missions and features that have been developed for the Space Shuttle Mission Simulator, and will bear the name “Space Shuttle Mission Simulator: The Collector’s Edition” or “SSMS: TCE”.
The English boxed versions of SSMS: TCE are slated for release in June 2010, followed by the localized French and German versions at a slightly later date.
About Space Shuttle Mission Simulator: The Collector’s Edition:
FEATURES:
• Experience the Liftoff shakes and engines roar right from the Commander’s or Pilot’s seats.
• Perform mission procedures: press buttons, rotate knobs, control the General Purpose Computer and manually guide the Shuttle to a safe landing etc.
• Perform variable-difficulty historical missions from STS-1 (the maiden flight), through secret DoD missions, and up to the recent ISS missions.
INCLUDES:
• Beautifully rendered Space Shuttle 3D virtual cockpit, Shuttle, International Space Station, Hubble, satellites
• TrueEarth™ Global Satellite Imagery – licensed from TerraMetrics Inc. These are the same textures used by Google Earth.
• First Person View, including Space Walks – you cannot get any closer to the ISS or Hubble than that!
• Launch Control, Mission Control, Shuttle and Astronauts audio smart communications.
• Three difficulty modes: from Novice which leads the “astronaut” through the tasks with context arrows and full text subtitles, to “Read the Manual and Checklists Commander!”
• TrackIR(tm) Support in 3D Virtual Cockpit and first person view during EVA
• Multiple-Monitor support for Matrox TripleHead2Go(tm) and Nvidia nView ™
• Native support for Vuzix iWear VR920 Stereoscopic goggles + head tracking. This is the closest you can get to the NASA VR Labs where Shuttle Astronauts train for ISS missions (on compatible systems).
• Space Shuttle Mission Simulator is an unforgettable experience. If you’ve ever wondered, how it feels to be in command of the Space Shuttle, to do “space walks” and float around the ISS, enjoy the view of our beautiful planet at dawn and sunset from space, this it!
