NEW Falcon 9 cargo ship launch mission rationalize custom scenario menu and config menu options add mission restart option various UI fixes

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. • BONUS content - review the game to unlock challenge missions! Apollo 13 challenge missions: on the 3rd mission to land on the Moon, an oxygen tank explosion in the Service Module. The mission is aborted. Your challenge is return the crew safely back to Earth using only the Lunar Module. Space Shuttle Return to Launch Site (RTLS): pilot the Shuttle back to base after solid rocket boosters are jettisoned. Space Shuttle Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL): after main engine cutoff, land the Shuttle at an alternative landing base. Improvements: • improved GUI - move, close and resize control windows more easily • reentry procedure fixes, reentry autopilot mode improved • Space Shuttle accelerometer mode fixes • GUI showing current autopilot mode • orbit predictor fixes • improved Space Shuttle aerodynamics • more detailed dock mfd • improved custom missions panel with more config options. You can now launch from the KSC with any spacecraft at any time. • user selectable max memory usage to clamp memory used for textures

• Step-by-step interactive tutorials of the Apollo Program lunar missions from launch in Cape Kennedy to landing on the Moon through reentry and splashdown. These tutorials take you through the same procedures, paths and events that lead man to the Moon in July 1969. • new Gemini capsule and missions • AutoPlay option for automated tutorial and mission walkthroughs • Improved interactive orbit visualizer allowing easy visualization of complex orbital mechanics • Configurable window-based UI allowing customization of the interface to suit your preferences • Improved rendering engine for planets and moons, hi-resolution surfaces and atmosphere and new metal-based graphics engine for unprecedented realism at maximum possible framerate

Space Simulator v1.0.6 major updates: • custom missions editor - begin your mission at any position around a planet of your choosing with your favorite spacecraft • resizable HUD windows - introducing a new GUI system with uniform windows-style resize-able and draggable control panel, MFD, camera, time and orbit planner windows • new Space Launch System (SLS) missions - full SLS lunar missions from launch, rendezvous, docking, trans-lunar injection through to lunar landing, reentry and splashdown • comprehensive configuration options - extensive geometry, graphics and physics options to maximize optimized performance across all devices. • multilingual support - currently supporting English, French and Spanish Other Updates: - improved ground geometry and textures - improved performance on all device

Prevent parachute being released in atmosphere or while docked Implement spacecraft self shadows Fix for the smoke glitch Fix the hollow Apollo service module ( seen when detaching , prior to re-entry ) More comprehensive documentation Dual texture animated water Implement : Landing gear touchdown Sound FX Fix : ISS was flipped on X axis Implement : docking strobe on ISS port(s) Fix : Eagle Lander had serious polygon degradation Fix : Eagle Lander should burn on atmospheric re-entry Fix : Shuttle's rudder didn't work with RCSOFF , also generate adverse roll Implement : Shuttle's landing gear release ( original sound footage from NASA ) Fix : pause/unpause stops/restarts the re-entry flames Fix : pause/unpause stops/restarts the ME flames Fix the texture shifted west on KSC Fix: Dates were showing the next [ +1 ] month , as JulianToAODate gives months [1-12] and not [0-11]. Implement : Internal HTML browser allows table tags , to auto-export the documentation Fix : Overlapping text on paused screen Fix : Bug when external camera disabled and TV/Drama cam conflict Fix : Don't show camera icon if external camera is disabled Fix : Button text could bleed out on retina Fix : International Space Station on wrong inclination ( fixed also Atlantis's autopilot to inject in correct orbit ) Implement : Amazonas river now is specular Implement : Open external browser window when accessing documentation Fix : SM Umbilical and CM wrongly placed Guided mission ( Saturn V launch to Orbit ) moved to Tutorials , and created an unguided mission on the original path Guided mission AGC Mars atmosphere modelled correctly ( i.e. now no way to take off aerodynamically ) ... Orbital Dynamics Guided Tutorial ( Apollo CSM on orbit over Europe ) Fix size and alignment of help/tutorial panels Mars textured and with correct atmospheric haze Shuttle "Orion" from 2001 for free flight "Hover" for the Orion Shuttle ( so IT can lift from Mars ) Cuter smoke trail (new system )for the Orion Fix bleed on the joysticks background Release auto-att-hold when using the joystick Fix graphic issues with LEM descent stage Reverse camera pitch , so it can show more of the ground Jetliner-style FDAI for the Shuttle Orion Remove "COMP" option in dashboard for Orion/non-Apollo as it was a bit misleading Remove dash-ball which was pretty much useless now we have FD / HSI
