The long awaited supersonic Concorde jet-liner from Flight Sim Labs has been released for P3D V5.
The release comes just 6 days after the release candidate of the plane was pushed out to testers at the end of last week, and following over 3 years of development and marketing.
According to the company’s website, the Concorde for P3D pushes the boundaries of desktop flight simulation further than ever. It is built using a wholly new visual model, and brings an intriguing new virtual crew system (VCS) into the fore. The VCS will handle the roles of first office and flight engineer for you, meaning that you as the captain can focus on the flying.
The Concorde for P3D also includes a completely new sound set captured from the original Olympus 593 MKII engines sported by the Concorde. Authentic recordings from the aircraft’s final year of service have been obtained by the team to create the sound set, which includes the hum of gyroscopes, the constant whir of cooling fans, and the subtle undertones of electrical equipment powering the 1960s flight deck.
Also included in the sound set is a sound-cone simulation, which includes the iconic double boom as the aircraft flies at over 20 miles per minute, more than double the speed of sound.
For your $79.95USD (approximately €73 before taxes) you also get over 100 individually crafted Concorde routes to choose from, which are based on real-world data. The Flight Sim Labs team say that this will mean a “thrilling and educational” ride awaits simmers willing to take the plunge with this handful of an airplane.
The Concorde can be puchased on Flight Sim Labs’ website linked here. A full product description from the website is included below.
