This is *the* space shuttle sim:

I haven't played it yet, but the pictures look great.

Forgotten that one, tnx for reminding....

The Virgin Games shuttle simulator does run under Windows, though you
may need to install the Dosbox emulator to make it work with modern
hardware. Orbiter has more realistic physics and graphics, but
'Shuttle' has more realistic procedures in space (e.g. simulating every
control panel, even if some switches do nothing).

Your right... it's beautiful. But how on earth do you get started? Reading
pdf manuals and trying to run a full screen simulation is hectic! Perhaps i
need to invest in a ream of paper and some new ink for the printer...
