While practically a different spacecraft, the ISS Fleet can be considered part of the Shuttle Fleet add-on family and is required for many Expansion packs and mission supplement scenarios.<ref>[https://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=ISSFleetV4.5R0.zip&fileId=40268 ISS Fleet 4.5], Retrieved 2019-04-02</ref>

===STS Payloads===
 
−
There is an expansion pack which adds the latest STS missions. To install it, follow the basic installation with the installation of the latest ISS Fleet add-on. After that step, you can install the ''"STS Payloads"''.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071016105039/http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2481 STS Payloads 2.01], Retrieved 2019-04-02</ref><ref>[https://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=STSPayloads2010R0.zip&fileId=41322 STS Payloads Expansion Pack for Fleet V4.8], Retrieved 2019-04-02</ref>

The NASA Aircraft Fleet extends the Shuttle Fleet with the various planes used for training and transport of the STS program. To install it, you need the basic Shuttle Fleet installation, the STS Payloads and the ISS Fleet installed.<ref>[https://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=NASAAircraftFleetV4.5R0.zip&fileId=40273 NASA Aircraft Fleet V4.5 for Orbiter 2010], Retrieved 2019-04-02</ref>

The prefered way to fly the shuttle is to use [[GPCMFD]] and [[AutoFCS]]. The GPCMFD displays the MEDS shuttle display modes, while the AutoFCS allows a precise automatic [[reentry]].

If available, it is recommended to enable the following MFDs in the Orbiter launch pad dialog:

* [[GPCMFD]]

* [[AutoFCS]]

* [[OrbiterSound]]

The launch is triggered by selecting item 777 on the [[GPCMFD]] while being in OPS101. The ascent happens automatically to the desired orbit, unless you deactivate the autopilot by pressing {{Key|B}}. The GPCMFD will switch to OPS 102 after the SRBs separated, and to OPS 103 after MECO.

In OPS103, the GPCMFD will display a countdown, the target orbit parameters ([[apogee]] [[height]] and [[perigee]] altitude) and the current orbit parameters. When the countdown reaches zero, ignite the OMS (now the main thruster of the orbiter) and burn until the apogee height is reached. Shutoff the OMS and enter ITEM 15 in the GPCMFD. The GPCMFD will now display countdown and parameters for the second OMS burn (OMS-2).

In later versions, the launch can simply be triggered by setting the orbiter's main engines to full throttle. The entire launch will be automatic.
