Happened to me when I was a teenager. They actually implemented most of the shuttle systems. This game should be obtainable/runnable through dosbox, though I am not sure. Give it a try, it IS the most comprehensible shuttle sim you will ever know.

P.S. Interactive cockpit my ass. How about ALL of the dashboards they had in there? That IS the case with the game I mentioned. (And yes, all of those ARE interactive)

I can confirm that.

Just don't ever select the option to start the mission from the VAB. Even with time compression, rolling out to the pad takes forever! And be prepared to learn where every switch is.

The game has different "help modes", ranging from every switch that you have to hit popping up with its panel AND highlighted - to the mode when you have to read the teletype and go and do what is needed at the right moment.

And as about starting from the VAB, I think there was a time compression in that stage that let you get to launch reasonably quickly. Not sure, this was so long ago... : )
