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)
 
  
 +
The DeltaGliderIII  has been a major improvement over both the standard-issue [[Delta-glider]] and [[DeltaGliderII]] - complex, realistic yet easy to use. It features:
 +
* realistic crew support:
 +
** a living crew that realistically reacts to the flight conditions; 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 panels packed with many user friendly and very intuitive features
 +
** 40 integrated sounds; button, panel, systems, pilot's heart beat, afterburner, warnings, animation etc. etc.
 +
** onboard flight computer with many displays and 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 (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 DeltaGlider mesh that reflects the correct number of crew inside
 +
** new hi-res 1024x1024 textures with many 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, etc.
 +
* improved configuration support:
 +
** a config program that will help you set the skin, crew, payload, power, fuel, life reserve etc etc.
 +
** custom installer, no install problems

DeltaGliderIII is a succesfull 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

Features and capabilities

The DeltaGliderIII has been a major improvement over both the standard-issue Delta-glider and DeltaGliderII - complex, realistic yet easy to use. It features:

  • realistic crew support:
    • a living crew that realistically reacts to the flight conditions; 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 panels packed with many user friendly and very intuitive features
    • 40 integrated sounds; button, panel, systems, pilot's heart beat, afterburner, warnings, animation etc. etc.
    • onboard flight computer with many displays and 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 (rescue mission available)
