About this game

Precision Approach is a game dedicated to the simulation of the landing of the space shuttle. So, it's a niche game, very detailed, very good looking, given its age (it was released in 95) and also, very satisfyingly, it's got absolutely great set of controls. Now, as you might know, the space shuttle, or for that matter, any space shuttle based on today's technology, does not use thrusters of engines of any kind. Instead, after it enters the atmosphere, it uses the drag, the friction it creates at the impact with air to decelerate. You have to make sure you control this deceleration as good as possible.
