Concorde!

[Charl]

I've never really taken to Concorde in flightsim, too fussy for my taste.
But there's a new version by Libardo Guzmán García at flightsim.com that took my fancy.



I like the satin finish, although probably not 100% authentic.
I took it around NZ at 55,000 and it doesn't take very long... NZAA - NZCH went by in 19 minutes!



It's not terribly manoeuvrable - this is what a max-rate Mach 2 turn looks like



It has a good VC (apart from some dubious cockpit figures), and effects.
I have replaced my entry in this month's screenshot contest with it, I am so pleased.

RANGE .. legs ... Ah Ha .... ole fooseball trick .. couple spear jugs in the back

Eeks! I just realised why ANZ didn't buy a half dozen of these...
I thought HK was being conservative, you'd be running out of legs before you even got to Guam!
OK Auckland-Sydney-Singapore-Dubai-Paris, then.
Somehow "first stop Sydney" doesn't have quite the trans-continental ring of glamour you need for a lady of this pedigree...

How many French fooseball players do you have to return , maybe a few may wanta stop in other secret spots like Christchurch

[Charl]

First, nukes in our backyard, then acts of terrorism; now, Eye gouging, and lewd pub behaviour!
Sacre Bleu! what is the world coming to??
Ship 'em off at supersonic speed, I say...

Just tell the lot of em all Andre Turcat captained the then french fooseball team and lost due to the british cap Brian T , be squabbles in their backyards again , that will bring them racing home .
