Yes I do I speculate a PMDG 747 will be out before any FSL airframe will release for MSFS. Any takers.

I guess I have an inquisitive mind. I find it fascinating to be able to get an insight into an ingenious system that took inter-continental flights past using bubble sextants long before GPS was even thought of. I guess that's just me 🤷‍♂️. Each to their own.

Yes, an "insight", then are you bored and tired of them in Simulation life after many hours and years ago like me?, your mind could to know that to be bored tired of something does not mean that it wasn´t fascinating. Maybe all fascine to you and you live in a complete 24h per day fascinating sensation, other people during hours, or from time to time, even a plane heavier than the air is fascinating, I guess that's just me 🤷‍♂️ . Each to their own.

 

I don´t know who is saying that an INS is not or was fascinating and you can be bored of using it, more when there are other much better ways to manage it. You could buy and use an immense PC of 50 years ago big as a room, because is fascinating for you and better you use that and that is the better because it fascinates you haha. If I want an FMS, AS WAS PLANNED IN REAL LIVE, AND THEY DON’T HAVE AN FMS, BECAUSE THEIR RETIREMENT FOR FARE COSTS AND LOW DEMAND REASONS etc., is there a problem? that is not fair IRL? or in fake live or in simulation live?, is not for me or nobody such Concorde?, only if she is not study level?, then yes, nobody complain its GPS, why?, it is a unsupportable “stupid” offense haha, an aberration. What a responses🤷‍♂️ .

Years ago unfortunately, by the time I found interest in a Concorde Simulator for FSX it was already too late...😥

The entire life cycle of this addon happened while I was working overseas.😞

Last night I looked everywhere on the web for Concorde documents from British Airways and Air France. You can find following the link below:

-Flight manuals 

-Performance manuals

-Aircraft Maintenance manuals

-Aircraft Wiring Diagram manuals

-Structural Repair manual

-Illustrated Parts Catalogue

Interesting tidbit over at the FSLabs forums: https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/topic/32739-p3d-v6/?do=findComment&comment=259668 where FSL indirectly says they are currently testing their Concorde in MSFS.

"... when we have a brand new Concorde title flying in P3D v5 and MSFS"

This is the first time they've given any indication of how far along their MSFS Concorde even is (as there was some speculation if parallel development was going on between P3D and MSFS), the fact that they are "flying" it currently in MSFS speaks to far more progression than I thought 🤔

Aside: On a note that relates to their plans in general for MSFS, they also mentioned this in that thread:
"Our customers who have since migrated to MSFS (a significant proportion) could equally put forward a similar argument. Our business decisions are not engineered around customer loyalty - they are built upon market research and ROI."  ... this IMO speaks to how they pretty much view their primary audience as MSFS now, at the very least a non-trivial audience.

flying in FSL terms means "it will fly but in 10 years time" 😄 

That thread turned into a heated discussion on fsabs forum lol

That is great to hear. I believe they would not mention this if the MSFS version was that far behind. FSLabs is generally very laconic and/or precise in their communications…

Hope springs eternal lol... maybe in time for MSFS 2024 then. Jokes aside, given just how little FSL says usually I'm taking this tidbit as a sign of their MSFS Concorde not lagging too far behind the P3D version.

Maybe it's a good thing 😁,

Seriously, I am afraid they will reuse P3D model and texture of the cockpit for exemple. It looks ok, but quite far from what we see in MSFS today.

Man i miss fslabs so much, id kill to have their a321 and an a330 in msfs.

Ideally the A330 should've been their first aircraft for MSFS but sounds like the Concorde will be, or maybe who knows their MSFS A330 is also in development and might release before Concorde (hope springing eternally again).

Either which way, I'd much rather they focus and bring out the A330 first rather than a A32x since we have some good choices there already in the Fenix and FBW.

Latest tease from FSLabs Norman Blackburn :

We are maybe a little more fortunate than most since we get to play with a number of our own addons in MSFS
