I made the front page of SimHQ, hi mom!
Wow. First I've heard of this.
So how do you actually fly the shuttle? Joystick? Looks like a button pushers dream, is the cockpit clickable?
If you've got one, if not keyboard. I (apparently like many) prefer using the keyboard for RMS manipulation/RCS translation and the joystick for RCS rotation and landing. Keep in mind all of ascent and reentry up to ~80,000 feet are flown by the flight computers. While there is a 3D cockpit that is track IR (and 3d goggles compatible), you can only push buttons in the 2D cockpit. But pretty much every switch is clickable, and the systems simulation in SSM07 is right up there with PMDG FS addons.
Love to see a reentry and landing!
Soon enough

. I'll try and finish up the Hubble deployment tonight when I get back from work. Then next up will be de-orb and reentry.
