First picture of FSLabs Concorde for MSFS

[lwt1971 7,456]

Concorde is niche but at least something different for MSFS so I think it'll have its fair share of buyers.. if FSL could focus on the A330 or A340 over any A32x that'd be ideal (since high fidelity long haulers still needed for MSFS), but sounds like they have the A321 in the pipeline next along with the Concorde.

I don't like the Nose of the model, does not fit the real life model therefore the DCdesign Concorde X  model looks allmost perfect, i like this much better.

This model from FSL is still the Basic from FSX there it was the same, they should look into this and redesign it for a more better real life look ! 🤔

cheers 😉

The Concorde section of the FSL forums appears to be access restricted now, but it was open up until a few days ago before the P3D release when FSL spoke about the MSFS release below, along with a cryptic story about shoes. The MSFS version has already been in development for a while now per their earlier posts (also at least an airbus too), so I'm thinking their Concorde MSFS release is not years away but more like 2024 or maybe even late 2023? (ok late 2023 is probably very optimistic lol).

😂 Ha yes, but I wish my tax went towards flight sim projects , compared to what the U.K. government actually spends my 45% contributions on it would be money well spent !

Okay, seen this way I can't object!😉

Kind regards, Michael

Just a reminder this is the Concorde in MSFS topic. Not another Airbus one.

Finally managed to complete my first flight on the FSL Concorde. 

My CPU ran extremely hot during the whole flight (85-90c+) and I’ve even experienced a system shutdown during climb. Never had similar issues with other sims and games, or even when running benchmarks…

Departure from EGLL with around 25fps and landing at KJFK @ 15fps, with AI Traffic reduced to a minimum by FSUIPC. Moreover, the airport terminal and textures only loaded when I was already leaving the runway.

The bird itself is pretty unique and flying it is very fulfilling, but it really deserves a platform that can make proper use of modern hardware.

Looking forward to the MSFS release.

I hope they do a total visual overhaul for the MSFS version, because the P3D version looks terrible especially the interior textures.

Maybe they should get a hold of Juan.

The exterior textures also looked very flat to me.  Not trying to be critical.  FSLabs does great stuff with systems.

I had exactly the same thought. I suspect they've actually devoted most of their development time to the MSFS version.

Hopefully texturing etc will be improved for the MSFS version.  Safe to say we’ve become accustomed to not having to choose between good graphics and system depth in MSFS.  
 

I loved the FSLabs airbuses in P3D but they weren’t generally the prettiest.

The A32x series from FSL in P3D VC textures were never anything top notch, it was the systems and sound that sold it. The VC textures in the above picture look just like their A32x stuff, not good at all.

There is not much you can do from a graphics engine that was developed back in the 2000's to look like 2023 standards no matter how hard they try but if pretty graphics is not the biggest issue then FSL put out the best simulated aircraft on a desktop sim with the Concorde to date.

Can you P3D guys with this new release of the FSL Concorde post some pics ( inside and outside views ) probably in the screenshot section of this Forum ?

As a total Concorde Freak i am realy interested in those shots, i would be particularly interested in a side profile of the nose with visor all up and down.

Would be nice if somebody can show some..👍

cheers 😉

If it's running like word not allowed, don't blame the simulator...

FSL (Norman): "I'm tied into what I can say and what I can't however if you could imagine taking that really old comfy pair of shoes with you on holiday.  The sun is shining and you and your shoes get to go do so many of the things you do at home; everything is so familiar and comfortable.
And then it rains and you know those old shoes leak all the time. Thankfully though your wife also packed a new pair of shoes, in a style just like your old faithful ones. You still get to walk around and when the rain has stopped you check out your reflection in the puddles on the ground, things just look the same, but newer and shinier. 
Luckily those old shoes toughened up your feet over the years. These new ones are causing you pain and strife as you walk, trying to break them in. You are thankful for the years and experiences gained with the old shoes."
