You heard right...and it's confirmed in the manual and here:

I wrote a post in this forum in response.

Richard.

seems like you have to buy the product to see the post ... what do they say?

i think having the virtual "helpers" is a pretty reasonable for the broader market MSFS release but hopefully they allow the full functionality for the hardcores

Impressive model! Looks very nice. Unfortunately, I don't really use P3D anymore...

Guess I'll have to wait a couple of decades for the MSFS version 😛
(If there's a market for one, as we already have a Concorde in MSFS, albeit not as detailed...)

I bought a 1 month license to taste the FSLabs Airbuses 319 and 320 and feel even more tempted to buy the Concorde ...

All I can say is that P3Dv5.4 together with the weather provided by Active Sky P3D is way more convincing, flight and operations wise than the Fenix in MFS for me, and while the scenery ( default ) in P3D can't look as good as n MFS, even the fdefault is already just fine to me, enhanced by Orbx Global.

I can now understand better why some say they prefer the FSLabs Airbuses to anything else - I had been away from those for quite a while, but it was certainly worth the reinstall 🙂

FSLabs, HiFi, and P3D, make that platform as actual as MFS, even if you don't want to spend a little fortune in addons to enhance scenery...

Having all he FSLabs Airbuses, just looking at the flight-deck makes me not want to use them at all. With V2-B1, the experience with Fenix is overall much more satisfying.

As for Concorde, I have purchased it due to the MSFS discount. Unfortunately I will have to bear with P3D until that version comes out.

Yes, MSFS is prettier.

Subjective comment and irrelevant to this discussion. No more mention of the other sim please.

It's even written in italic, Ray. I was being a bit ironic/sarcastic....

It didn't come across as ironic. Maybe if we were face-to-face.

I am. Having seen the recommended specs for Concorde I've now bitten the bullet and am now negotiating a deal with Chillblast in the UK for a new computer.

I've purchased Concorde even though it won't be installed until the new PC arrives. The $20 discount for early purchasers was very welcome.

And it appears all aircraft operations are under the control of the Virtual Co-Pilot and Virtual Flight Engineer for now so once you've loaded your plan just sit back and watch everything happen until you need to start the taxi.

It's a very different process to the 32-bit version in the planning and aircraft configuration area.

The Concord has been growing on me. Got it back in the day for, what, P3D v3? Can't really remember (was it v4 or v5 that went 64 bit...?). It is a beast of its own and a piece of aviation history that we probably never will achieve again. I remember flying it several times but never really got the hang of it. Doing three peoples work didn't exactly help either. 

I do believe I'll end up getting this sooner or later (probably sooner as I suffer from a bad case of 'get-addon-itis' 🤪)

I still fly Concorde in P3D v3. Managing fuel as well as flying it is very satisfying. Yes, it takes time to learn but there’s no upper age limit on learning. I was mid 60s at the time and still able to cope.

You can enable everything for the VFE or not depending on your skill level. The new one has a lot of automated control which has frustrated experienced users but it’s done for good reason as the planning process is very different to v3.
