After hearing about ooOO00OOoo's problems with the PM2 Concorde I decided to do a little flight myself.


Loading with passengers


Welcome to the flight deck


If you need to go in FS, the PM2 Concorde has you covered.


After pushback


Caught this Singapore 744 no doubt heading to Singapore in a few hours


Taxiing


Tahiti-Nui A340 taking off, probably going to Tahiti


Just before turning onto the taxiway onto 5L


A Malaysian 744 going to Kuala Lumpur


Rotating, left the ground quite late.

That was fun. An awesome aircraft to fly.

And did you get any landing screenies?

Sorry, I only took off.

Good pics Kelburn! The Concord is a very difficult aircraft to land correctly. Airspeed and nose attitude angle is crucial as is weights etc.. to a good landing. Just like all the heavies really! The 737 seems to be reasonably forgiving but the bigger ones need everything to be just right and nailing the landings in these big birds is very satisfying and you can quite rightly be rather proud of yourself when you get it right.

Yes, its an incredibly wonderful aircraft to fly. Such incredible raw power, coupled with grace and refinement.
See link below for some more screenies at NZAA i did some time ago.......

wow kelburn thats looking good for fs2002..
and wow lawrie what ai are you using? it looks great especially the herc

mm would take some skill to fly that, great screenies kelburn, although I feal there was more ai in there than concord haha

he Concord is a very difficult aircraft to land correctly. Airspeed and nose attitude angle is crucial as is weights etc.. to a good landing. Just like all the heavies really!

and not to mention the approach speeds, imagine flying a dme arc (no little doted line on the EHSI) to a complex STAR and instrument approach. Woudl be a hard aircraft to "keep up with" in the air...

I'll be looking forward to screenies from your first trans atlantic in that bird kelburn hehe, man thered be a hell of alot of planing for a oceanic flight in that, don't they even have to move fuel around the aircraft for balance in flight, and complex nasty things like that ooow

Hiya V_A_C.
The Air NZ AI is just Project-AI. The Herc and Orions, are my own doing, and the Airfreight NZ CV-580s , Ansett Air Freight F27, NZ Post aircraft, AirNZ Freight DC-8 etc are part of my NZ Retro-AI project. The other AI like Royal Tongan, Freedom Air, Air Calin (New Caledonia), Air Vanuatu, Ansett, Jetstar etc, are from a traffic set called "AI Traffic for the South Pacific", by Luis Felipe pech Pacheco.
Had it for a few years now, and cant remember where i got it from, but the file name is "ai_southpacific.lfpp.zip". About 11.5mb zipped.

Hi V_A_C.
Yes, NZ Retro-AI is available on Avsim. 2 packages released so far. Another 2 to go yet.
If you want to know more about the NZ Retro-AI Project, have a look right here on NZFF. We have our own forum down with Godzone/Real NZ and Great NZ Light AI project, under the NZ Related Addons...User Support Forum.
