New Screenshots – October 2009

As we’re putting the finishing touches in our development process and slowly moving towards our beta testing period, we are happy to share some more preview screenshots of the Concorde-X airliner addon for FSX as it stands today. Click here to visit the new image gallery and share the Concorde pride with us!

Exterior Model

fsl_Heathrow_thumbnail BA2_thumbnail

Remodelled within 3D Studio Max using advanced technical drawings, complete with high resolution textures.

Specifically designed for FSX, featuring specular and shader technologies, shine and bump mapping.  Animations include all control surfaces, engine components, nose and visor, aircraft doors and even wing flex!  Special effects are used to simulate engine reheats (independent to each engine) and complex wing vortices, in addition to weather and failure scenario effects!

Virtual Cockpit and Cabin

Redeveloped entirely in 3D Studio Max, the Concorde-X virtual cockpit takes advantage of the experience the team gained working on previous products, to produce a visually stunning and technically accurate virtual cockpit. Complete with custom animations and beautifully rendered textures, the Flight Sim Labs Concorde-X virtual cockpit will be instrumental in the total immersion feeling we wish to deliver to our customers. (Preview images to be available as they’re developed).

The Concorde-X virtual cabin is designed to offer a peek into the 3D world with detailed seats for our demanding customers who wish to get a feeling of how it was to travel in Concorde style!

Instrument Panels

Improving on first-class award winning technology, the 2D instrument panels have been redesigned and redeveloped to follow the latest variable lighting techniques, using a blend of photorealistic and rendered image sources for clarity, usability and accuracy in command perspective.

Sounds

Internal and external sounds have been remastered to take advantage of the new FSX three dimensional technologies which provide a fuller, richer experience to the armchair pilot. Our audio engineers grappled with digitally advanced sources to give you the best in the latest FSX sound delivery.
