FLIGHTSIM LABS CONCORDE X IS RELEASED!!! WOOHOO!

70 bucks is a bit steep, and we enter the realism debate again. In a realistic Concorde you would have the help of a First Officer and a Flight Engineer. If they developed it so you can play those parts via shared cockpit with your buddies, great, thats a fantastic step toward FS realisim. It looks beautiful, but Bill's Victory is a 'concorde' in itself that a single pilot can enjoy :)

I haven't noticed any kind of FPS hit compared to the MD-11, or the 377 Stratocruiser. For awhile I was in a heavy fog and it didn't skip a beat. I actually had to modify the weather to clear myself (which is something I am strongly against, but I did it cause I'd rather clear the weather than crash), because I couldn't find the airport. I do have my frames locked at 20FPS though. I never had any luck using the unlimited setting like other people. Gauges all worked smooth in the VC. Another note on that is that all the panels on the FE station can be brought up in 2D windows. Is definately a complex bird though. I am sure once I spend some time in the manual and on the ground it will become second nature. At one point the MD-11 seemed hard as well, but now it is almost second nature. When I first started out on the 11 I couldn't even use a FMC. Although this aircraft seems to use some kind of coordinate based system that... As far as FPS goes though my system specs are i7-950, ASUS P6T V2 MB, 6GB RAM, Nvidia 285GTX, 750GB HD & 150GB Raptor 10,000RPM (for FSX), and I just use onboard sound. My FSX is setup as suggested by Nick N, and I use Nhancer.
 
What's the point of the spiky lattice thing atop the dash directly in front of you?
 
Honestly, it is like some developers are trying to lose sales by over pricing. This hobby is ridiculously expensive. $50 for and airport, $70 for a jet, $60 for some scenery..... There is a lot of stuff I would love to get if it was a matter $10-$25, but I have a very hard time dropping $50+ dollars for what amounts to a " part " of a game I play. No wonder developers are starving, nobody wants my business. :salute:
 
For years I was huge into model railroading. I had to let it go when the cost of a single good quality locomotive was close to $100 US.

We all have a limit when it comes to recreational spending. This hobby is no different from any other ;)
 
Considering I purchased FSX Gold edition for $53.00 the price they're asking for 1 aircraft is laughable. :icon_lol:

This is me leaving their shop :running:

MMMMMM those newest screenshots are mighty enticing.

Ugh. I think bill's new plane comes before this one on my to-buy list. It's price is also much better. :wiggle:
 
i don't think francois would be involved with something that wasn't top-shelf. from my perception of him here and on his forum, he seems like a pretty straight shooter. if i had the kind of computer and peripherals to support a complex aircraft, and wished to purchase one, the concorde would be a front runner. however, the price is what kills it for me because i would be unable to make use of all the cool features involved. i just couldn't justify that $$ to run the plane on my P4 2.8 and geforce fx5500 card in a 6 yr old dell 2400 with a 17" crt monitor.
 
Well.....i´m going to say this and then duck under my desk...

..at least they are offering a full modeled product, VC and all, with complex systems at a very steep price...while others.....

I am happy to see it has a virtual FE, his job was just as important as the pilots. Without fine fuel transfer balancing, it would not go supersonic. This one is not for me though, I'll stick with single seater aircaft with this sort of performance.
 
Expensive...

The Concorde was allways expensive, the project, the kerozen, the places for customers, that's why the only way to see her again is to pay the price for a Sim. As a french guy I can't see that without some tears in my eyes, thank you for the video, this will allways be an oustanding aircraft !
PS : Is it available with Air France coulours ?

I understand the model rail roading analogy all to well. That was my dads biggest hobby was HO scale trains, and all that stuff shot through the roof. Is why I try to choose one hobby and stick with it. No matter where I turn though prices are going up. Target shooting has gone through the roof with ammo prices increasing. So for me this is kind of a last frontier. Although if electricity rates sky rocket, or something to that effect then this hobby might come to an end as well. At least for the most part the computer/software are just a one time up front investment.
