[Short introduction]

 

Next, there is a video, over an hour long, where I try to share why I feel so passionate about Concorde and why I really believe that every virtual pilot keen on complex aircrafts should definetely fly Concorde X in particular.

 

This video is aimed at those virtual pilots that had never really thought of flying Concorde and to those that have been thinking about it but have not finally decided to make the purchase. I do hope the information provided will be useful.

 

Bests,

[The full story behind the creation of this video]

 

Ever since I joined a virtual airline and started to share my passion for the fllight simulation with other enthusiasts I've always felt that everyone gets very excited when other companies release highly detailed (and priced) airplanes. However, I have found too that a relatively low number of those enthusiasts, that own every single detailed payware aircrafts, are actually Concorde virtual pilots or have even considered becoming one of them.

 

As some of you may now, I was lucky enough to be admited in the v1.3 beta testing, so I've been flying Concorde like if there was no tomorrow ever since I could download the fist beta until almost its release date, just some days ago. For me, Concorde X has always been the ultimate flight simulator experience. I enjoy flying many other aircrafts, but Concorde has so many particularities, it is such a unique aircraft, that no other  "airplane for the masses" is able to make me feel even close to what Concorde does: not enjoyment, but sheer passion. And flying Concorde X in a P3D v3 environment has done nothing but multiply those feelings by double, triple o ten times compared to the previous version in FSX.

 

So, as beta testing days went by, and as I spent more and more hours in this "shiny new" v1.3 Concorde, I felt the URGE, the NEED, to share my experience. I started to think that, very likely, many experienced virtual pilots which enjoy other detailed, but "common" aircrafts, had never really thought of trying Concorde X because they don't really know what they are actually missing. So, during beta testing, I decided that I would create a video explaining why I truly believe that Concorde X is the ultimate flight simulation experience that every passionate virtual pilot should try.

 

The decision of recording that video created in me an internal conflict. Being a Concorde X v1.3 beta tester, some could easily believe that I was just making an "undercover" commercial job. So, some days before the final version was going to be released, I took the "weird" decision of asking Lefteris to put me out of the beta team. I wanted to be a "regular" user just like anyone else, with no access to beta/rc versions, testing licence or private beta forum. Of course, that also meant that I would purchase my own licence just like any other customer would do. It was hard to leave the beta team, but I needed to feel 100% independent. I must insist on that it is PASSION, and not any hidden commercial interests, what has moved me to create this video. Please, never forget that point.

 

All the best,
