The custom designed flight dynamics based on real world data include but are not limited to:
First ever in MSFS simulation correct representation of the high swept delta wing with sharp leading edge (Based on NACA / DATCOM / MIT Aerospace data
Correct Concorde dCDelta Cdo Mach Drag vs Mach (changes in drag with Mach and compressibility effect)
Correct Concorde dCl/dAoA Factor vs Mach (changes in total lift based on AoA and Mach)
The effects include all new “Blue flame” reheat effect, all new “Reheat glow torch”, Concorde smoke effect. Concorde Slow speed high AoA leading edge Condensation cloud, Animated Engine AIR Intake Ramps, Spill Doors, Secondary Nozzle and Reverse Thrust, Landing Light pops with auto-retract and Elevons which droop when Hydraulics unpowered.
The aircraft features a main 2D panel with animated Visor and 2 stage wipers, 2 stage panel lighting, custom designed AFCS with LAND 2 and LAND 3, complete ''cold and dark'' flags and ''test'' function, a main ZOOM panel.
