FS2020: Concorde - Newbie Guide To Starting Her Up From Cold & Dark!

[@sax003]

Great job on the video! I really enjoyed it. The EPU switch on the checklist is not a mistake. The real Concorde needed ground power and air to get started. Before the pushback, they would start 2 and 3 to power up the generators. They would then disconnect ground power and air, and use bleed air to start 1 and 4 while the aircraft is getting pushed. By the time the push was done, all 4 were started. That's why the EPU switch seems out of place on the checklist.

Ah thanks for the clarification Larry.

[@sax003]

@@Huddison yes sir, no problem. :)

[@clearjet]

Came here to say the same...

Just downloaded this Concorde today, my wife and I were able to travel on this BA aircraft on 10 April (I think it was 2009) LON to NEW YORK, really great flight

[@Huddison]

Oh wow - I bet that cost a fair bit, but amazing to do!

[@thevirtualgoalie]

but the last flight was in 2003 not 2009

[@wombat10]

@@Huddison yes but it was worth it

[@wombat10]

@@thevirtualgoalie that why I said i think when i mentioned the date, the 1st of April was correct because I just looked at the Concorde ticket for that day

[@mikecoffee100]

some time ago I got to board a France version of the Concord in Seattle Washington State and take tour though it was a static display and no longer in flying condition. I was hoping to see the British Airways version but was still happy to see a Concord up and personal. I also used also watch it as sometimes British Airways and sometimes a France version would and come visit Vancouver BC Canada.

[@Huddison]

It was always a beautiful sight watching it land & depart from Heathrow twice a day.

Very helpful video from the very start of this amazing aircraft ! 👍 Thank you! 😊

[@Huddison]

Glad it was helpful & it is an incredible aircraft.

[@flightsoficarus]

Thanks for this. I'd been completely unable to find the LP puimps and aslo was flicking my stab switches in the wrong direction. The result being it wouldn't rotate and just plowed off the end of the runway at 220 knots. Still if you have FSRealistic running the screams are at least entertaining. 😂

Huddison you have peaked my interest in the Concorde..I have stayed away from airliners. Thinking of purchasing. Looking forward to the next video!..

[@Huddison]

I'm really enjoying my time with it Bob - well recommended.

[@taitthemate]

It’s a great challenge you will love it

[@musefan12345]

Very nicely explained. The checklist is a bit hit and miss like you said. I have a lot of add-on aircraft and it’s pretty much the same story when it comes to checklists. Not all developers utilise them but DC Designs seem to do a pretty good job. I think a lot of the problem has to do with sim limitations, and not the fault of the developers themselves.

[@Huddison]

That was brilliantly written. Yes, the checklists can be very hit or miss; thankfully this one seems well organised.

[@pm110978]

Thanks for the guide mate 👍

[@Huddison]

My pleasure

[@philipweems8609]

Thanks not purchase it yet,but looks great like you flying large jets are not my scene yet,but there will be a time. But the check list run through was very helpful, i looking forward to part 2

[@pm110978]

Yes can you do another video showing how you set up custom views for this aircraft.Thank You Sir 👍

[@Huddison]

OK, on my list 👍

[@taitthemate]

Great video

[@Huddison]

Thanks

How did you configured Thrust reverse on Velocity one controller for Concorde please?

[@Huddison]

I have a button on the front of my yoke set as 'Hold reverse thrust' (find it in Power management/Throttle)

[@PetrPodzimek]

@@Huddison I found that I you configure Detent Buttons for each Throttle it works. Trick is in On Press/On Release events. Decrease action must have On Press. And Cut action must have On Release.

[@Huddison]

@@PetrPodzimek excellent 👍

[@riflemusket]

Hello, Huddison. Did you ever watch Airport ‘79? 😝

[@Huddison]

Not sure I have - I'll look it up ;)

[@riflemusket]

@@Huddison the usual disaster B747 aircraft is a Concorde!

[@etsfan1863]

why didnt you make the rest of the flight on tutorials?? You made the only cocnorde tutorial i can understand

[@Huddison]

I also have a couple of 146 Professional tutorials on this channel.

[@taitthemate]

For the views I got a stream deck works well

[@harlequin991]

We’re is part 2?

[@Huddison]

In typical fashion, I got side-tracked and never get around to making Part 2 - I will aim to rectify this soon(ish).

[@harlequin991]
