Space Simulator is a realistic space flight simulator game featuring hi-res planet textures, IBL shaders and a full-scale Solar System running on a state-of-the-art double-float precision physics library. The physics solver computes and predicts real n-body trajectories that vary in real time withou relying on patched conics or other simplifications. For the very first time, players are able to design and fine-tune complicated orbital maneuvers. Space Simulator contains both historical Apollo Program and Space Shuttle missions as well as custom free roam scenarios. Thanks to the dynamic loading textures and multi-threaded physics making use of the GPU cores, the game runs at 60 fps on most PCs, with modest RAM requirements. 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.

A comprehensive realistic space flight simulator coming to PC/MAC via Steam.

Posted by on

We are delighted to announce that Space Simulator is on Steam for Greenlight. We have been working hard over the past three years to bring you a good ol' classic general purpose space flight simulator for desktop and mobiles. We have been improving the game upon the feedback of our mobile users and we are now ready to up the game to the next level.

Space Simulator is more a simulator for those with serious interest in astrophysics and orbital mechanics than a game in the traditional arcade style. Inspired by Microsoft Space Simulator and made with contemporary technology, the game runs on real physics, distances and time with realistic functional 3D cockpits emulated down to the software level. Included is a powerful numerically computed real time n-body solver orbit predictor to plan and implement highly complex orbits in a visually intuitive way.

The game features both historical Apollo program and Space Shuttle missions as well as custom free roam scenarios.

Apollo program fans - this is the game for you! Choose any mission from the full Apollo program from launch, through landing to reentry and splash down. Most relevant buttons and switches of the Apollo spacecraft cockpits are functional with the Apollo Guidance Computer and DSKY running actual code from the 60’s. The autopilot mode and in-game tutorials will guide you through the entire moonshot or take control of the spacecraft for full manual control.

Space Simulator Steam Apollo sunrise

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 or dock with the ISS; perfect your Space Shuttle landings or go to the edge of space and back with the hypersonic X­15 Aircraft. The possibilities are endless and as unbounded as your wildest astronautic dreams.

We hope to bring you many more missions in future updates - Mercury and Gemini, Vostok and the Soviet space program, SpaceX missions, and much more. We are listening to your feedback so don't hesitate to let us know what content you'd like to see. Help us through Greenlight for immediate Early Access release:
