The problems with the atmospheric flight model is now being slowly worked out but for now the subsonic flight performance is great! The orbiter handles like a dream! Very easy on the controls, if a bit slow during the final flare.

So it is now possible to practice final approaches very realistically if you have a joystick as that makes the handling much easier!

I have attached two screenshots from a playback of one of this morning's final approach sim runs to KSC15. They're taken from the KSC15 runway end camera.

I've been meaning to give SSU a shot for a while now, but have neglected to do so because of the commitment required. I guess now's as good time as ever, though. Just want to say great work on the project!
