Rockwell Stein 1381741 Posted February 17, 2017 at 05:51 AM Posted February 17, 2017 at 05:51 AM I wanted to do some flights using the freeware Concorde, however I was unsure if it was allowed or not, as I haven't seen anyone do it before.

Norman Blackburn Posted February 17, 2017 at 06:24 AM Posted February 17, 2017 at 06:24 AM Hi Roickwell, Concorde is very much still alive and flying the virtual skies here at VATSIM. 1 Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted February 17, 2017 at 10:58 AM Posted February 17, 2017 at 10:58 AM (edited) And when crossing the Atlantic you can use the good old Concorde tracks: https://vatsim.uk/oceanic-procedures/ Search the internet for pictures and the terms "concorde north atlantic tracks chart map" - you'll find things like this: http://www.worldairops.com/NAT/docs/NAT_Interest_AFConcordeTracksMap.jpg Edited February 17, 2017 at 11:18 AM by Guest Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted February 17, 2017 at 07:34 PM Posted February 17, 2017 at 07:34 PM Flew the SSTSIM Concorde just yesterday from Narita to Singapore. Short flight, lower fuel level, favorable winds...first time I have made it up to 58,000 feet. Quite enjoyable. Concorde is very much alive and well on VATSIM.

Johan Grauers Posted February 17, 2017 at 08:29 PM Posted February 17, 2017 at 08:29 PM It is certainly allowed. All I will say though is Concorde is not an aircraft for the lazy or the faint hearted. It takes a lot of hard work to make concord work and it's got no fancy automation to help at all. Basically what I'm saying is if anyone new is reading this, by all means go for a concorde flight. But do it only when you feel 100% comfortable with all the other bits of vatsim, talking to ATC, flying a SID and a STAR (including vertical restrictions!), reading charts, finding your way around on the ground, and so on. If you haven't nailed all the basics I think you will find it very hard to keep up with concorde. However if you want a challenge then you've got it. And if you manage to do it even to a basic level then you're far better of a concorde pilot than I am for sure Johan Grauers Event Coordinator - vACC Scandinavia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Morkunas Posted February 17, 2017 at 08:30 PM Posted February 17, 2017 at 08:30 PM Controllers at KJFK know how to handle the Concorde and love to say "Speedbird Concorde 192 HEAVY - fly the Canarsie Climb, wind 310@10 runway 31L cleared for take off." For shame the Concorde pilot who does not know the Canarsie Climb. Andrew Morkunas Twitch: padre_andrew ATC Simulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fong Posted February 18, 2017 at 03:06 AM Posted February 18, 2017 at 03:06 AM Flying Concorde is absolutely allowed on VATSIM, no question about it. I fly Concorde often (the payware FSLabs version, though) and have always been welcomed with open arms wherever I fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted February 18, 2017 at 03:26 PM Posted February 18, 2017 at 03:26 PM Not long ago I heard ZNY guiding BOTH "Speedbird Concorde One" AND "Speedbird Concorde Zero-Zero-One" in for their descents into Kennedy. Made me laugh. But yes, they're out there regularly if you know where to look. KJFK seems to see a fair amount of Concorde traffic. Cheers, -R.

henrik kjærstad Posted December 9, 2020 at 08:15 PM Posted December 9, 2020 at 08:15 PM I'm flying the Concorde almost every day, I'm looking forward to start flying it on vatsim. but that is the differences with the Concorde and a320 on atc. so that different should u say on frequency.
