The mention of NASSP caught me off guard - I am the project maintainer. I didn't know you were even aware of us. If you have issues setting up Orbiter or NASSP, I'd love to hear what they are. Better documentation is one of our V8 release goals and the feedback would be a great help. Lots of work has gone into making the checklist system more capable and easier to follow. A lot of work has also gone into the Mission Control system as well, so you can be more of an astronaut and less of a flight controller.
To be honest, I see your game has a lot of potential as a realistic and accurate space simulator. Looking forward to buy it soon. Keep up the good work!
@@kargaroc386 Not really, but we have parts of it. Since it was never flown, there's not really much to simulate there. We did write code to simulate the "programer" (yes, spelled that way) that did the flying though. It might get revisted after the manned Apollo stuff is done if there's enough interest in it, but I think we want to do Skylab and ASTP first.

Visually appealing for sure. Looking forward to it simulating physics, electrical, fluids, life support, etc. If custom missions can be made then it'll be a hit for sure. Additional plus' would be removing the 'rails' for custom missions, and eventually adding 'modern historical space' STS, and/or Soyuz. No small under taking for sure, but we can always hope.

I think this game will take a little bit to add the Soyuz/ space shuttle. As of right now it’s in early access but the devs are continuing to roll out update pretty frequently so we shall see.
very cool.. I wish I was still sharp enough to play games like this.. I saw every space shot (on tv) from mercury to about the 10th space shuttle flight (even the moon landing while in vietnam) carry on Scott!
Even for us young'ns a large amount of failures can be entertaining sir. If you think you can you should try to play this if you wanted to, or get the setup to then get the game. The last thing I'd want to see is regret that was easy[to some degree] remedy. That holds true for me whether your young or old.
get one of your grandkids to show you a space launch with a VR headset. if you dont know what that is, i promise, they will, and i promise youll love it! so funny how new technology brings us so much closer to the past.
A VR update should be free, but since it will be some time before that update will come things may change. The only thing that I would expect to be of extra cost would be add on content such as new spacecraft
Surprise to you playing this, Petri has worked and is working quite hard on it, TLI is in the works and if all goes well will be out by the time of the Apollo 8 50-year anniversary
Now we just need to combine the internal views of this sim with everything else contained in Orbiter 2016, tweak the visuals even more, and we have the perfect space sim.
Such a great game! I really hope that they get the funding they need to take this simulator where it can go. Id love to see them really beef up the realism. This is a wonderful part of American History
Was waiting for your video on this sim. I like it, it has serious potential. Hopefully the dev will continue, and we don't end up with a 16 dollar maybe. If a company made a spaceflight sim like this with full sim physics and functional systems I would pay up to 100 dollars for a copy. Just saying.
Thanks! Working hard on fixing minor and major bugs, as well as the required logic to reach and orbit the Moon. Once I have this, I will start on the Lunar Module and the Moon landing. I have been working on this for the past 4 years, and I will continue to strive to make a great space flight simulator. Many of the systems are already physics based, and it's using realistic orbital mechanics to calculate the trajectories. The Early Access is all about solving the required needs of the engine to be able to technically land on the Moon. Once I have the logical requirements of the engine and the general flow of the missions are working, I will continue to improve the simulator by using physics to model the internal flow.
@@DCSdigitalerr0r if you're the dev, i'd like to say thank you, the attention to detail is incredible. The Apollo control panels are just crazy, keep up the great work!
You really should do an Apollo Mission to the moon then land the LEM with Mission Control (multiplayer) from Cold and Dark. Talk about holy cow, now I know the devs been working on Co-Op cockpit. It does support multiplayer with MC. MC can even send programs into the AGC if you unlock the computer to accept transmission data. But something about trouble shooting an error code. Working with MC and just the experience is just amazing. It’s a TON to learn. Can definitely be a bit much for some. It’s come far since EA. Seriously it’s not easy. Even just setting up a Lunar ejection and changing orbits. It’s come far. Definitely looking forward to what’s to come.
Haha I had a dream last night that I was launched in a rocket and was placed in low earth orbit. My mission was to collect samples of rocks that were orbiting Earth which I did successfully. Seemed very real down to the G forces i experienced on the way to outer space. Pretty cool!!
The Jason Knight Fiasco Band I just had a very similar dream. I went on a CST-100 spacecraft into LEO for three days and somehow collected rock samples and then returned to earth. Felt so real that when I woke up, I was really disappointed
Hello Mr Scott, nice to see a video about Reentry. Also nice to mention about Orbiter and NASSP. Have you tried SSU ? It's an hardcore mod like NASSP for the Space Shuttle with an interactive 3D cockpit, a functionnal GPC (not all programs are simulated yet). Going into orbit with it, dock to the ISS, put the HST, LDEF, etc in orbit, get back to Earth and land made me realize how deep and complex this machine really was. The hard part is to find the documentation for it but there are a few tutorials on the forum and UA-cam. Cheers !
This is cool. I might ask for this for a Christmas present. One thing I'll note: the exhaust from the first stage looks completely unlike an actual Titan II. I believe the flames were mostly transparent, not bright orange with sooty after-exhaust.
I wonder if it'd be better if instead of having what amounts to a floaty camera inhabiting the pod, you had the crew in there and you could toggle between them?
Excellent feedback. I'm in the works of modeling the characters and having the option to make your own astronaut. These will be inside the cockpit, and you would be able to look around. But with no hands, it is important to be able to move the camera into positions where you can press on the buttons you would normally, in real life, only "feel" after, or press where you know the switch would be. In VR, this could work with the hand controllers.
Why is this even remotely relevant? One is the given name and chosen pronunciation for a thing, the other one is a generic noun and its respective dialectal variations. What if the spelling of "oo0Spyder0oo" resulted in sounds similar to [pointless asshole] in my own native language, would I now actually say it like so? Same thing.
ugh... and i JUST got KSP, now im gonna have to get this and play it too? come on man, im not gonna have any money left if i keep watching your channel. lol
Gemini 3 had batteries, not fuel cells though. Gemini 5 was the first Gemini flight to feature the newly developed fuel-cells. Also, the way Nasa pronounced it is the way it is pronounced in Latin, since it´s a Latin word.
This is correct. I decided to make a generic implementation as I won't have time to model all the differences. I still want to offer the missions though, so the generic spacecraft was designed to support most of the Gemini systems, while allowing to fly all of the missions (once they are made).
I remember Challenger on the Commodore 64 back in the 1980s. It had lots of switches and I thought it was very good in it's day. I used to pay £50 for a cassette for the Commodore 64....software and hardware were expensive in those days. Today, I would probably expect a simulator to be able to try out orbital manoeuvres and set up a plan for reentry...yes, I have done some reading on orbital mechanics. Although I use Steam and Origin, I think more games should be available on Linux and Mac and be able to be played offline.
The names on the Mercury spacecraft need to be centered below the window and of a contrasting color to the black exterior. The lettering was white with a contrasting color logo.
I'm a real sucker for the Gemini program. I can see it's a sim, but will they try to have any hypothetical missions with these same craft? For example using Gemini for a moon fly by or the Apollo Venus flyby?
@@dknapp64 Thanks! There are many things I will need to work on to reach my goals of this simulator, and correcting the things you, and others mention, will slowly take me there. So your feedback is highly welcome, and added to my todo list, like I have done with everything else mentioned here :)
Question about the Apollo: Why did NASA choose the complex engineering task of designing the huge Saturn V rocket to launch all lunar vehicles in one single blow? Why didn’t they go for two smaller rockets and then round de vous joining lunar lander and the comand module? We all know that smaller rockets where very well proven by this time? The Mercury rund de vous program was very well tested?
Short answer is that they started development on Saturn V before orbital rendezvous was even a thing. As mentioned by Scott in the video, the first attempt at rendezvous was with Gemini 4 in 1965, not in the Mercury program. And Gemini 4 failed because they still didn't completely understand the orbital mechanics involved at the time. The first successful docking was in 1966, only 3 years before Apollo 11. In contrast, Saturn V has been under development since 1962, and was a lot more mature than the docking technologies & techniques required for in-orbit assembly/refueling on multiple launches. The everything-in-one-go approach was the only realistic option they had to make the deadline , as it was simpler, cheaper, and more technologically mature at the time.
@@debaronAZK It is actually a composite word of a truncated phrase; rendez vous translates roughly to "make yourselves", with the assiociation of a summons (show up). It is often written with a hyphen.
The spacecraft in ReEntry were developed with the idea of simplicity and generalization instead of modeling each individual capsule model. This allows for all players to be at the same level in terms of knowledge and familiarity with the spacecraft, and makes it easier on everyone in the community to help one another. Gemini in particular was developed and modeled based off the Capsule 8+ configuration and Gemini Familiarization Manual SEDR 200, volume 2.
I have a friend who thinks it's impossible that any astronaut to pass through the Van Allen Belts. Although I can't convince him otherwise, it got me thinking... I saw somewhere (probably Vintage Space) that the danger in the belts isn't so much electro-magetic radiation, but ions. I have questions about how the belts trap those particles, and on the electromagnetic scale, what are the belts made of? X-rays? Gamma rays? What is really going on out there? Also, astronauts talked about seeing weird stuff in space. Did that coincide with them passing through the belts?
Gamma and X-Rays are not affected by magnetic fields, they just carry on, because they're photons. The magnetic field can only capture charged particles and ionized atoms, which have an electric charge, and are therefore able to be affected by the magnetic field. Charged particle radiation is significantly more destructive than photon radiation, but also much easier to shield against.
Ask them why they think this? Because Van Allen’s original study doesn’t conclude the belts radiation levels are instantly fatal. Sure if you spent 3 months orbiting in the heart of the belt then you’re in trouble, but a few hours is fine. My point is your friend has picked up this idea from someone who doesn’t have a clue and has never actually done the math.
The apollo crews were quoted of seeing the particles flash in they're vision even even they closed they're eyes. Made sleeping hard to do during the middle of the trips.
Not directly. I have not used the real source for the AGC, or the Math Flow 3 source for the OBC. I have based the logic on these though, and the AGC programs are using a lot of the same memory locations, logic, programs, verbs and nouns. The goal is that you should be able to use the real manual for the AGC to operate it. The OBC manual has also been used to make the implementation I have of it. But no, I haven't written an emulator that compiles and run the real source code. The goal of this simulator is not to have everything exactly the same as it was in real life internally, but to have almost the same sequence and flow as the real astronauts had to perform.
This has had 5 years of development time since this video. How much has it improved and think it's worth checking out if you're looking for a bit more realism than what KSP offers?
I know this is a year old but I would absolutely pay for that, or any sort of daily space station life task simulator! And that's without even taking the possibility of VR into account (I don't have VR but I love surgeon simulator, right down to the fun controls, and want to get a vive eventually).
They do realise that the Titan II's first-stage exhaust plumes are actually a near-transparent watery blue, rather than the fiery yellowish-orange they rendered them as, right?
How did you not show us a reentry? the game's name is reentry. kinda hoping it'd be a simulator to test reentry vessels (something i actually wanna do in the future, but feel free to take the idea ;) )
Oh I see you have found it lol sorry my mistake haha.. When I just saw your go for lunch mercury 😂.. Anyway Loved this but because it is so limited with certain vessels I just sticked to ksp
It is if some of the devs are contacting you saying they're surprised you know about the game, and offering assistance and asking for input within an hour of posting your video about it.
developing that stuff and learning to work with it was as much part of the purpose of Gemini as rendevouz, docking and spacewalks. I guess they went step by step with both
Well there is a problem I had with mercury atlas basically during ascent a Logic error happens in the flight computer where it over pitches and falls to the earth and explodes that’s why been mostly sticking with mercury Redstone because he has not had anything resembling to mercury atlas
Hard to say without trying it myself, but it looks a bit awkward to hit every switch with the mouse. But if this could be implemented with VR and hand-tracking... that would be really interesting.

But no, I haven't written an emulator that compiles and run the real source code. The goal of this simulator is not to have everything exactly the same as it was in real life internally, but to have almost the same sequence and flow as the real astronauts had to perform.
Amazing program-SIM.
This has had 5 years of development time since this video. How much has it improved and think it's worth checking out if you're looking for a bit more realism than what KSP offers?
Someone should make "Astronaut Toilet Simulator" in the style of Surgeon Simulator.
I know this is a year old but I would absolutely pay for that, or any sort of daily space station life task simulator! And that's without even taking the possibility of VR into account (I don't have VR but I love surgeon simulator, right down to the fun controls, and want to get a vive eventually).
looks good but i think i will wait and see what it will become before getting it
Thank you! I hope to make a good space flight simulator for all of us. :)
They do realise that the Titan II's first-stage exhaust plumes are actually a near-transparent watery blue, rather than the fiery yellowish-orange they rendered them as, right?
Scott Manley, I love your content. Please tell me the name of your outro song, I would like to boogie to it at my leisure.
If I saw 'DCS Update' in my spacecraft I would start panicking and wonder what was broken this time.
The game is still in Early Access in Fed 2021 but the last update to it was in Nov 2020..
Good to know
3 years later it is still receiving updates.
Now, that's what I'm talking about.
How did you not show us a reentry?
the game's name is reentry.
kinda hoping it'd be a simulator to test reentry vessels (something i actually wanna do in the future, but feel free to take the idea ;) )
Why they don't slow the capsule down before entering to atmosphere?
The Apollo Capsule looks do cramped. How do astronauts stay there for days comfortably?
Circuit breakers, not fuses.
You can accelerate time with the number keys 1-6, Scott.
I know.
@@scottmanley you said you couldn't time accel during the video... so... uh... I figured you did not, in fact, know.
I said that because time accel is locked out in some parts of launch.
You should play this again. It is much better now.
Id say wait until TSS for apollo is out but yes
So can you actually mess up the ascent and orbit? Or is this just a coke-bottle on rails?
You can mess things up if you want
You should have done launch from the cockpit view.
Capsule I is a name you can change in your "profile"
Oh I see you have found it lol sorry my mistake haha.. When I just saw your go for lunch mercury 😂.. Anyway
Loved this but because it is so limited with certain vessels I just sticked to ksp
3:18 *MULTIPLAYER*
This would be two times cooler with coop
My goal is to have both coop, as well as a player driven Mission Control.
Do u think the devs will add multiplayer it would make it so much better
I wish this and KSP had a baby.
$20 is never cheap for early access.
It is if some of the devs are contacting you saying they're surprised you know about the game, and offering assistance and asking for input within an hour of posting your video about it.
@@heatshield
Read the thread - she's a Project Manager for Orbiter, not Reentry.
@@HuntingTarg I read it.
Are there any simulations of the apollo that had problems with life support? i cant remember the number atm.
"37" "11"
sure the first manned gemini mission had fuel cells already? Or a computer?
Nope.
developing that stuff and learning to work with it was as much part of the purpose of Gemini as rendevouz, docking and spacewalks. I guess they went step by step with both
Please make more vid on this game
Well there is a problem I had with mercury atlas basically during ascent a Logic error happens in the flight computer where it over pitches and falls to the earth and explodes that’s why been mostly sticking with mercury Redstone because he has not had anything resembling to mercury atlas
Imagine this in VR
Looks good to me :)
Apart from the tearing. But yeah, as if NVidia will give us back forced *sync... at least sometimes it's not the dev's fault.
Thumb nail on point
7:00 How many twinkies did you eat?
Surely the most important one is... SCE to Aux...
Hard to say without trying it myself, but it looks a bit awkward to hit every switch with the mouse. But if this could be implemented with VR and hand-tracking... that would be really interesting.
The reason the gemini exploded was because there was a repress valve i saw before launch
