This livery package for the "Space Shuttle" by Captain Sim is a special one. Instead of adding new paint options, it brings some never existing functionality to this aircraft.

• Space Shuttle product should be purchased and installed separately - from the FlightSim marketplace, official developer’s web store, or any other source
• FlightSim needs to be restarted once after add-on installation, Xbox users also have to remove MSFS from Quick Resume list

Three exciting flight modes available:

1. Space Shuttle Delivery by Carrier Aircraft Select any airport or runway as your departure and arrival points. You'll begin your journey in the Space Shuttle attached to the Boeing 747-100 carrier aircraft on the runway. Take control of the carrier aircraft to perform the take-off, navigation, and landing phases. Utilize the shuttle cockpit instruments normally, noting that the autopilot is disabled in this mode. Control carrier engine thrust using the flaps handle, where each position corresponds to cruise flight, take-off, and landing thrust modes.

2. Space Shuttle Approach and Landing Training Select both departure and arrival airports or runways. You will start the flight attached to the carrier aircraft similarly to the previous mode. On final approach, ensure you reach an altitude of at least 10,000 feet above ground level. Nearing the runway, initiate shuttle separation using one of these methods:

• Dedicated hotkey to toggle navigation lights (default ALT + N or L)
• Drogue chute arm switch in the cockpit (left side of the front dashboard) After separation, follow the co-pilot's instructions for a precise landing.

3. Final Stage of Space Shuttle Atmospheric Re-entry, Approach, and Landing Select only the arrival airport or runway; do not specify a departure point. The script calculates the descent trajectory, starting your flight automatically at the maximum altitude allowed in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (275,000 feet). Enjoy the fully automatic initial descent phase, configure avionics, and experience impressive visual effects. Manual control is returned at the destination, where you'll follow co-pilot instructions for a successful landing.
