msfs concorde

[John BONNIN]

I’m waiting for the ‘Concorde for MSFS’ tag 

[Adrian Forsbom]

I need the Concorde in MSFS ASAP.. P3D is fun, but I need to move 100%over to MSFS

Perhaps they will create a new folder next to the 32X folder  tonight ,named concorde!

I wish...but unfortunately something tells me that we'll have to wait some years before we see a Cocnorde in MSFS  Hopefully my sensation is wrong

[Steve Prowse]

Guys we ain’t going to get a FSL Concorde any time soon for MSFS.  I’ve moved to a different platform period.

[Sean Robins]

Hi All,

have any of you got some advice on using Concorde X with FSX on newer PC's? i am running windows 11.

I have just installed FSX (non Steam Edition) but i cannot get the concorde to work. after i get the message "ins loaded- nav mode mix" FSX restarts. i have the boxed version of Concorde X. I know they ceased support for it a few years ago and i missed the upgrade patch for the steam edition. i am just asking if any of you that still use it have some advice on how to get it working.

cheers

[Ray Proudfoot]

@Sean Robins, the only info I can find is in the Concorde-X forum. It appears to involve failed registrations under an old version of windows.

https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/topic/4243-ins-loaded-nav-mode-mix-ctd/#comment-20076

An email to support may be required.

[Fraser Gale]

Unfortunately with Concorde X no longer supported FSLabs support tickets probably won’t help. 
 

My advice would have been to upgrade to P3D v5 and the new Concorde, though I’m not sure v5 is still available.

Thanks for the help guys,

I didnt think a support ticket would help as they stopped supporting it. just wanted to see if anyone knew of a work around. there is a concorde for MSFS but i dont think its near the quality of FSLABS on fsx. i feel i will just be left dissapointed. Even in the brief 5 seconds or so i have in the cockpit before the sim shuts down, it looks amazing.

I'll just quietly join the queue while we wait for a possible MSFS iteration.

cheers any ways chaps

Hello everybody, 

I have a quite troublesome situation/decision and thought the people in this forum would be able to provide me with the best answer. I have desired for quite a while now to get my hands on a highly realistic model of Concorde. For nearly 2 years now I have been flying the Colimata Concorde on XPLANE 12, but due to a multitude of issues with its realism and issues with Vulkan, it has been more than sub par to what I desire out of a Concorde. After doing some investigation I have ended looking at the FSlabs Concorde as a possible solution, however there is a major caveat. I have never used p3d before in my life, meaning obviously I lack any addons for the simulator, which from what I’ve gathered are basically a necessity, and of course these addons cost money, quite a bit of money. If we knew even a rough timeline for when the Concorde would release for MSFS I would consider waiting, but the issue with that is the Concorde might release next month or in 2 years, lets hope im wrong. However my desire for a realistic Concorde is exponentially growing, and with realism by far being my highest priority in an aircraft/simulator, the Concorde for P3Dv5 could very well be a solution. I am also curious about the overall performance of the aircraft, Ive heard it can be incredibly VRAM heavy, would 16gb be enough on 1440p? Also I am curious if it is a very buggy aircraft , and the general frequency of CTD’s, which I’ve already had enough with on the Colimata Concorde. Finally what would be some “necessary addons” I should consider getting, as I don’t really have an idea to what I should look for in a simulator I’ve never played before. Sorry for the long post and all the questions, its just that this has been bugging me for a long time, and hopefully somebody can provide some quality insight on my situation.

Thank you all very much for your time,

Leon

Firstly, as to a timeline for an MSFS Concorde: I wouldn’t expect information on that right now from FSLabs as they only provide information when they have something imminent and current work focus can be seen by reading the posts in the announcements area.

I had monitored the Colimata development when it first began but I wasn’t impressed by what they considered accurate when it came to systems and how to fly Concorde, so I stopped looking at it.  I’m surprised by how many people believe it to be accurate actually and I think I’m right in saying a simulator has been built using it which declares itself to be a fully working Concorde simulator - I can’t see how, personally.  They even charge people to fly it…. Anyway, I digress.

P3D is an old platform now but has been improved since its days as FSX.  Unlike MSFS where you could use the scenery as it comes and be quite happy, P3D does require some addon scenery to bring it up to scratch.  The bonus with Concorde is, she tended to stick to her main Atlantic routes so you don’t need lots of addon scenery, and if you do take her to some charter places, you could probably put up with the generic airports on an infrequent basis.  
 

Both P3D and MSFS benefit from having Active Sky for real world weather, so I’d advise having that.  Then you would probably want addon scenery for Heathrow and New York as a minimum and then go from there.  If you just want to learn Concorde, that might be all you need.

16GB VRAM should be enough to run it but you might want to turn off the cabin to save some memory - it just depends on your system and how efficient it is.  It isn’t “buggy” no, there are little things that some users don’t like because they were used to previous versions (they are fully entitled to have this opinion) but they aren’t showstoppers by any means.  I fly her all over the world on a regular basis and part of the fun is working round her quirks - just like crews had to do in the real thing.   Flying the regular routes she works perfectly and is accurate to real world standards.  Any CTDs I’ve had have been graphics card related but they’ve happened in MSFS too….

If you really want to learn Concorde, I wouldn’t wait and get P3Dv5 but I would also only buy essential addons at this point as it is essentially frozen in time now.  Just a disclaimer here - I have no knowledge of when Concorde will be available for MSFS but my personal opinion is that release isn’t imminent, so I’d go for P3D to fill the gap. If it does release in the next week don’t blame me though

16 GB VRAM should be enough for 1440p, im flying the Concorde with 12 GB (with the cabin turned off) on pretty high settings in 1440p without problems. Aside from Active Sky for weather and some airports I would recommend ChasePlane (for camera setup as well as camera effects) and GSX (for ground handling, the integration with the Concorde adds a lot of immersion).

[Peter Fabian]

It's been two months and we haven't even seen any indication of progress on PW A321neo, let alone 320s and 319s.

 

At this rate, Concorde is realistic for FS2028

[Michele Benedetti]

I would hope (the keyword here being “hope” 😂😅) that once the 321/321Neo Line up is finished it won’t take too much time to roll out the 320s and 319s. They are in the end very very similar one another. Hopefully by then we will also have a progress update on Concorde

[Frédéric ZAMBELLI]

Hello everybody,
With the arrival of FS2024 on the ps5, I think there is a definite interest in releasing the Concorde.
This mythical plane will interest many novice or experienced players.
Go go go  Flightsimlabs !!!

FSLabs planes are not compatibile with console versions of MSFS anyway.

In my opinion, internally, it will be very close to the P3D version which has been available for two years. I haven’t seen any images of the MSFS version.

If you’re looking out of the windows below 10,000ft that means you’re not paying attention to flying the aircraft. Above that it’s debatable the differences are significant. Given most of Concorde’s time was spent over ocean at supersonic speeds there’s no difference in any sim.

No Ray, trust me, there's a huge difference, no matter if you're at 10k or at 100k, it's just the environment, the atmosphere, the lighting, it's just day and night. I can't wait for Concorde to come to MSFS

Michele, I’ve seen MSFS24 on several occasions and whilst the environment is better than P3D I don’t find that a good enough reason to dump a sim I have invested a large amount of money in. Each to their own. It’s your money so you can spend it as you wish.

I see MSFS as a sim best enjoyed flying below 10,000ft so the scenery can be seen at its best.

As discussed before, can you please make it clear that it is your opinion by using phrases such as “in my opinion” or “my thoughts are” rather than wording posts as if they are direct facts. 

This is purely to avoid confusion among the wider community, especially among those who may read more recent topics without having been around to read ones directly from the company.   I’m sure we are all guilty of reading the easiest to find posts to save going through many others to find the information we wish and there may be people who read your posts who think you have information that they don’t, when in fact you are merely stating your opinion.  
 

Also, if you never intend to actually have MSFS, I’m puzzled as to why you’d feel the need to make an assumption as per the one above.  
 

Many thanks for your future cooperation in this matter.

What can/should we expect first? The P&W A321NEO or the Concorde?

 

I am not stating a preference. I feel this will not only satisfy my curiosity but also the curiosity of other people.

I believe concorde holds a very low priority in their product line, so it is currently being completely ignored.

According to the news section of the website (link below) the plan is P&W after the initial NEO release.  Further than that I can’t comment.

Having looked carefully at the Announcements and the remainder of the website I cannot see a single mention of Concorde for MSFS. The only mention of it is in the announcement in August 2023 that it is released for P3Dv5.

If there is to be a version for MSFS shouldn’t there be some news? Perhaps I’ve missed it but if it is on the website it’s well hidden.

Why does there always have to be some news, exactly?

I think most people are now aware that the FSLabs policy is they comment when there is something to comment on and not before.  As can be seen from the news page I posted the link to, they mention the next thing on the list once the previous one is complete.

To drum up interest of course. Where’s the announcement that FSL are working on a version of Concorde for MSFS? There isn’t one so quite reasonably people may deduce there isn’t going to be one.

You yourself have said the XPlane version falls short of the real Concorde and having seen it a few times on a friend’s system I agree. The DC Designs Concorde is built to a price but doesn’t have the depth of systems the FSL P3Dv5 one has.

A simple statement that it will be released when development and beta testing is completed is quite sufficient. No one is expecting weekly, monthly or even quarterly updates. Just something to say it’s in development.

Isn’t that reasonable?

Thank you, Fraser.

I will say "a couple of weeks" has been stretched slightly (lol). Im looking forward to the release of the PW A321NEO and the Concorde.

There comes a time where we have to accept that you guys are the developers and you work at your own pace. Keep it up!

Exactly Stephen. Maybe it’s buried in a topic but that’s hardly the ideal way of announcing your intentions.

The point is FSL have serious competition for the Airbus in MSFS but no serious competition for Concorde. They’d have the lion’s share of sales. One person who has been waiting for a long time has said he’s switching platforms. Others may follow.

Gents,

Look at the announcement of August 15 2023:

And lastly - we cannot wait to start showing more previews on what we've also been working on  For anyone waiting for that version - we are going to be offering a discount to all our loyal P3Dv5 Concorde customers once that product is available in the future!

So that’s speculation then..the future lies a long way in front of us..I don’t do Concorde..I’m Airbus only..but for the likes of @Ray Proudfoot..it’s very relevant..I never thought I would detract from P3D..but here I am with v5.4 and both msfs versions on my computer

Is that a question or a statement? Where in that image does it show it was taken in MSFS. It’s obvious to me it’s from P3D.
