F-SIM Space Shuttle F-SIM Space Shuttle is a photo realistic simulation of the Space Shuttle on final approach and landing. The player can leverage the accelerometer tilt controls of the iPhone/iPad or analog virtual stick controls on screen. F-SIM Space Shuttle delivers a very realistic experience including visual HUD display and audio ground communication that adapts to the players flight during approach and landing.

The player has a choice of landing sites from John F. Kennedy Space Center or Edwards Air Force Base for either a final or full approach. A full approach includes HAC (Heading Alignment Circle) corkscrew-like flight path that puts the Shuttle in alignment with the runway final approach. Several parameters can be modified to increase difficulty such as day or night landings, random malfunctions or weather conditions. Navigation support includes PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicators) and audio prompt communications from ground tracking.

After landing a post statistical analysis of performance characteristics can be reviewed. The player also can replay the complete landing from multiple viewing points from cockpit to control tower. The game supports Game Center & OpenFeint for tracking high scores, leaderboards and achievements. [source:mobygames]
