Stephen Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 NEWS! - Aircraft Released : Concorde FXP v2.0 by Colimata Colimata has released a seriously big upgrade to the Concorde FXP in v2.0. This is an upgrade folks, but for original purchasers the upgrade cost is only US$5, a cup of coffee's worth of great new features, and the list is Looong. Debatable is the fact that should this aircraft have been the original released version? but Colimata has taken the same development road that allows you access (at a price) during the early development phases, and with noted areas that are not finished, point taken that in this release the aircraft is in a now far, far more completed form than in the v1.0 version. So you can note v2 as completed, well to a certain high level, certainly yes. Point to make is that the aircraft is a balanced simulation that can satisfy both newcomers and the in-depth supersonic flying that is required at a study level, it caters for both users. There will be X-Plane 12 support for version 2.x.
