Very cool, very realistic Shuttle landing simulator for your iPhone.

Let me know what your thoughts are on it! I am starting to wish I had an iPhone instead of this Blackberry...

I was never a pilot at camp, and haven't had much experience with shuttle landing sims, but I'll let you know what I think after I've had some time to play with it.

For those of us who don't have an iPhone or iPad, the F-Sim shuttle landing simulator is now available for Android phones!

Oh and by the way, it's a more difficult (and more realistic) than the Binary Star simulation in the museum. I would like to see a port to PC with more functionality. Hotdog recommends this app as a great way for all former Space Camp shuttle commanders to stay sharp on their shuttle landing skills!
