==Description==
DeltaGliderIII is a very advanced space ship, which includes the following features:

* A living crew capable of performing EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity)
* Simulation of the environment within the cabin - e.g. O<sub>2</sub> level, temperature, etc.
* A very detailed control panel with working controls for various systems
* An on-board flight computer
* Support for skins (i.e. paint schemes)

-'''DeltaGliderIII''' is a successful attempt by Daniel "DanSteph" Polli to create an improved version of the standard-issue [[Delta-glider]] for the [[Orbiter]] space flight simulator. It has been built upon the now discontinued '''DeltaGliderII''' and has been succeeded by the more efficient [[DeltaGliderIV]], "first flying" in May 2007.
+==Description==
+DeltaGliderIII is a very advanced space ship, which includes the following features:
-Since the release of the DGIV, the DGIII is no longer avalable to download.
+* A living crew capable of performing EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity)
+* Simulation of the environment within the cabin - e.g. O<sub>2</sub> level, temperature, etc.
+* A very detailed control panel with working controls for various systems
+* An on-board flight computer
+* Support for skins (i.e. paint schemes)
-==Features and capabilities==
-The DeltaGliderIII  has been a major improvement over both the standard-issue Delta-glider Mk.2 and DeltaGliderII - complex, realistic yet easy to use. It features:
+==Links==
-* realistic [[crew support]]:
+*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeltaGliderIII DeltaGliderIII on Wikipedia]
-** a living crew that realistically reacts to the flight conditions; [[Acceleration|G]], temperature, cabin O2 level etc.
-** you can actually kill the crew if you vent-off the [[atmosphere]] of the craft
-** life support and alerts
-** you can actually hear your astronauts breathe as you travel between spaceships.
-* improved cockpit:
-** realistic [[panel|panels]] with many user friendly and rather intuitive features
-** 40 integrated sounds; button, panel, systems, pilot's heart beat, afterburner, warnings, animation etc. etc.
-** onboard flight computer with many displays and [[autopilot|autopilots]] and ability to load user-defined programs
-** a complete panel in three part with many systems; life, apu, engine etc.
-** an autopilot that will help you during [[ascent]], [[re-entry]], [[landing]] etc.
-** [[MMU]] also has panel and sound
-** a new Check-list [[MFD]]
-** realistic refueling that requires pilot's attention
-* improved physics:
-** crew can [[EVA]] and re-enter the ship
-** crew can be exchanged between two DeltaGliderIII's (rescue mission available)
-** a ship reacts to flight conditions (no more unrealistic re-entry or landing)
-* improved visuals:
-** new animations (deploy the ae35 antenna, see the air intake opening, open the canopy)
-** reworked Delta-glider mesh that reflects the correct number of crew inside
-** new hi-res 1024x1024 [[Texture|textures]] with many [[skin|skins]] available
-** can have many ships with different skins in one [[scenario]]
-** 3 hi-res skins included with the base package
-** strobe light
-** engine smoke, ventil smoke, crash smoke, fuel dump smoke, dope smoke etc.
-* improved configuration support:
-** a config program that will help you set the skin, crew, payload, power, fuel, life reserve, etc.
-** custom installer, no known install problems
-== History and evolution ==
+[[Category:Addons]][[Category:Vessel addons]]
-DeltaGliderIII is a natural progression from the '''DeltaGliderII''' developed by the same [[DanSteph|author]]. The first official version of the DeltaGliderIII was released on [[19 July 2004]]. On 15 May 2007, the successor [[DeltaGliderIV]] entered public beta testing, with final release being close.
