FS Magazin granted the Concorde-X for FSX their five-star “Editor’s Choice” award in their June edition. You can read the review (in German) if you purchase this month’s magazine. Here’s some (translated) bits of what the reviewer had to say:

“Flight Sim Labs have a delivered a near perfect entry to the markets as an Aircraft Design company. The Concorde-X was very carefully programmed and  even the smallest items were not left out or ignored. With precision and extreme attention to detail, the FSLabs team has catapulted themselves right from the start … to the top of airliner developers for Flight Simulator X…

…our full recommendation and the Editor’s Choice for the Concorde-X”.

Following the March 2010 release of the highly acclaimed Concorde-X, we are very pleased to announce our next project will be the A320 commercial jet airliner.  The A320, currently under development, will be the first release of FSLabs’ “A3xx Master Series” line of products for Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

The Dutch site FSVisions posted a very comprehensive review of the Concorde-X. Angelique Van Campen, also known for her work as senior staff reviewer for AVSIM, .

While the review is in Dutch, we can trust the Google translator to read a bit of what Angelique had to say:

…I argue that the VC has stolen my heart but it’s not only because there is also an abridged virtual cabin. Writing deliberately simplified virtual cabin because the front edge of the cabin is simulated. Notable are the small cabin windows and striking an information board for the passengers, among others, which displays altitude and speed…

…It is useful to note that the tutorial has a lot of additional information and is is therefore almost a POH (Pilot’s Operating Handbook). It is clearly defined what and when to do something. In the Concorde, try not to use your head, because that is all too real for simulation – or in other words, to perfection!

…I notice the sounds of buttons, knobs and switches are very realistic. For example, when using the AFCS (Auto Flight Control System) and select a new altitude, you could close your eyes while you turn the knob, it really sounds just like the real Concorde…

FlightSimulatorXWorld reviewed the Concorde-X on their web site, giving it their maximum four gold stars and rating it as a “Must Have”. Here’s some tidbits from what Lars and Ole had to say in their review:

I was sure, when I first got this aircraft for reviewing, that I would use it for the review, but probably not much more, as I like the ease and calm of the slower planes in FSX. It relaxes me, and the idea of a plane flying a close to Mach 2, just didn’t feel like something I would like too much. But I have changed my mind. Not because of the speed, but in spite of the speed. The plane is beautiful, and the systems, animations, and possibilities are just too good to not use. Yes, Lars, the Concorde finally found its way into FSX, and it did it, not with a whimper, but with a bang. Just like the real world Concorde always made an impression, so does this version from Flight Sim Labs”.

Thank you, FlightSimulatorXWorld, for your very thorough and accurate review!

British Airways Virtual reviewed the Concorde-X for FSX in their April “Airways“ magazine issue, giving it their Golden Wings Award for its attention to detail and realism. Here’s an excerpt from the review:

“Flight Sim Labs have created a model which is detailed and realistic. The sleek curves of Concorde are expertly modeled to allow the Pilot to experience the visual beauty of this most unique of all aircraft within FSX.

All the systems are there for an immersive experience in operating Concorde X like the pro’s. Along with the true-to life sounds, in the VC the Virtual Pilot can have the experience of virtually “being there.”

With realistic flight dynamics, learning to fly Concorde has never been as complex or as enjoyable within MSFS. Even the novice can enjoy learning on this aircraft due to the
helpful Virtual Flight Engineer.

For the complexity and attention to detail shown on Concorde-X, it really is good value for money and Flight Sim Labs have made a high-end add-on as good as, if not slightly better than, anything else available today.

Concorde-X is a must for all Virtual Pilots”.

The long-awaited new product from Flight Sim Labs, has been released and is now available for electronic purchase and download!

Offering the *easiest-to-fly* but also *most complete* Concorde aircraft simulation ever to be produced for a desktop flight simulator, the Concorde-X has arrived to set new standards with its amazingly accurate systems, stunning photo-realistic 2d graphics, vigorously detailed external model and virtual cockpit, and a fully immersive three-dimensional sound experience!
