Pierre Chassang - the French author of Concorde Performance System X - has retired and ceased work on CPS-X. This is the definitive utility for planning your flights with FSLabs Concorde-X. Formerly donation-ware, it's now free to all FS Labs Concorde pilots. A comprehensive user manual (in French and English) is included in the package. It is only compatible with 32-bit FSX and P3D v1,2 and 3. It is not known whether it will be compatible with a 64-bit Concorde-X but given the relatively simple nature of the data used there's a reasonable chance it will. Whilst it has only been uploaded to the P3D Utilities section in the AvSim Library the same version can be used in FSX (all editions). It's available on this link. https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=205930 -
I've had the 32-bit Concorde for FSX and later P3D v3 on various computers for over 10 years. In all that time it has given me immense satisfaction - more than any other aircraft I have owned. But after years of development the 64-bit version is now very close. The last announcement from FSL suggested a Q1 2023 release. That leaves just over a month before I might be installing. I have to say "might" since we still have no confirmation of a release date. So I continue to fly the 32-bit version with all its drawbacks. But it's such a great flight model and a true reference aircraft I still gain a huge amount of pleasure flying it. Today's flight is Lisbon, Portugal to Grantley Adams, Barbados. I departed at 12:24Z and will be arriving around 15:40Z. 3,111 nm in under 4 hours. Here's a couple of screenshots. First is the FE panel showing the state as tanks 9 and 10 are empty and I'm about to pump from the two wing tip tanks into 5 and 7. All the switches work and I'm handling it manually. A Virtual FE option is available which I used for several years. The second shot from outside shows the ramps lowered to reduce the speed of air entering the engines. Computer controlled and without them supersonic flight would have been impossible. Resolution is not optimum as I have to run at 1920*1080 on a 4K monitor. The days of doing that are hopefully numbered. Thanks for over 10 years of great service.

FS Labs have finally announced that the “unpaused” 64-bit Concorde will be developed for LM P3D v4 and v5. It is extremely welcome news that v4 will have a version as that is still used by many of us. No release dates but this announcement will be welcomed by all those who have been waiting patiently. The announcement is included in this Airbus update post.. https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/27106-a319-x-a320-x-a321-x-update-v501114-now-available/
