Mark let me tell you.. You video is one of the " have to have".. in our collection.....I will recommend into the forums  I am member.. to see it..... to be honest, i didn't finish yet, but I will.... I am a fan of this AC .with more that 15 years of sim. and still can't  use in the way have to be used..

Congratulation Mark You did a  really impressive Work... and , beside that i didn't  see many  tutorial of our legendary Concorde.. not many could fly it.. properly..   +10..

Btw  i see that you are located at YYZ.. ( I am living here too) did you have a chance to went to Pearson. when he was doing the raid?.. was colossal....!!

Thanks for the nice words, no I did not see it a Pearson but did get to see it at the CNE Air Show a few years before that.

Nice vid!

 

I had no intention of getting the Concorde, but after this view I have to seriously think about it. Just from looking at the vid, I can see I'd have to spend a lot of time on INS programming as well as the fuel balancing mini game. An aircraft like this really makes me appreciate all of those "auto" settings on modern aircraft! Concorde seems to have been a very hands on air craft.

 

Exactly. I'm currently in cruise of a flight from KLGA to KFLL in the NGX and I am bored rigid so playing Far Cry 3 on my gaming PC. If I was flying Concorde I wouldn't be able to fart without something going wrong in the aircraft as a consequence.

 

Have to say it looks a great vid and one I shall be grabbing and adding to my collection.

Awesome video!!! I never knew how much there was to flying that thing. I've been watching RW videos of the Concorde for the last hour now.

Great video Mark! The Concorde X is a hugely challenging beast and you clearly know your stuff so well done. I think videos like this will become the norm in our community as more high end add-ons come out and we demand ever greater detail in how to fly them properly. Hopefully at some point FSL will give Concorde a makeover as the VC is sadly a bit sub-par these days with the latest and greatest offerings but it's comforting to know that the attention to detail is bordering on the obsessional and bodes well for their upcoming A320. I also have yet to hear any VATSIM controller who doesn't sound like he's speaking through a soggy woollen sock and your video did nothing to dispel that! Your comms were great and the take off was particularly exciting, especially the countdown to banging open the throttles. Who wouldn't sell their Grandma to do that in the real one?

Thanks for the nice comments.

 

The Vatsim voice is actually much clearer live than recorded.  Recording "what you hear" is much more difficult now that Microsoft and the sound card companies have removed the what you hear option (at the request of the record industry).  I have to use some other programs to get it to work and it ended up being very choppy. 

thanks for posting, it's always nice watching the concorde

Thank you for this incredible work. It's really useful and it will help all interested in this Magnificent bird.

Now you need to return to JFK or you can do a CGD to GIG, just kidding

I just did the return flght to JFK while filming the Fuel Panel video I am making.  As for CDG to GIG, that is interesting.  I have flown every regular route of the Concorde (over 80 of them I think) plus the Round the World and Africa trips twice but never once flow an Air France Concorde flight....this is mostly because I fly for BAV and I guess I prefer to log flights with my VA.

 

 

Thank you for this great video. I bought Concorde, but still reading manuals. It may be more challenging than Maddog  

Back in 2005 I used to get tutorial from BAV to fly Boeing plane and found many information.

Now you will had your contribution, it's strange that BAV don't have charting system as the Concorde flew many chart route at the end.

In my VA there are several plane that you can book for chart route as long as you respect rule from real world, maybe you can ask if they implement it.

On real the BOAC flew even in New Zealand.

 

Some of the charters are there but not the full slate.

Its the most challenging aircraft for FSX by a long shot.

Awesome video! The concorde is too much work for me!

The concorde is too much work for me!

 

It was too much work for the real pilots too. Thats why the whole fleet was grounded. Too many pilots jumping in midflight wearing parachutes.

Hey, tell me can I shut the lines connecting collector tanks with trim lines? I played with fuel system today: I set 9 and 10 tanks full and all other tanks empty. Then, I shut all inlet valves and turn on pumps in tanks 9 and 10. Fuel started to flow from 9 and 10 to collector tanks. If you look at schematic of fuel system, indeed trim system is connected with collector tanks, and there are valves, but there are no control for that valves. I wonder if I can shut those valves and prevent fuel from trim system to flow there?

 

There is one more observation. At schematic, beside main inlets, there are "auxiliary" lines and valves (with no control) from trim lines to tanks 5 and 7, and with common sense logic, I expected when I fill collector tanks, fuel will continue to flow to tanks 5 and 7, but no. Once, collector tanks are full, fuel flow stops.
