Concorde X flight number 4

Post by Michael Blakely »

I flew my fourth Concorde X flight last night. I'm now very comfortable with the checklists and pilot procedures. I also programmed the INS's by hand last night instead of using the "route card" files.

Next step is to handle the pressurization and inlets/ramps on my own. After that is fuel management, which is a bit daunting given that you can easily move the center of gravity to a point where the plane is unflyable.

However, those will need to wait as my new CaptainSim 777 is still waiting in the hangar for it's mainden voyage, and I've got some Christmas money that I want to use on a set of FSX Airbuses and the BAe-146.

Let me know how the CS 777 is. I've been eyeing it. I used to enjoy flying the PSS 777. Wish I still had that bird.

Yeah, I'm with you Mike. I've had the CaptainSim 777 since Christmas and it hasn't left the hanger yet. Just loaded the new upgrade to the released version last night so it's time to learn this plane.

I've spent all legs of my last bid learning the CoolSky MD80 Pro that I also got Christmas.
