F-Sim | Space Shuttle 2

About this game

Here is the long-awaited successor to our critically acclaimed flight simulator. It simulates the Space Shuttle approach and landing in incredible detail and accuracy.

This is a remaster of our original F-Sim Space Shuttle, completely rewritten from scratch. New features include:
- Console quality graphics
- Interactive tutorials
- White Sands as a third landing site option
- Orbit mode

F-Sim Space Shuttle combines realistic flight simulation with stunning graphics and fun gameplay.

You’ve never landed a Space Shuttle before? We’ve got you covered: Included are several tutorials with varying degrees of autopilot assist. Our landing analysis and scoring system tells you exactly how to improve your next landing. It will make you come back and try again.

Each flight starts at either 10,000 feet, already aligned with the runway, or at up to 50,000 feet, before banking into the heading alignment cone. During descent, the Orbiter is an unpowered glider, so you will only have one chance to get it right. Astronauts used to call it a flying brick: Because of its 200,000 lbs. gross weight and low lift over drag ratio, the approach is six times steeper and two times faster than a typical airliner approach. After your first safe touchdown, chase that perfect landing, compare your high scores online with your friends, earn medals, and unlock achievements. Experiment with different wind conditions, night approaches, and even emergency scenarios or system failures. At the end of each flight, watch a replay from different camera angles.

You control the Orbiter’s pitch and roll axes by tilting your device. Alternatively, you may switch to on-screen analog sticks or use a gamepad. Rudder, speed brake, gear, and chute are usually handled by the autopilot, but you can have full manual control if you like. For beginners, we’ve added rectangles that visualize the desired approach path. Simply try to stay within the corridor of rectangles, and they’ll guide you right to the touchdown point. Advanced pilots can turn them off and rely on the instruments in the head-up display (HUD) instead. The simulated guidance, navigation and control (GNC) systems are authentic replications of their counterparts in the real Orbiter, and the HUD features all the instruments real Space Shuttle commanders used to employ to skillfully land this unique aircraft. Now it’s your turn to give it a try.

A new orbit mode lets you take the Orbiter for a spin around the planet, and we’re working on a full atmospheric re-entry scenario.

There are no ads or in app purchases, and we don’t collect any personal data.

Ratings and reviews

I've been flying the original version for years. I loved it. I just found out about this version, and decided to give it a try. Overall, it is a far leap backwards. Not being able to set the weather, arm the gear, parachute, etc. There's a LOT to be wanted with this game. I personally would have liked to see at MINIMUM a continuation of where the old game left off... But it seems we have stepped far back. 2 stars for now, in hopes you guys fix the above issues. Graphics are really nice though!

What a fantastic follow-up to an amazing game. They say sequels are rarely better than the usual, but I'd say this is one of the rare exceptions. While the original was and is a fantastic game (I went back to download it for old times sake and that's how I discovered this new release) - the realism, graphics and production quality of this game are unparalleled. And, one last thing that's rarely acknowledged - thank you for charging $4.99 rather than rely on In-App Purchases. Rare nowadays!

Purchased 08JAN2026 after upgrading to an S25 Ultra from an S21 Ultra, since the original version was not on the Play Store. The controls were more sensitive than the old version especially the roll on final approach close to the runaway. I changesd some settings including less pitch and roll sensitivity and changed the mode to accelerometer which greatly improved control. Definitely recommend this v2.
