Concorde

[BAW339]

To everyone who interested in flying this supersonic bird

Tomorrow, 10.10.2005 will be released SSTSIM Concorde Version 3.

Initial two versions was published by Koch Media and decision was made to cease further development support by Koch Media.

Concorde team continued to polish their creation and after almost a year in development will be releasing final V3 for FS2004. All further versions will be developed for next FS.

This one simulates Concorde flight to maximum extent possible within FS2004 environment. Most systems, excellent visual model, developed with help of real Concorde pilots, Test pilots, etc

If you interested in flying the bird, Flight1 is the publisher and SSTSIM website is www.sstsim.com

Download size is 282mb.

Enjoy!

If you can, perhaps a word or two about it....

I'm not quite familiar with that addon. it looks interesting but I'll appreciate a list of pros and cons from a user.

maybe you can expend a little on its FDEand autopilot (it seems to be using the default AP)

thanx!!

Looks like a great addon to me.

I dont really flying with the concords i prefer beings and airbus

but it worth to try it.

looks like they worked hard on the model.

if somebody will buy it. plz let us know how is it.

Well, pros of the add-on is highest level of quality, very high standards of development, excellent support of the team.

It is aircraft that it not easy to handle, with its very fast takeoff/landing speeds and very special way Concorde fly. Developers did excellent job in FDE, as Concorde pilot were saying it is quite close to real thing.

Behavior of the aircraft on the ground and in air mirrors the real one to the full limit of FS2004.

Autopilot is a depiction of real Concorde autopilot, nothing too complex but a little different then what we used to.

Sounds are excellent. When you engage reheaters you actually feel the power of these 4 high powered engines that kick you to Mach 2.02 cruise speed.

Cons of the aircraft , i don't know if its bad but it isn't forgive mistakes. You can be enroute, accelerating, on approach to your destination and do something not exactly you should or forget to push some buttons... you'll be finding yourself on the ground crashed sooner then you'll be able to react.

Another setback that it can take up to two weeks to actually learn how to fly it without going down every flight. :mrgreen:

If to compare it to Level-D or PMDG, its a little bit hard to compare due to Concorde very different ways of flight and general difference in most of the systems, but anyway my personal opinion is that SSTSIM Concorde is the most advanced add-on for FS2004 exist on the market.

When you learn how to fly it any other add-on for FS2004 is nothing more then easy, quiet, slow, peaceful Cessna.

I'm very much like it and enjoy it. Was waiting for this V3, not flying V2 since the announcement of V3. Now mastering it offline, many new improvements and it is in general better and harder to master then all other add-ons.

However, it is not recommended to novice pilots. It is virtually impossible to fly for a novice. Developers also not recommend this one to a novice or casual pilots.

Hi Alex,

Sounds very interesting indeed!, thanx for the detailed post.

Just one more thing...

Any bugs or shortcuts in system modelling?

I guess some issues needed to be rectified if a version 3 was required?

Thanks again

גרסא 3 היא בעצם תיקון איןספור באגים של 2 ו1 כמדומני.

אני מקווה שגם שם אין

Version 3 was intended initially as a fix for all the bugs in V2, but during development it was decided to add new features, rewrite the model etc.

So basically V3 is a new aircraft being extensively tested by Concorde real pilots. It have more features and better designed then any other add-on for FS i know of.

Of course it have bugs and shortcuts. The add-on is too complex not to have bugs or shortcuts.

However, i haven't saw any of the bugs yet. :mrgreen:

The joy and fun of flying it is priceless :mrgreen:
