I’ve asked the question in their forum. No responses yet. https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/topic/51411-bristol-flight-sim-show-fs-labs-not-attending/?do=getLastComment

Understood. I’ll leave management to confirm it’s okay to stay as it is.

@McCrackenAir , please clarify the financial status of this product. Users seem unsure what it is especially when you use "excellent freeware" tag in your original post.

Gents, a gentle reminder that it’s not necessary to quote a full post when replying. Just copy and paste the relevant section. This topic would be half the number of pages if that was done. 😉 When you select a block of text a prompt appears (Quote selection) making it easy peasy. 😁

@Targuy13 , please use English in AvSim. I’ve run your post through a translator.

@Pitter , their website has been down for a few days. They should be back soon. When they do I suggest you save the download so you’re not dependent on them.

Send me your email address in an PM and I’ll give you the links to client and server.

As someone who has been using the TQ for well over a year I can testify to its quality. No spiking when moved unlike that horrible but cheap Saitek TQ. Ability to adjust the tension is very useful. And having it angled to match the throttles in real aircraft makes it very easy to control even when flying aircraft with four engines like Concorde. I hope all of you waiting patiently don’t have to wait too long. 👍

@Baz_Aus , do you need the installation file or not? Regarding Aivlasoft, it was developed by a single person and once sales dried up it was too expensive to keep the site running. Urs suggested to me that users would still be able to reinstall EFB should it be necessary.

Understood Glen. Hope you find something suitable. 👍

@Kaiii3 , was it a hostile attack or just bad luck? Good to see the site running again. 👍

@GAJ52 , it’s been a long time since I used a joystick but always thought Thrustmaster was a decent company. https://www.thrustmaster.com/en-gb/products/hotas-warthog-ava-edition/

I don’t, sorry.😢 I’m not convinced it will ever appear for MSFS. Could be wrong if course but whenever Lefteris make announcements it’s never mentioned. An extremely complex aircraft that took years to arrive for P3D. Initially for v4 but later changed for v5 only.

Some progress…

Do you have the FSL Concorde for P3Dv5? It looks nothing like that to me.

Firstly, be aware no one in the UK can see your embedded image due to UK data laws. Other hosting sites are available. Whether the FS Labs Concorde lacks the visual accuracy of other developers is of little interest to me. What is important is the accuracy of the flight model and nothing comes close to theirs. I’ve no idea what you mean by “basic ambient occlusion maps”.

I posted because Sky Pilot’s post reminded me of that discussion. The view is just sea and sky with the clouds way below my aircraft. But both MSFS and XP don’t have a very accurate Concorde so what you might gain with one sim you lose with the other.

@fzike , that's the message I'm seeing. I'm hoping for some info on when they might be running again.

Ian, what did you enter in the Email field? That should contain your Activation Key minus any hyphens.

I got lambasted a few years ago for daring to suggest that. 😁 Being a fan of Concorde it flies at an altitude of 28,000ft subsonically before the reheats are engaged when it climbs up to FL530-600 at Mach 2. If you’re going to follow procedures correctly you wouldn’t go supersonic until clear of populated areas. I’m still wondering how different the view would look of the North Atlantic 11 miles up and above all weather in any of the three main sims. Not much is my guess. 😉

@Baz_Aus , do you still have your product key? I have the installation file.

The AIG forum has been down for over two weeks. The only info is available on Discord. I haven’t registered with that platform. If @Kaiii3 could give an update here please I’m sure many would appreciate it.

This was part of my discussion with Navigraph staff back in April 2023. Their policy is very clear.

It’s certainly a questionable practice. Best word to describe it? Underhand. 🤨

Several years ago I received an email from Navigraph saying my subscription was going to be enhanced. In short, AIRAC subscriptions were being ended and we’ll all be moved to the Unlimited subscription at a greatly increased cost. I and several others complained vigorously because I had no need for Charts as I used Aivlasoft EFB which gave me all I needed. Navigraph backed down and to this day continue to charge me only for an AIRAC subscription. I did point out to them at the time that an AIRAC subscription wasn’t visible on their website. It seems that is still the case. In that case you need to create a topic asking why an AIRAC subscription isn’t available. Their reply will be interesting. Good luck!
