The development team has made multiple and extensive visits to museum-exhibits to research the real preserved version of this iconic aircraft and that determined and thorough research is certainly apparent, not least in the fully animated exterior which includes detailed reproductions of parts such as the access doors, the engine inlet ramps, and the thrust-reverse buckets.
The iconic "nose droop" has been accurately recreated using custom coding, while both the interior and exterior have lifelike night lighting bringing this classic plane to life even more.
A fully 3D virtual cockpit is also included, with detailed texturing (PBR for P3D v4/5 only) and authentic and realistic controls. What's more, the Captain, First Officer, and Engineer's station are all active.
The entire cockpit, including authentic and detailed instruments, dials, access doors, and lighting is lifelike and reproduced faithfully. There is the option to use Virtual Reality headsets with the add-on.
The handling of this reproduced Concorde, which is highly realistic and features Mach 2 "supercruise" capability, and a working TCAS display. Required tasks for the virtual pilot (through a custom-coded engineer's station) which include fuel management for Centre of Gravity control during those high-altitude cruises are also included.
The simulator's internal GPS/flight plan system provides the data for the Inertial Navigation System.
Several liveries are included and available - British Airways 1985-1987 and 1998-2003, Air France 1976-2003, and Singapore Airlines G-BOAD - as well as a complete operations manual and paint kit.

2/5 Verified Purchase
No sign of a speed brake, but nozzles appear as if on when compared to other Concorde sims. No 2d panel and you need one when the VC is so lacking in gauges and controls that function correctly or at all. The worst thing is the pilot panels are all blacked out at night all you see are the gauges and indicator lights flouting in blackness! There's a large overhead spotlight shining directly at the dash board but with zero effect!! I've have more realistic looking and better functioning auto-pilot controls on the free Concorde sims I have. This Sim has some good features but the glaring flaws outweigh the good. If you buy this for your hangar be prepared for some disappointment.

I enjoyed the high level of detail and many of the features of this Concorde. However, on approach and landing, the autopilot function would not hold altitude at 4,000 feet or below, and the plane would slowly drift into the ground. Also although the reheats would engage and provide additional thrust I could never see any reheat effects. So, because I could not use autoland I had to regretfully return the plane for credit. That was a month ago. Maybe they have fixed my issues by now. Hope so!
