🤣 Thanks Chris. Nothing would have given me more pleasure than bringing my computer and flying Concorde in P3D. But time stops for no man and it’s just too much effort now. 😟

Their forum is currently offline so I’m guessing that’s impacting on any flight plans. They should be back in a couple of days.

I’m afraid not Chris. Unlike Cosford I’m using a sim none of the exhibitors will use. It’s too far to go just to meet a few who post on AvSim. I have all the hardware I need - Fulcrum - and sadly Chris won’t be going as far as I can establish. Certainly not as an exhibitor which would have been quite lucrative for him I would have thought. NWFSG led by Adrian Pheasley will be there with a landing challenge on their computers. Hope you and the rest enjoy it.

I wonder how many of you have the FS Labs Airbuses. I imagine quite a few and therefore would have enjoyed chatting to their staff. So their absence is baffling.

@srcooke and @vonmar , thank you both. I don’t have their Airbus so I’m unaware that different weather sources can be selected. That option doesn’t exist for Concorde. Once this problem is fixed it might be helpful if they could explain why no alternative weather can be used. In fact I was unaware the process accessed NOAA. The issue regarding Stephen’s invisible post has been reported to admin.

Topic closed on request of the author.

I raised a ticket with them and until I’m informed it’s fixed Concorde is unusable. What alternative sources are available? I really don’t know why they use NOAA when users have their own weather program. ASP3D in my case.

It might just be a coincidence but AIG site is down and forum won’t be back for a few days. And FS Labs aircraft cannot file a plan as there are problems with NOAA weather site.

None more so as far as this user is concerned than the best Concorde available for any of the three main sims. The offering by FS Labs for P3Dv5 beats the competition even if the development team are probably the worst when it comes to communication.

You’re unlikely to get an answer as the poster hasn’t visited AvSim in over 4 years.

Well you’re contradicting yourself there fluffy because you said it’s never the software, always the user. Yes, I’ve posted about issues but the one where Couatl was constantly crashing was due to a texture file at one airport, not the program itself. Overall bugs get fixed and remember, no charge is made for all the new features.

If that’s the case why does @virtuali release so many new versions with bug fixes? You couldn’t be more wrong.

Only the author can answer that question.

The result of unintended consequences. It’s a reality that isn’t going to go away for the foreseeable future. Anyway, given I don’t have MSFS this software is of no interest to me. I simply responded to what skills are required to create a worthy ATC program. If Ai is the answer so be it.

But where do you draw the line? We have these huge data centres being built all around Britain blighting the countryside. The price of RAM and GPUs has gone through the roof because of it. It may mean many potential simmers are priced out of buying a PC to use the software in this topic.
