Thank goodness you can speed up time for those decade-long trips. The universe depicted in Space Simulator is huge, encompassing a total of 8.4 billion light years. This physics-based space flight takes some getting used to, but there are enough autopilot options to get around the more bothersome of Newton’s laws. If you’re used to stopping and turning on a dime in a starfighter, piloting the spacecraft here might seem more than a little challenging.Īs in the real world of space travel, an object in motion will come to a stop only when equal force is exerted in the opposite direction. Whether you’re recreating the Apollo missions to the Moon or embarking on a journey to visit the nearest neighboring solar system, this program will deliver as close to the real thing as possible. Still, Microsoft Space Simulator strives to convey the intricacies and excitement of space travel to those willing to learn.
It’s initially about as fun as picking up a very technical program like 3DS Max or Photoshop. It’s also specifically geared towards the super technical side of space travel, requiring more than a fair share of reading and learning of the physical forces that exert on your craft. Space Simulator is Microsoft’s civilian equivalent of all those semi-realistic space combat games (X-Wing, Wing Commander, TIE Fighter, etc).
