hi hi. just discovered this bird and was considering buying it. however i’m a stickler when it comes to graphics and textures in MSFS, and it’s hard to tell these things from the vids and screenshots so wanted to ask first hand experience.
what are the interna and external graphics and textures like compares to, say, the PMDG products?
Less visual fidelity than PMDG but not terrible. Fun plane to fly after learning the ins and outs.
If you are a stickler for graphics and textures, perhaps wait until the upcoming update is released which supposedly improves these items. FWIW, I am not a stickler but I also don’t like poor graphics and I find the DCD Concorde’s current graphics and textures completely fine as they are now and I fly this aircraft all the time.
thanks for the input. good to know there’s a texture update coming soon. i’ll keep my eye out for it
I’d also review some of the YouTube videos that discuss how to fly the plane as well, especially for startup. I enjoyed flying it (haven’t used it as much lately), but it’s solid for what it is. Also looking forward for the updates.
Concorde major update work now underway, looking to revamp almost everything. Can’t post support stuff here but wanted to let Concorde fans know that things are moving forward more rapidly now. Images show revised exterior lighting.
what sort of stuff are we talking about here? mostly behind-the-scenes stuff or like a complete texture/graphics upgrade?
Complete upgrade as stated above, inside and out, plus CIVA INS.
insights into the seat behind the pilot:

Just a few images from update work. Full passenger cabin now included, modeling, materials and textures all being updated. CIVA INS in place, awaiting code.
Is the INS system replacing the current FMS, or being added as an option?
It’s an option, FMC will remain for those that wish to use it.
Nice, looking forward to the update!
yep, he stoped updating it since the first sim updates, and the plane is SOOOOO BROKEN now with several things bugged 
Its in the process of a huge update at this moment in time.
There are no bug reports on Concorde at the moment, other than the mis-alignment of the ILS approach which seems to be as much caused by the sim itself as the aircraft. Plenty of users enjoying trans-Atlantic flights in Concorde and posting pictures of their travels on our Discord. Lots of folks complaining of bugs who then turn out to be doing things wrong. Cannot provide support here though.
Not broken at all it flies pretty well only issues ive had which are annoying is the AP sometimes doing odd things
Yeah I gotta be honest, I read that comment and thought I was going crazy.
I haven’t run into any issues with Concorde. Some addons break all the time with sim updates, but this isn’t one of them.
The flight model was made before the ground effect adjustments on the base sim, so it floats like crazy before touchdown.
The pressurization system does not pressurize properly at FL600 so the alarm turns on
The course selector on the HSI doesn’t work, the arrow don’t turn at all so we are unable to conventional navigation using VOR
etc…
