The Keflavik/Iceland tour is complete with points I can think of. Maybe 1 screenshot left.

Is there anything else to add? I went through and shortened sentences, and tried to reduce usage of less common words so it can be understood by non-native speakers with differing levels of English, or maybe understood better through google translate.

Kind regards

That seems very nice.
Will the picutres be displayed or will they stay under http:/ links ?

I edited the other wiki page for Space Shuttle and Earthview, tell me if it is ok, or too long etc

They will end up like the images in the FG homepage like this [1]

It will be fine, I think. It's also just possible to do a detailed post in the tour section covering the same thing in more detail, or even ask the flightsim.com person about doing a longer article there sometime in the next year or so.

More detail might be to expand the significant or interesting things, for the audience who aren't familiar with the Space Shuttle, and don't know the terminology.

One thing is that some abbreviations aren't explained in the graphs like main engine cut off for MECO, or SCOM being the shuttle crew operations manual (and where NASA gets it's data for that).

For the bit about how closely the shuttle agrees with data, it might also be worth expanding a bit, maybe in a later tour article (introduce FG's JSBSim & JGM-3 capabilities like Thorsten did, the availability of windtunnel data and any real measurements or CFD else used, then explain a bit in English what's being measured and and against what. It might be interesting to point out things like just how fast the shuttle is going in Mach relative to launch point or ISS compared to something like a supersonic fighter or the Concorde.).

Since it's focusing on one craft, you could add a bunch of the nicest screenshots at the end from the space shuttle forum with brief comment on what each one is :mrgreen:

Kind regards

@vnts: Thanks for the return .


I wanted to keep it quite minimal to just highlight some points and raise the curiosity .
I will put a direct link to the wiki for deeper informations .

I put already a link for those who seek more explanations on what was written
https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=36618


I will change the abbreviations , a bit more text and pictures then :)
