I was one of the many people who beta tested that sim (and I still have it). It's a REALLY detailed sim, a lot more detailed than ANYTHING I've ever seen anyone do in Orbiter.
The only problem is that when they stopped the beta test model and moved to the actual Space Shuttle Simulator 2007, my computer couldn't handle it. This is unfortunate because I REALLY enjoyed the beta which was a lot more primitive than their newest sim. I guess I'm stuck with Orbiter for the time being.

I was VERY active in their forums back then. I didn't find them "hostile" to Orbiter, but we did get a LOT of Orbiter trolls popping in and posting with "attitude" there all the time trying to incite flame wars. Which is really funny because I've never, ever seen an Orbiter fan on any other boards posting like that.

I was also on the old "Exoflight" forums when it was still being developed (It's FINALLY been released in beta after like 9 years. Apparently when it was being developed back then, the dev's discovered that most computers of the day couldn't handle what they wanted to do with it so they shelved it until computers caught up and it's still being worked on albeit, slowly.)
Anyway. In those forums, we also had a LOT of Orbiter trolls grief posting at every opportunity it seemed.
