Space Simulator is an ultra realistic 3D space flight simulation game running real physics in a full-scale Solar System with unrivaled rendering and graphics. PLAY historic NASA missions of the Apollo Moon Program, Space Shuttle flights, Project Gemini, X-15 Hypersonic Plane and free flight missions to explore all planets and major moons of the Solar System. LAUNCH from Kennedy Space Center, orbit the Earth and Moon, dock with ISS, perform Trans Lunar Injections, land on the Moon, practise rendezvous and return home with reentry and splashdown. PLAN complex interplanetary orbits, operate flight computers, use onboard switches, instruments and displays, experience the full challenges of space flight and unleash the astronaut within! key features: . Custom missions to explore all planets and major moons in Solar System . Spaceships have 3D cockpits with functional controls and instruments . Original audio footage on selected missions . Interactive orbit planner to easily visualize, create and modify complex interplanetary orbits . Space Simulator uses real gravitational forces, distances and velocities based on a physics engine especially created for this app running on the GPU . Ultra realistic rendering engine for the Earth and Moon with high resolution surfaces and atmosphere using a new metal-based graphics engine for unprecedented realism at maximum possible framerate . The Apollo computers are emulated running actual code from the 1960s . Configurable window-based UI allowing customization of the interface to suit your preferences . Configuration options to customize difficulty and gameplay according to your device capabilities
