Space Simulator Windows, Mac, Linux game

Space Simulator is a realistic space flight simulator game featuring high-quality models, hi-res textures, IBL shaders, an entire full-scale Solar System with the help of a custom made state-of-the-art (double-float precision) physics library allowing us to create a better, faster realistic space flight simulation.

Thanks to the dynamic loading of textures, multi-threaded physics making use of the GPU cores, the game runs at 60 fps on most PCs, with really modest RAM requirements.

We are also implementing VR support for a fully immersive flight experience as well as support for all major joysticks and flight controllers.

We are confident that we can release the game for an introductory price of $4.99.

Space Simulator contains both historical Apollo Program and Space Shuttle missions as well as custom free roam scenarios.

• Apollo Missions

Space Simulator features the complete Apollo 11 program missions. Players can choose to play particular missions or the entire Apollo 11 program from beginning to end: launch the Saturn V from Cape Kennedy; perform Trans-Lunar Injection, transposition rotation and docking; land on the Moon; power through the lunar ascent and rendezvous; and finally return back to Earth with reentry and splashdown.

• Space Shuttle Missions

Space Shuttle fans can also enjoy a wide selection of Space Shuttle missions: launch from Cape Kennedy; rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station; return to Earth with reentry and play the final landing in day and night scenarios.

• Custom Free Roam Missions

Space Simulator is a realistic simulator of the entire Solar System with all its planets and major moons. Players can also choose to play custom free roam scenarios with general purpose spaceships.

• Full sized Solar System

• n-body physics solver with numeric trajectory predictor allowing the user to perform complex orbital maneuvers, eg, orbital slingshots, etc.

GAMEPLAY

All spacecraft cockpits will come with interactive multi-functional MFDa that provide information on every aspect of your flight data. We have orbit, surface, transfer, docking, flight, HSI and other display panels.

For Apollo enthusiasts, we have fully emulated the Apollo Guidance Computer and DSKY running actual code from the 60’s. You can run and control the Apollo spacecrafts exactly as how the astronauts did during their flight.

Ultimately, our aim is to create a realistic space simulator that is comprehensive and easy to use and accessible to players at all levels with the most advanced graphics and rendering techniques. The game also features interactive in-game tutorials which guide you step-by-step through each mission right down to selecting the right buttons and switches in a 3D interactive virtual cockpit.

REALISM

The simulation uses a proprietary double precision physics library, running on GPU cores allowing the game to compute all the gravitational forces, including moons and distant celestial bodies, generate orbit instabilities, resonances, etc. with the utmost accuracy. The physics solver allows the game as well to compute and predict real n-body trajectories that vary in real time, no longer based on patched conics or other simplifications. This allows -for the first time- the player to design and fine-tune very complicated orbital maneuvers.

All planets in the game are modeled with hi-res NASA imagery. Selected planets such as the Earth, Moon and Mars have 3D surfaces modeled from NASA altitude data. We try to use original audio as much as possible for Apollo and Space Shuttle missions.

SUMMARY

Lift-off from Cape Kennedy; land on the Moon; enjoy the magnificent views of Earth from orbit; plan a trip to a faraway planet; practise your favorite orbital maneuvers ­doing gravitational slingshots, Hohmann transfer orbits; rendezvous and dock with the ISS; perfect your Space Shuttle landings or go to the edge of space and back with the hypersonic X-­15 space plane. The possibilities are endless and as unbounded as your wildest astronautic dreams!
