To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I found this in my searching the WWW for space games for people to checkout. I have yet to try this one. But at first glance it is a real space sim based off of existing space craft and you can do past missions into space or futuristic missions. It is still in development and has some way to go but provide some feedback here and on the authors page to make sure they don't stop working on it because of the lack of interest. Have fun with it and let us know how you like it.
You can get all the files you need to play the game here:

Features:
Historical Missions - Command a Gemini, Apollo, or Space Shuttle mission. Fly it "by the book", or do things your way! You have complete freedom in EXOFLIGHT.
Futuristic Missions - Fly a manned Mars mission, test drive a fusion-powered spacecraft, or go chasing comets. Pilot vehicles that haven't yet left the drawing board!
3D Graphics - Enjoy breathtaking 3D views of the solar system and of your spacecraft. Planets and moons are accurately modeled, including terrain and atmosphere.
Realistic Orbital Mechanics - Watch your spacecraft sling around the Earth, Moon, and planets according to Newton's gravitational theory.
Programmable Spacecraft - The spacecraft in EXOFLIGHT can be programmed to perform sophisticated maneuvers via the sequencer. The default vehicles come with programs for launch, reentry, interception, and other maneuvers.
Modular Spacecraft - Design your own rockets, space vehicles, and space stations by connecting different modules. Each module is outfitted with unique capabilities -- propulsion, fuel cells, solar panels, life support systems, etc. You don't need a billion-dollar budget here!
Open architecture - EXOFLIGHT is designed with expandibility in mind. All aspects of the sim are customizable via simple text files. Add new spacecraft, modules, instrument panels, sequencer programs, missions and more!
