I'm with the game since the early access status and was surpised how much fun the game already was.

Now I am using the version 1.0 even though the screen resolution don't really fit my monitor and my eyes starts aching later on.

Still I am surprised how much fun it is.
Design, music, sound, immersion, concept - A great product.
Nevertheless, I hope Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager will further upgraded, will further improved.

Must say I actually had a laugh when I realized that the "picture" of my best pilot was wearing glasses

Apart from that, having a blast.

Status: offline 		I miss the famous red cancel button!

If during the launch countdown, an error/malfunction/failure is reported, I should be able to abort the start by pushing this red button.

This action should be in a time window.
The sooner I push the button, the more likely it is that the abortion is successful.
If the abortion is not successful - the countdown goes on and the mission continue.
So maybe then the mission blows or it became a success.
If the abortion is successful, the prestige lose should be lowered.

Status: offline 		why force time limit to abord/try to fix problem during lauch ? simply put there dialgue/decision screen and lets decide. Good old varis from 1993 was much better in this launch/mission screen, and need to say, having original vidoes leaved totaly different impresion from seeing mission that watching these animations.
Baris did have beter atmosphere, think which this game need to work on.

Status: offline 		So now there is the graph of an explosion (unfortunately only one ).

Should this not also be accompanied with a sound file?
Explosion and perhaps, screaming people (the stereotypical American, oh my God )...

And yes I know, I'm sitting inside MC and should not hear anything from outdoors.
But I also hear the booster.

Status: offline 		I noticed when doing the X-15 space plane launches now that with the released version we don't hear the talk between the pilot and base, like we did in the beta versions. Was it taken out of the released version? And if so, why?

Status: offline 		well, i play even today good old baris :), not exactly that original game, but his free-to-play version named space to space with bugfixes and some additions.
And compared to this game :
new ones clearly take advantage of time - more missions, infos..etc and is easier to understand what and how to do some things, but it lack is some ways too - biggets one is "game centre" - mission lauching - not only bacause videos gived you much better atmosphere, but mission control room looked better, and escpecialy you did have CONTOL over mission, so if problem arised you KNOWED exactly what happened and can take decision which will afect outcome of mission (continue/fix problem or abort mission) - something which is in this game seriously lacking, you are just passive viewer, and if something happen, well it is just something you have no idea what happed. Which is serius flaw imo.

Personaly, i rate this as good game with great potencial, it just need fixing of some annoaces/glitches, polishing and adding few missing things and it will be great game. I have feeling that if game was in finishing (beta-test) 1 month longer many things will be finished/fixed/improved and general impersion will be better.
Like mentioned mission resolution for nonwide-screen is serious flaw for someone. I play it in windowed mode and it isnt ideal.
