I believe FSLabs Concorde too, and with luck, their full line of airbuses 🙂

It came as an unpleasant surprise to read in a topic there on Saturday that attention has switched from fixing bugs in the P3Dv5 version to MSFS.

No announcement. It just came out of the blue after someone asked why there hadn’t been any updates for a couple of months.

All good.  So sad it is mostly modern stuff though.  I would love the B737-200, B727, B707, DC-8, DC-9, DC-10, Tristar.  Some Convair props and jets wouldn't go amiss either.

And then there is all the stuff from my neck of the woods as well - VC-10, BAC1-11, HS748, Comet.  Also the French Caravelle and Mercure would be really interesting.

I love all of this kind of stuff.  I suppose it is not too interesting for the Xbox kids though.

I think Blackbird Simulations (formerly Milviz) is working on a B737-200 for MSFS: https://fselite.net/content/milviz-gives-a-brief-update-on-737-200-for-msfs-development/

....and Raul (FSReborn) is intending to develop a Boeing 727 after he has done the Phenom 300. That is some way down the line though.

This one will be a day-one purchase for me, not only because I grew up watching them with Avianca, Sam, Aces, American back in the days, but also because of Raul dedication for top-notch products

The alluring specter of dropping into the MSFS market is much too overwhelming, even for FSL who's been P3d focused despite the fact its not the market of choice for the majority of simmers.

 I can almost guarantee that in those months of silence, not one minute on developer time was put to P3d bug fixing, rather trying to get the Concorde into MSFS.  They are probably now just seeing how far behind they are, even with the full steam efforts to grasp the completely different coding they have to deal with now.

This is similar to what Captain Sim did...working on a rather good P3d 767, promising to keep developing and refining, in addition to releasing a highly anticipated freighter...making not one peep over many months on the progress of fixes or the freighter.  Then one day just announcing their 1st MSFS product.  Since then, they released the freighter as a pax model with a painted-on main cargo door, and not one version-update to the base 767 since.  Don't even ask about their comical attempt to bring the 737 model past a late beta stage, despite all their promises.  

They still won't admit that P3d work for them is dead, but then again they never were good at communicating things like that.

Ray, you're going to have to move to MSFS if you want to see a truly revolutionary Concorde in a flightsim, as FSL has sadly just announced .   Don't worry, you have a lot of simmers here willing to help you through the transition. 🙂   Unless they address the P3d bugs as an afterthought...You have the final, complete, and "finished" version of the P3d Concorde on your PC. 😞

I do feel your pain, but I guess for most simmers that is very good news. It was a strange business decision to prioritize the P3D release in the first place. It would be great to see FSLabs coming to MSFS.

It was released in late August. We had around three updates for bug fixes with the last in early November. The biggest complaint was about performance. Very low fps. The remaining bugs are nothing serious as far as I’m concerned. I can live with them probably because I have a computer that can handle anything with the fps locked at 30.

That’s not going to happen Steve as I’m content with performance in P3D. And of course it has third-party weather support for flights from far-away airports.

Regarding help, the boot might be on the other foot. MSFS pilots new to Concorde requiring help on how to fly her correctly. 😉

No clues when it will be released. That’s standard for FSL.

That’s debatable given most simmers won’t touch her. Many won’t bother with an aircraft no longer flying and others will look at the flight deck with all those analogue gauges and run a mile.

I suspect the market is big enough to support the golden oldies.

At some point in the not too distant future an example of all current commercial airliners will be available for this sim. Devs will have to have some imagination at that point….

Edit; also suspect we’ll be flying Raul’s 727 before a Milviz 737 too…

Although I don't think FSL Concorde will sell copies like a more modern plane would, I do think it will still sell a decent amount. I would predict they would sell more copies in MSFS, then they ever did in P3D. The MSFS market is so much bigger. Even if only 5 percent buy it. Of course, this is only my opinion.  Only time will tell.

It will be a day one purchase for me. (And I also purchased the P3d version).

Yes. I believe one of the developers of a biz jet released recently said they were overwhelmed as the sales were between 10 and 20 times more than expected.

If they release the Concorde, they will make money off it.

Wuaw 4 years after release they slowly catch up and will bring planes we had since years in „older“ sims..at least the most part of them. A bit late for me but it is for sure a good thing for MSFS-users who missed all this planes during so many years.

I trust those buying for the first time will be patient and follow the extensive instructions in the tutorial. Whilst many actions are now performed by the First Officer and FE there are several needing the captain’s action. That’s you, the user. Nothing progresses until you do what’s required in several checklists.

It’s a very different animal to the 32-bit version and nothing like flying a Boeing or Airbus.
