In a rather unusual announcement on Facebook, Flight Sim Labs has made a plea to the community: if you want to see Concorde grace the virtual skies one last time, then let us know!

The team are extremely passionate about bringing the supersonic jet to flight sim and want to see it one last time in a modern simming environment. To make sure it’s suitable for today’s market, they will be looking to update it with a brand new virtual cockpit, dynamic lighting, an all new sound set, weather radar, improved external texturing and much more. Of course, it will be fully compatible with the P3DV4 SD.

Flight Sim Labs are estimating that the cost back to the community for developing Concorde in the 64-bit environment will around $100.

However, this post isn’t confirmation that this is going to happen. Instead, it’s to gauge the level of interest from the community. To show your support, you’ll need to write the team an email.

Send the email to [email protected] with the subject “I will buy the Concorde on P3D V4!”. Then make sure you include your full name, age and tell us that you will support the idea.

So if you really want to see Concorde grace the skies one last time, then let them know. The entire FSElite team will be – shall you?

Here’s the list of anticipated updates to Concorde.

New Virtual Cockpit

New cockpit model built with the Prepar3D V4 SDK

New high-resolution textures

Complete 3D engineers station

Both British Airways and Air France variants

Full dynamic light integration with FSLSpotlights v2

True Dynamic Lighting – a system developed for the A32X Series that varies the intensity of the light depending on environmental conditions and time of day (or night).

Cabin PA sound sets for both British Airways and Air France

Concorde Weather Radar integrated with Active Sky

Utilization of our Jet Engine Simulation program to simulate the Olympus 593’s more accurately in every phase of flight – developed for the A32X Series
