The Concorde will take flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator on March 30
After a long run of various development updates and in-progress screenshots, DC Designs’ highly anticipated Concorde project is nearing its full release.

DC Designs is promising a complex package that will be sure to do the Concorde some justice when it launches in Microsoft Flight Simulator at the end of March.
As the product description over on Just Flight mentions, “this version of Concorde has been the subject of intense study, with both the flight deck and exterior models built with reference to hundreds of-resolution images…” In other words, customers can be sure that great detail has been put into the model both inside and out.

The DC Designs team has painstakingly modeled, animated and provided functionality for “literally every single switch, button, dial and knob.” This will be a very hands-on experience, as even the engineer’s station “will require monitoring during flight to ensure safe and successful operation of the aircraft.”
As advanced as the Concorde was, it was still built long before the highly-advanced avionics that modern aircraft possess became standard, thus the need for two pilots to fly the jet and a third crewman to monitor and control its various systems. DC Designs’ Concorde for Microsoft Flight Simulator features high-res textures both inside and out, clean animations, and even an attention-to-detail in the performance department to make easier for most systems to handle it.
