Lieste, your knowledge here leads me to believe you must be a flight simulation program yourself. Truly impressive/enlightening to hear you talk about the real world shuttle specs/systems/operations and how it compares in SSM.
And yeah, I hate landing at Edwards.

The closer you fly the nominal approach and guidance information, by my experience with the Demo, the more likely you are to come to grief on the final flare and touchdown, and off-nominal approaches are intrinsically harder to make consistent.... So it seems to be a choice between random (but safe) landings or consistently fatal ones  Colour me confused, but shouldn't it be a choice between consistent and safe or random and risky?

Of course. I didn't code the thing. I'm just doing my best to have fun playing it. I don't foresee NASA having a need for liberal arts educated astronauts, so it's the next best thing as of now for me.
