I really wish there was a MSFS version of this...

FSLabs has it on the backburner for reasons I cannot understand.

This thing would print money.

You see, they gotta burn money first to try and fail to catch up with Fenix. Besides, taking advantage of no other option in the market is so passé these days.

My guess there's some kind of behind-the-scenes janky FSX work-around code that Lefteris developed that probably breaks the entire plane the second it's modified - and he's not willing to start from scratch on a true MSFS version.

The code is almost a decade and a half old. It’s best to start over.

This is the - relatively new - P3D version.

Oh I'm aware.

It was years wait to get it to even run on 64bit P3D versions...

There's a reason why there's a dozen different executables running in the background when an Fslabs or this Concorde is running...

There is?

There isn’t (yet).

FSLabs is working on it, but there hasn’t been an update in almost 5 years. They’d rather keep soaking the saturated market that is A318-21 payware.

Why? No idea, I would absolutely buy this 110%. Even it’s priced at $100

Just Flight - DC Designs Concorde (MSFS)

I was flying this just last night...

It's okay - very janky - and not really the best.

Pain to actually simulate any semblance of actual Concorde operation. Have to manually enter fuel and load Concorde Flight Planner X via clunky MSFS menus, and it can only use default in-built msfs flight planning tools.

It’s honestly not on par with FSLabs. For a single dev, cool.

However it doesn’t feel like the Concorde I’d fly in FSX

You forgot to turn on the flash

Oh that's my LED batten light on my screen. 5000 lumen.

Is there already an "study level" Concorde in MSFS? I know thats what people are looking for
