Hi Savio, As you may have seen a couple of days ago Asobo made a release to 2024 which caused us - and several other developers, some heartache as they changed the location of the community folder. The reason it affected us is because we are actively testing our products in 2024. As soon as we have more info we will announce it.

The rumours are news will come the day after Hell freezes over!

I'm sure the team are hard at work

That's the point, although the other developer is already about to deliver the NEO LEAP PW versions, it doesn't compare to the FSLAB dynamics, but as a customer I will obviously enjoy the other plane for a while, for the rest we don't know when it will be ready to be compatible with fs2024.

Correct, there are many different communication styles. In FSLabs case, they simply don't. Now that's an exaggeration but not by much. And respectfully, it does not take much time to give your customers and potential customers a quarterly update as Ray mentioned above. Heck, even one every 6 months would be nice.

I think it will all be compatible together, the NEO will arrive and it will also be compatible with fs24, at least we have to think that the amount of programming the plane has should not make it so easy to take everything to the next level, if the only thing missing is that they tell us the dates so at least we don't bother anymore. XD hahahahaha

@Fraser Gale, I believe there was a belated apology and acknowledgment the data came from FSL site. But access to any Concorde documentation would appear a moot point as it’s been retired over 20 years now and interest from the younger generation is limited. And given very little can be controlled in the 64-bit version using that information would seem to have limited usefulness. Norman is very helpful on the forum but access would be something only @Lefteris Kalamaras can decide. Just for info PMDG are still a successful business and any piracy doesn’t appear to have damaged them. The dangers of downloading a pirated copy is evident on what else might be placed on the user’s PC. Something very nasty possibly.

Are you aware some of the plans in the old Concorde forum were taken without permission and ended up on the Colimata forum for XP? Not much you can do about this type of “theft” if it’s considered as such. Just as anyone who bought Concorde for P3D and also bought the Colimata one could copy and paste all your technical documents you kindly provided. The internet is the Wild West. You can’t control it. But giving prospective MSFS Concorde customers read access to the relevant forums would be a good move in customer relations.

Hi Norman, We used to be able to access the Concorde Lounge but even this is not accessable anymore! Would it be possible to open all forums to users registered with other products as we have not pirated them and you can verify these users as genuine? As Ray has said it would reduce questions. Kind Regards Tim Marchant

@Troy Kretzul, I create my own custom routes with PFPX. It remains an excellent planner. I also adhere to the rules regarding supersonic flight. Providing you have the freedom to add your own waypoints SimBrief should be fine. I always have my first waypoint as the SID exit point and last is the STAR entry point. That way the routes can be generic irrespective of runways in use. When you feed that plan into the HP200X the accel and decel points are determined by the software and one of its long standing bugs is the inability to fine tune them. Same with the decel point. Fortunately the accel enunciation is just that. Words without any aircraft systems changing. But the decel point will reduce thrust so if your own decel point is later I just hit F4 a few times to maintain full power. Irritating but it can be overridden. I have a few short favourites. Oslo- Heathrow, Manchester to Lisbon and Tampa to Houston. All no longer than 1.5hrs.

I agree with you Ray. Surely official support can be restricted without inhibiting community resources for prospective Concorde customers like myself.

Surely piracy is pretty minimal these days with all the safeguards you put in place? PMDG have no restrictions and it doesn’t seem to be an issue for them.

I really don’t understand all these restrictions. Those waiting to buy the MSFS Concorde could learn a lot from reading the P3D Concorde forum. The alternative is they’ll ask exactly the same questions on release and staff will have their valuable time wasted answering them. Open everything up and FSL lives will be much easier.

That would be really great, especially now that the other developer has shared their roadmap and we know what to expect from them.

I didn’t list the issues since they cover several aspects of the aircraft. My own concerns are related to adjusting the accel and decel points on custom flights. Another issue was the aircraft turning too early towards the next waypoint thereby causing a waypoint on a separate moving map utility not to be credited. And most things are controlled by the Virtual Crew leaving you - the pilot - with little to control. Others familiar with flying Concorde have become frustrated they can’t start the engines themselves or control the fuel balance. FSL have made no announcements if this will change for the MSFS version or even which sim will be supported. The aircraft is perfectly flyable. But some aspects are frustrating.

You missed one out. Giving updates every few months 1) It takes little time to post info and 2) it’s frequent enough to satisfy most people. I suspect the current strategy satisfies only a tiny number who wonder if the aircraft they bought (Concorde in my case) is even being worked on to resolve the numerous issues raised in that forum. Knowing it is would make a world of difference to how FSL is perceived. PS. I notice you have bought Concorde. When did you last fly it if you don’t mind me asking?

It's been a long 4 years but finally back in the labs , Thanks for all the hard work guys.
