== Development status/Issues/Todo ==
'''Outside:'''
'''Outside:'''
* The 3D model is under development and in pre-alpha state.<br />See http://gitorious.org/space-shuttle
* The 3D model is finished: Gears, Ailerion, Ruder with Speedbrake, Doors, Robotarm, Parachutes(!)


'''Cockpit:'''
'''Cockpit:'''
* 3d cockpit is not available
* 3d cockpit is not available, it is in development now


'''General:'''
'''General:'''
* No HUD available
* HUD available with a lot of information for a orbit flight and returning to any base airport
* Because the shuttle is a glider without engines after re-entry, the initial starting position should be somewhere at an altitude of over 80000 feet
* Because the shuttle starting facility is not present now, we have to start up like a airplane and going to a pitch hold of 23 degree
* In Orbit control with Orbit Control Engines for 10 directions
* Orbit manouver with Orbit Manouver engines, pitchably for changing the orbit, turning nose to opposite direction for brake manouver
* Ruder Control Engine for holding and changing heading in Orbit
* Pilot and Main Parachute with original functionality
* Launcher facility is now there, DEMO-Version (not working)


'''New Version:'''
'''New Version:''' latest update:16march2015 (Launcher Demo)


The new version of the Space Shuttle has now 3 main engines, 2 booster rockets, 5 orbit control engines (with reversers, makes control of 10 directions), 2 orbit manouver engines (pitchably for real manouver in orbit), braking parachute, smoke for all engines, robotarm, doors, launching satelit and a man in the dock. All animations are in MP-modus, full orbit manouver system to hold a stable orbit at 150.000-300.000 ft, mach 30, HUD with extra information, 2 versions for MP-modus (Columbia and Atlantis), light system, help menue, all sounds, new JSBSim FDM. Development by HerbyW.
