My uncle was Concorde Captain flying in the 1980s. I saw him years ago before he died. He said "Now I watch them flying up there in the sky and it all seems like a dream." Anyway, I've downloaded it and it's ready for me to hit the Start a new flight button. I feel a bit nervous! Will be so great to see what he did.

[@ConcordeFan]

2:03:09 Yes it does, and they work. Knobs are located to the right of the throttles

[@darrenfaux4882]

Thank you

[@obama8918]

You know its going to be a good video when he pulls out ms paint

[@pillow-pilot]

😅

[@antoniomaruge8218]

Awesome video tutorial. I just got this plane a couple of days and it’s kicking my butt.

[@georgeskinner9655]

29:11 could be wrong but I’m fairly certain “Engine 4 TO Limiter- 88%” means you check that the switch on the engineers panel under recirc valves is set to 88%. Nothing to do with the little flap showing 4 instead of 3.

[@pillow-pilot]

My bad entirely, you are completely correct

[@cptbrtcz]

Hello, thanks for the tutorial, it really helped me learn the aircraft 👍 For the landing speed tho, do I have to follow the green needle on the speedometer?

[@pillow-pilot]

Yeah so the green is for your approach speed and then yellow is touchdown speed. Red being a low landing speed 👍

[@cptbrtcz]

@@pillow-pilot thanks...well I always pitch up too much after passing like 50 feet and stall out 😭

[@patrickdeng5781]

Can you add a link to the add-ons you are using in the video please. Thx

[@Rhinozherous]

Awesome, brandnew V3 and already a tutorial! Thank you very much!

[@pillow-pilot]

Already seen somthing I missed. The engines need to be in Flyover rating before takeoff and go to normal at 50,000ft The dial in on engineers panel top left. It has flyover, normal and approach settings

[@dennisShepp]

Concorde 3.5 released today at a discount - your video is FANTASTIC - thank you!! Have you upgraded to 3.5 yet, your thoughts, please? Dennis

[@toddadale]

Wonderfully done Mate... Cheers!

[@llb2899]

Btw you mold have flown an arrival into jfk… unless it specifies that it is rnav1 you can just fly the vors…

[@Bearviation]

I don’t recall which video it was that was a cacophony of sound, but THIS is a great tutorial! I much prefer being able to use the Phillips CIVA but we can’t have everything, right? Have you done a video tutorial about position reports and what is needed? Actually, it may be in this one and I’ve not come across it get. My goal is to fly this transatlantic on VATSIM sometime soon. Thank you for this! ❤

[@pillow-pilot]

Brilliant, good luck - I love this plane 😁

[@swiftbird4846]

Fantastic video, hugely insightful.

[@lobotomy_office]

Could you please be so kind and clarify what is the Concorde gate in EGLL and in KJFK?

[@pillow-pilot]

@@lobotomy_office yeah, at Heathrow it is 421 or 419. At JFK it is 1,2,3 at Terminal 7.

[@lobotomy_office]

@pillow-pilot thank you, Sir

[@HoriaArabul]

14:06 these switches are flipping back, can you tell me why?

[@pillow-pilot]

that can be because you have missed somthing previously, but may be a simple error sometimes - maybe try to reload the sim?

[@flip-da-loop]

xp12 is looking good, but can you load aircraft with engines running as in xp11? I am not so good with my fingers these days.

[@pillow-pilot]

🙂 Yes, just the same as xplane 11

[@flip-da-loop]

@@pillow-pilot thank you.

[@pierrechassang6922]

Excellent canarsie approach !!!👍👍👍

[@ROsteveification]

Not sure if you'll see this, but how did you calculate your Top of Descent? Standard formula of Cruise - Destination Alt / 1.000 X 3 or is there someplace in this aircraft that'll tell you? That's really all that's holding me back on this plane. Thank you so much!

[@pillow-pilot]

Hello, good question. The rough rule is begin at 200 miles/220 miles out. It's really a judgment call and so I haven't seen a calculation for it before. Hope that helps

[@ROsteveification]

@@pillow-pilot Thanks for the swift response! Will give that a try.

[@samuelsmith2112]

How do you like this compared to Just Flight Concorde for MSFS and the previous Colimate Concorde What about X plane 12 compared to MSFS

[@pillow-pilot]

Good question. When flying the V3 in xp12 I very much get the feeling of being in msfs and yet the systems especially in Concorde are so detailed and feel more accurate. I have all 3 sims and I find that I leak towards Xp11 the most, Msfs has a clunky interface that I just can't get round, xp12 feels quite unstable and V3 as good as it is feels a bit more game like compared to V2. Just my thoughts what about yoh5

[@franckcagnes6370]

@@pillow-pilot you will get used to the interface, maybe what you don't like is the camera system etc.. What if I told you, it can be the same as xplane, you would probably like it better.

[@pillow-pilot]

@@franckcagnes6370 ooo, sounds interesting I agree I think that probably is it

[@DeKarle1992]

Colimata Concorde is beyond anything the DC Designs Concorde will ever be 🏆

[@davewills6121]

@@DeKarle1992 Im not OCD by any stretch, yet the DC Designs Concorde is an insult to an iconic aircraft, its a scruffy, moth eaten disgrace, i wouldn't want it if it were FREE... and iti is of course. Am buying the Colimata Concorde V3 for XP12, its gorgeous and heavily detailed, wonderful example.

[@genjijr.9937]

Prefers the colimata concorde over the JF one as its more realistic, but the engine is way too powerful in my POV. In supercruise it can easily shot up to 2.05 at full throttle settings at 55000 to 58000 so I had to manually control the throttle to keep it within 2.02

[@Aviator_Outlaw]

Can't get authrottle, autopilot, or flight directors to work. Followed this vid step by step and been through the manual about a dozen times now and cant find the issue. The autothrottle light just blinks, but the autopilot light does stay solid when i flip it on, just doesn't actually have any control inputs

[@pillow-pilot]

Mmm. Are your hardware controls moving?

[@christhenademan13]

There is no need to DME Update the INS correct i always screwed up my entire flight because of that. (Phillp's CIVA Payware INS required you to do that)

Thanks for the video! How do you make this flight plan work on Vatsim if some of the waypoints are no longer part of the AIRAC cycle? Will the controllers still accept the plan? For example, simbrief calls out: Fix or airway "MALBY" not found. Fix or airway "KESUP" not found. Fix or airway "MERLY" not found.

[@pillow-pilot]

Yeah, on the SImbrief airac you can select older ones and then it should find the waypoints. With Vatsim,.for the Concorde they accept the older waypoints because it was Concordes route and so they make an acception 👍 Hope that helps

@@pillow-pilot Cheers, thanks! Good to know!

[@darrenfaux4882]

Watching your videos and finding them extremely helpful. Can I ask, does Concorde have windscreen wipers, silly question maybe? If so, where can I find the switch?

[@pillow-pilot]

Thankyou very much. Yes it does have windscreen wipers. I think they are on the pedestal to the right of the pilot - I know it has them but can't remember, maybe have a search above pilots head and on pedestal - hope that helps 👍

[@darrenfaux4882]

@@pillow-pilot Thx. Think I found them to the right of the nose lever

[@darrenfaux4882]

Found them to the right of the throttles, thx

[@darrenfaux4882]

actually they are to the right of the throttle levers :) thx again

[@brianthibault5929]

Silly question, but why input CPT VOR into INS out of London when you can tune the radio and navigate using HSI?

[@pillow-pilot]

No, good point. By inputting CPT I then have a route between CPT and waypoint 2 that fits with ATC routing. However, it also means I can work easier😁

Hi wonder if you can help when I go to night time my cockpit is bright green it's not night vision as tried that any button that turns that off please

No way would the engine parameters be all exactly the same in real world. There would be deviations in temps, fan speeds etc. Thnaks for the review but I will wait for FSLabs
