I've Mastered Concorde Systems – Ready to Dominate FSLabs When It Hits MSFS!

https://youtu.be/6ui5vftfLVg?si=Tnq-n-8KfEdbMQg8

Want the unfair advantage to truly master Concorde's legendary systems – especially fuel ballasting and CG management – before FSLabs finally brings their ultra-detailed Concorde to Microsoft Flight Simulator?

This single video is your complete pro-level masterclass: I single-handedly fly all three cockpit roles (Captain, Co-Pilot, and Flight Engineer) with intuitive yet rigorous depth that goes far beyond typical tutorials.

Unlike most Concorde videos, I demonstrate real-world fuel ballasting tricks for supersonic flight – precise aft CG shifts, lateral balancing, and more – giving you the edge to dominate when FSLabs arrives.

As a mission-focused tribute, I've recreated Concorde's historic final flight (26 November 2003 – G-BOAF's emotional farewell from Heathrow to Filton), 22 years on.

 

Yes, I'm late I know but indepth tutorials take some things take time to get right !

 

Minor sim adaptations (Filton closed in 2012)

 

This dives deeper than any other video:

 

Full supersonic acceleration & reheat takeoffs

Droop nose/visor operations

Intake ramps, autopilot modes, FE panel mastery

Emotional farewell path with real vibes

Feedback welcome – especially from Concorde veterans gearing up for FSLabs!

Fly fast,

Joshua757

You might forget everything by the time it gets released. Those guys are slooooooooooow. 

@Joshua757, I hate to rain on your parade but assuming the MSFS version is identical to the P3Dv5 one the user has very limited control over the VFE panel. Every aspect is controlled by him and user involvement is discouraged.

This is very different to the 32-bit version for FSX / P3D up to v3. In that version you could hand over various aspects of the systems or try things yourself. I eventually learnt fuel management and it was very rewarding.

There is no option in the 64-bit version to handle fuel management yourself. But the scripts that run together with cockpit voices do give it a tremendous amount of realism.

There’s no indication of when it will be released. Frustrating but that’s how they work. The upside is it’s the most accurate Concorde for flight sim ever made.

PS. There’s a typo. Change ballasting to balancing. 😉

If we get the Concorde.  
 

I’ve seen glaciers move faster than FSLabs.

But Ray, I was told revenue for MSFS was 400% higher in just the first month than P3D all year ... are you saying this is not true? 😉 hehe

Yeah, not sure what the deal is with the owner and developer at FSLabs ... today's adventure trying to get to their forum?

Yeah, no thanks.  If we're gonna get a quality Concorde, I don't think it will be from FSLabs.

I wish they had focused on the Concorde first rather than the A32x. AFAIK, this was the last time they mentioned they're working on the Concorde for MSFS (at the bottom) in August 2023: https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/topic/32991-flight-sim-labs-concorde-now-released/ , not sure if they've since mentioned anything about it... and I guess remains to be seen when they'll release it, given their glacial pace 😅

 

And lastly - we cannot wait to start showing more previews on what we've also been working on  For anyone waiting for that version - we are going to be offering a discount to all our loyal P3Dv5 Concorde customers once that product is available in the future!

I’m guessing the problem is the continuous shifting sands of MSFS24. It must be an absolute pain trying to make a complex aircraft work in it. I’m sure it will sell well.

I access their forum via Firefox in Windows and Safari on my iPad. Never seen that screen. Weird.

The only other version is by JustFlight and they admit it’s not fully modelled. Why don’t you install P3Dv5 and buy the FSL one? Price is reasonable and with a few tweaks flies very well. 😁

I’ll even help you if you’re struggling with some aspects. Been flying it for around 20 years now. 😁

Glaciers are fast compared to FSL development. No further announcements I’m afraid.

I admire (New Member) Joshua’s excitement for the Concorde.

Indeed, what a wonderful (and unique) a/c the FSLabs Concorde was…to fly in our SIM! I vividly recall that climactic moment of breaking through the Mach 2 speed limit (wasn’t always successful…🙂…), with afterburners and all…!

However, I am not holding my breath here in MSFS for it appear from FSLabs, but who knows…they are always so minimalist in providing progress updates…

Cheers…!

There is - i found a fix. Just don't right click the ground call button. In the video, I manage the FE panel all by myself. Don't believe me? Why not give it a watch  😏

At least we know it actually exists!!!!

Interesting. 😁 I will. That command calls the catering and fuel trucks plus much, much more. It will be interesting to see how you handle that aspect.

Thanks. I promise, I have full authority of all the systems. I don't let the flight Engineer do anything haha.

Hi, did someone from FSLabs say this? So FSLabs made more money from the sales of the A321 CEO for MSFS in the first month of sales, than the entire year for P3D in the first year of sales of their A321 CEO for P3D?

Does anybody have a link or a screenshot of what the FSLabs employee actually said?
