I Flew The BRANDNEW Fully Modelled Space Shuttle in MSFS (I Crashed)

[@JunoCinematics]

Trust me, you don’t want a fully interactible space shuttle

[@interestinggameraltlol9245]

Real

[@lilkris3008]

Fr as a kerbal fan who got humbled by orbiter… when he said he should have watched a tutorial my first thought was “that will just make you more confused”

[@mubarakaloqeaf]

If he can butter a plane, he can butter a space shuttle

[@JustIsaac134]

Yeah it’s the most difficult plane to fly and start up and makes the 747 classic and Concorde look like an Airbus

[@interestinggameraltlol9245]

@ meh with a checklist not the worst thing. It’s more about knowing the trajectory of the shuttle, its orbit and where it’s going that’s the real challenge, than the systems and its complexity.

[@timo4257]

The shuttles drag is just on a different level than normal airplanes. The final approach speed was ~300 knots with a gliedeslope of ~20°. The landing gear was deployed during the flare because it caused an insane amount of drag. Touchdown speed was about 200 knots, so they lost about 100 knots of speed in the flare. To a have a realistic approach training, they used a Gulfstream 2 with deployed thrust reverse and landing gear. I'd say that's quite an accurate simulation of the amount of drag it has.

[@av_space]

As someone who's loved NASA for many years, I can certainly say that's a fact.

[@TurbopropMaster]

​@av_spaceFR

[@SolarisAerospaceAdministration]

That Gulfstream 2 can also deflect the flaps upwards increasing drag and decreasing lift.

[@StormworksPlayer]

The reason you stall all the time is because of the immense drag from the landing gear. They should be deployed at 300 ± 100 feet and at a maximum of 312 knots equivalent airspeed.

[@soggypancake001]

yes

[@Anonymous-hv9yw]

Yeah the space shuttle is essentially a brick with stubby wings. It doesn't really glide (unless it's moving very fast)

[@CaptCap25]

Energy is everything. Once you lose it, you aren’t getting it back. Have to keep that gear tucked up until the very end.its like gliding a brick with tiny wings and the gear is like throwing out an anchor.

[@skylerstream9634]

i like the two displays on the flight engineer's panel

[@JacobBasheer]

I hate to say it, but a MSFS 2020 video is a breath of fresh air.

[@Kodogr]

What's wrong with msfs 2024 I think it's amazing for a early access type game? Edit: I enjoy it I haven't experienced any glitches or anything, I don't see the problem with msfs 2024.

[@clementbarrieu]

@Kodogr the thing is that it's not early access

[@alexandrfedorov4565]

Agreed, watching MSFS 2024 videos felt like having a fever dream.

[@boyifyouboomeimaboobooonyall]

@KodogrSame i havent had any problems either, maybe loading times are sometimes longer than usual but other than that its been running just as smooth as msfs2020

[@FA18ESuperHornet]

@Kodogrso many youtuber makes so many video about it that it became boring.

[@PilotLieutenant1]

finally a video where swiss001 actually likes a captainsim aircraft and approves it

[@Potatoincanada201]

Also, the reason why it’s such a bad glider is because it needs to be landed really fast which is why it has a parachute for landing. It needs to be aerodynamic so that it can get into space properly. And quick tip. Lower the landing gear at around 500 feet. You kind of deployed the gear around 2 minutes too early. You also need to be pointing your nose down at around 20° - 30° because you don’t want to stall out in a Space Shuttle. The pilots are well trained to experience high g loads with a maximum g load of around 8. Also, they increased MSFS’s maximum height, unless your using MSFS 2020, which doesn’t matter since you can import MSFS 2020 planes into 2024.

[@TheRealAviationgeek123]

Yes

[@Alipassi]

And just yesterday I was wondering how we should have a space shuttle for msfs2020 and then you come out with this video :D

[@Potatoincanada201]

Even though I do consider the space shuttle l’s model extremely good, it lacks in all the buttons but I don’t blame Captain Sim. Space Shuttles are extremely complex spacecraft and Captain Sim did a really good job in this aircraft. Also, space shuttles can’t really takeoff because of the lack of engine efficiency. They literally need solid boosters to takeoff which are way more powerful than the liquid engines they use and a large liquid fuel tank to store fuel to get to orbit. Increasing your Apoapsis is also extremely hard when your not upright, although the space shuttle does have a gyroscope and RCS so they can do orbital manoeuvres in space.

[@Dumbrarere]

Some notes based on immediate research (and knowledge from youtubers like Scott Manley and Everyday Astronaut) "OMS ENG" refers to the Shuttle's Orbital Maneuvering System thrusters, which were tied into its Reaction Control System as it used the same monomethylhydrazine (MMH)/nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) hypergolic fuel/oxidizer. These hypergolic thrusters were used following the jettison of the external tank that fueled the three SSMEs, and were critical in precise course correction, rendezvous (especially with Hubble and later the ISS), and other such orbital maneuvers. "BFC CRT" refers to the Back-up Flight Control systems display, and which set of Cathode Ray Tube (hence the CRT) multifunction display monitors the commander and pilot want to allocate to those systems. The displays are arranged in pairs (pair 1+2, pair 3+4, pair 5+6), and are selected with the right-hand toggle. "Air Data Probe Stow" refers to the actuators connected to the various air data probes (pitot tube, static pressure tube, etc) that stow and deploy them. They are stowed throughout most of the flight to protect them from damage resulting from small orbital debris (such as loose bolts from spent rocket stages or micrometeorites) and from heating damage as a result of reentry. I am not too knowledgeable in all of these systems in-depth, so it would be an excellent idea to contact a former NASA specialist who worked on the shuttle or a museum curator or tour guide at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum who might have that kind of info on hand.

[@izaiahschlosser4512]

My favorite fact about the space shuttle program was to simulate how much of a brick the space shuttle flew like they had a golfstream that they would leave the main gear down on and the reverse thrust on to do simulated landings in

[@CommandProMC]

Since FS2024 has no apparent altitude limit, this would work so much better in it.

[@LucasMartinez-p9u]

Swiss kinda looks like Freddie from Icarly

[@reisej2011]

Swiss I’d just like to say your videos always make my day

[@realLuisGiordano]

Microsoft+Asobo should really make a Space Flight Simulator with all current and historical spacecraft and missions, plus a Kerbal-like free flight mode

[@lvwpy]

I have to admit that at least the modelling and texturing is pretty good!

[@AviationLoverIndonesia]

4:21 Goggle lol 😂🗿 Also, great video as always, Swiss 😎👍

[@aaronbennett7032]

OMS engines are the smaller engines in the back of the shuttle that help it deorbit and also move around although the RCS thrusters which shoot compressed air out help it make finer moves.

[@lolvks]

12:50 at least that was an on speed touchdown (200KEAS)

[@Janelovesavation]

Dang I love all of your vids

[@SchwayXS]

10:05 one ironic thing is that the shuttle is named “Columbia”, which actually suffered the horrible fate.

[@LeLeafy]

Finally it’s a video that I can watch within 20 minutes after upload

[@Quibus7]

4:20 yes we love the 97% 😂

[@interestinggamer8060]

Not as good as the flight gear shuttle.

[@JunoCinematics]

Accurate, that one is insanely detailed and accurate.

[@interestinggamer8060]

@ I am able to simulate a full mission with the simulated Atlantis orbiter, very nicr

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Haven't messed with the MSFS one but the FGFS one is fun to play around with. I actually like the Vostok rocket more but the sim crashes when I use it sometimes

[@JoePez]

As some who was the lander for the space shuttle in the official NASA Student Astronaut Challenge (SAC) back in high school, I can say this is actually a pretty accurate representation of the shuttle. It’s just a massive glider with the aerodynamics of a brick, its stall speed is 220 knots so you need a steep AOA and flare hard at the last minute to land it. Butter landings are uncommon in this thing because it weighs almost as much as an A380. Over all decent realism, good job Captain Sim.

[@The_official_nameless]

My honest reaction 👁👄👁

[@kediiii31]

7:18 wait a minute what did you say?

[@filipesiegrist]

kudos to captain sim. They are earning back their reputation.

[@johnnydao8056]

Most Space Shuttles Use Rockets to lift of Verticaly and lands like an Airplane Sadly some Space Shuttle lift off only to never return like challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003

[@dasten_guz2102]

"This is going to be my first space shuttle butter" *Crashes on **8:46*

[@ScottOSaurus]

Really they had to make it Columbia.

[@Xonarous]

If captainsim are changing, hopefully their aircraft will become better. They should release updates

[@rudyrobertson1540]

Shuttle landing gear comes out under 500 feet. It’s just best to keep a brick as clean and smooth as possible until the landing is 100% guaranteed

[@OneAviation]

Nah… bro really be putting himself in the craziest situations.

[@TheRealAviationgeek123]

Hi

[@LocalViatorGS]

Yeah lol

[@ThreeSonsfun]

Space shuttle is suppose to pitch down a lot which is realativley scary looking

[@BaharGodbole]

Ur the one who made me get the hotas one

[@normangeilich]

Mitm Shuttle kommst du mit 300 Knoten und nem Gleitwinkel von 20° sehr schnell und steil rein. Versuch mal obs den Space Shuttle Mission Sim noch gibt.

[@RocketLife.]

I reccomend watching "How The Space Shuttle Worked | Full Documentary" from Real Engineering. Its veryyy good video

[@Low_Qualitizer]

I wonder why a literal flying brick has problems flying

[@jamesm568]

I didn't know the space shuttle actually flies as I thought it just falls.

[@Charli-yG9]

Gear is supposed to go down at 300 feet because it causes 𝓼𝓸 much drag

[@Smoozl]

No way we got captain sim comeback before gta 9 😭💀

[@treborlo]

They describe flying a space shuttle like flying a brick.

[@Pilot-2020]

Next up: the Saturn V

[@TroyRubert]

He can't keep getting away with it. 💀 😂

[@InfiniteFlightVideos]

The funny not funny thing about this is that this is the Columbia, one of the shuttles that had an untimely fate

[@OwenHuang-w1u]

Only sort of - it's more of a mismatch of them all with Columbia written on it.

[@Epic_chicken3353]

I ended watching this at 9;47 am Australian time

[@Londresslevenski104]

CAPTAIN SIM THE GOAT

[@LukianShevHahaYes]

13:44 GeoFS, Flightgear (maybe), infinite flight

[@Union0productions]

Judging by the thumbnail, this new plane would be potato quality

[@cristiandavid5822]

Does anyone else have problems with the thrust master Airbus Capt. pack. I mean my flaps and spoilers when I put them to like 1st position or 2nd they always go to the last one. It's really annoying since I can't really use them any more. if anyone has a fix please help me!

[@GuitarsNDrums-k4f]

Why is everyone saying “____ views in 20 mins bro fell off”

[@Wolfstone999]

Idk people do that on his vids

[@GuitarsNDrums-k4f]

@ yeah I honestly get annoyed of it but I feel bad for him

[@Sebsflightshorts]

I think the new sim has a higher ceiling so if they adapt it for msfs 2024 it might be better

[@Xerosharshar]

HE DROPPED GEAT AT 33000??

@Swiss001 Please make a video about X-Plane 12 fully functional and very very realistic Space Shuttle mod by Carl Kinder. It even has full takeoff.

[@Bloxy_Mablox]

They are very serious
