Concorde Simulator on TV gameshow

Contestants has to fly the final approach and landing using the flight director...very few made it to the runway!

[@bwlboy123]

There was one classic flight which is not on this compilation that I vividly recall because I fell off the chair laughing. Someone managed to crash upside down in the sea over 2 miles away from the runway.

can you remember what series or year that was

9:30 Haha! Wow! Imagine being so bad that the captain has to take the controls to prevent you from actually killing them in a simulator.

[@javiergomez9970]

The concorde is a VERY hard plane to land. No wonder most of these contestants crashed.

Do you still have the full episodes of these?

I wonder if they added the factor that hong kong airport is on the ocean and has a bad cross wind I did see many of the players off to the left of the runway ..another thing is if you have a failed decent could you not throttle back up and go around again?

[@legoferrari14]

freakyflow After the practice runs they're only allowed one shot, and the loud thump from most of these landings is because the plane has crashlanded (and would in the real world never fly again)

[@WinstonSmith685]

This was the runway 31 approach over the bay. It could have been worse, they could have made them fly the runway 13 approach from the other end, and make the Checkerboard hill turn.

Why was Duncan Heryett's first on this? U had the other 3 grand finalists.

[@MrJJLincoln90]

If memory serves me correctly, Duncan's flight was the most disastrous in the show's history so a shame it's not here.

[@MrJJLincoln90]

@@pauljohnleadbeater5533 If I remember correctly, he was still a consistently strong performer getting 10 points in at least 2 rounds of all 3 of the episodes he was in and made it through on two tie break questions (winning the first and losing the second though it was just enough to get him highest scoring runner up).

13:30 shouldve been a crash....landed about 100 feet short of the runway.

[@ianbailey3924]

I need to understand how they were making simulations better than the ps5 can produce in the 90s.... it used to blow me away then.. shit

[@clickbaittheproto4672]

I'm not sure if it was the one used here, but when the Concorde was introduced in the 70s, they had a special-built simulator for it. It used a physical, hand-built diorama of an airport and the surrounding landscape. A cctv camera mounted on a motorized arm and the footage was projected outside the fake cockpit. This was just for takeoff/landing, though. Once the simulator was up in the air, the screens turned off and you were expected to fly by instrument. Anyways, the analog simulators fell out of favor in the mid-90s, as fully computer-based options were cheaper and more abundant.

i used to fly Concorde, its not any real harder than any other plane.

How many hours flight time do you have? the contestants here are not anywhere as experienced as you are

@@Fcutdlady i had an estimated 21,000 hours when i retired in 2000. I quit logging flight time in 1978.

These people probably drive cars on public roads like they have flown here - not a clue, no hand eye skills, but drive an expensive car like like an unskilled loonatic on roads. Scary.
