Manuals:
The Concorde manual written by DC Designs is truly the highpoint of this product as far as I am concerned. It is sufficient, bland, with Absolutely No Frills.
Score: 8.0 out of 10
Graphics & Texture Quality:
The general external textures were sufficient. However, they indubitably lack that “Ummphhhhhhh“, Spark, and/or Striking Qualities, Attributes, and/or Characteristics required and expected at this level of a flight simulation to be reasonably competitive in the product market.
Score: 7 out of 10
Three–Dimensional (3D) Virtual Cockpit Modeling, and Textures.
The Concorde cockpit designed and delivered by DC Designs is Adequate and Reasonably Functional but ultimately Sub-Par, or significantly less than market competitive products. The old and very well worn and used textures provide a strong and constant distraction from the below average texture quality.
Score: 6 out of 10
Flight Dynamics & Flight Modeling Quality:
The aircraft flight model and dynamics appear, sound, and feel as they should could be. Only a properly trained and experienced real world Concord pilot would be the credible judge(s). The slow flight, stalling (i.e. power on & off, thirty-degree turning stalls, steep turns, power on (Clean and in Full Landing Configurations), acceleration and deceleration rates were not possible to conduct under reasonable conditions due to the very poor and unacceptable performance at 4K resolutions. I will give DC Designs the benefit of the doubts on this one based on the reasoning in the first sentence of this paragraph.
Score: 8 out of 10
Aircraft Systems Quality:
The aircraft systems are minimalist and, while not advertised or marketed, are not in the High-Fidelity Study Level category. There are is no weather radar or terrain radar included. JustFlight reiterated this was not and not intended to be a High-Fidelity / Study Level Flight Simulation.
The DC Designs Concorde systems were generally Adequate, Functional, and UnRemarkable.
Score: 8 out 10
Overall Performance Quality:
The primary purpose of this review was to test out the DC Designs Concorde on a modern M.S.F.S. platform at 4K resolutions. The DC Designs Concorde failed miserably.
I was not able to fly the aircraft at all with Severe and Constant Freezes and Pauses in all instances. Specifically, in high angle of attacks and high rate of axis(es) movements, that triggered external wing effects, nearly paralyzed the the flight.
I made several attempts on different occasions with fresh computer reboots with the latest build and all software updates.
Moreover, I completely lowered all effects and settings to the minimum possible at 4K resolutions and the same results were yielded.
The DC Designs Concorde is poorly source coded Resulting in Very Poor and Unacceptable performance at 4K (UHD) resolutions required And Intended in And For the modern M.S.F.S. platform. Specifically, any normal operations or aggressive flight movements that trigger external aircraft flight effects immediately and constantly cripple the performance.
I highly Do Not Recommend the DC Designs Concorde for anyone, or any entity, expecting to harness the current generation M.S.F.S. at the 4K (UHD) level due to the Very Poor Performance And Sub-Standard Textures throughout, Particularly and Specifically in the Virtual Cockpit.

DETLA AIRLINES JUMPSTARTS THE NEW BOEING 737 MAX-10 WITH A FIRM ORDER OF 100 UNITS.
DELTA Airlines, in their announcement, explain their primary justification for the value proposition of this purchase contract is the BOEING 737 MAX 10 yields a twenty to thirty percent increase (20 – 30%) in fuel efficiency during typical operation, compared to current models used. Ultimately, the Return On Investment (R.O.I.) is a confidently expected decreased long-term operational costs, without sacrificing quantity, while also simultaneously increasing customer satisfaction.
The BOEING 737 MAX 10 (737-10) currently does not have the mandatory United States Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) Airworthiness Certification. The aircraft is currently under review by the F.A.A. If the F.A.A. does not certify the BOEING 737 MAX 10 by the end of this year (December 31, 2022), The Boeing Company must make substantial and costly redesign modifications to the general flight safety and alerting systems. The current and older systems designed into the BOEING 737 MAX 10 will not be protected by grandfathering the current regulatory standards any further beyond December 31st, 2022. Naturally, Legally, and Obviously, these required safety systems must be compliant with current regulations at the time the BOEING 737 MAX 10 is granted and awarded its F.A.A. Airworthiness Certification, or by December 31st, 2022.

Product Synopsis and Overview:
Aerosoft has been a perennial publisher in the flight simulator market for decades. According to reports Aerosoft Extensively helped with the development of the latest iteration of the Microsoft Flight Simulator (M.S.F.S.). Last year Aerosoft has published the first airline transport category turbojet a Meticulously Crafted high-fidelity Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet (C.R.J.) 550 and 700 aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The detailed product specifications and purchase portal ($50.99 U.S.D.) can be accessed by clicking here.
The scope of this review is to the two additional extension models of the Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet (C.R.J.) 900 and 1000 aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The product specifications and purchase portal ($19.99 U.S.D.), or 16.80 Euros, for these extended models can be viewed and accessed by clicking here. Please note the software requires valid ownership of the C.R.J. 550 and 700 aircraft flight simulator in order for the extension C.R.J. 550 and 700 aircraft to function.
Scope and Goal:
The scope of this review is to evaluate the overall quality, in association its degree of fidelity, and the effective utility within the simulation for the 900 and 1000 models.
I have done extensive, rigorous, and prolonged testing for this review.
Microsoft Flight Simulator Version: Game Of The Year Edition with Direct X 12 Beta Enabled.
The final Aerosoft C.R.J. version tested was 1.0.15.0 .
All of the testing was done with the Saitek 3D PRO joystick. Inexcusably the product is not compatible with the external hardware interface FSUIPC (Pete and John Dawson) required for the Precision Flight Controls Yoke and Throttle set detailed below.
Upon direct email consultation with Aerosoft Project Manager Mathijs Kok and Cedric Mattys, it was disclosed that Aerosoft has declined to provide functionality to FSUIPC because M.S.F.S. has developed sufficient advanced controls native to the program.
Following receiving this information, I shut down the FSUIPC program and was able to nearly fully assign most essential control inputs into the M.S.F.S. Controls Assignments. However, the Take Off Go Around (T.O.G.A.) button assignment was not available in M.S.F.S. Controls menu. The M.S.F.S. Controls menu does have an option for an Auto Throttle T.O.G.A.
Ultimately, all essential assignments for external controls can be assigned within the M.S.F.S. Controls, With Limitations.
Testing Specifications:
Hardware: Hands-Crafted, Customized & Hand–Made Hardware Setup: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10980XE CPU @ 3.00GHz (Eighteen [18]-Core Central Processing Units [C.P.U’s.], Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R ARGB Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, ASUS WS X299 SAGE LGA 2066 Intel X299 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 CEB Motherboard, One-hundred and twenty-eight (128) Gigabytes (GB) of Dual Channel Random Access Memory (R.A.M.)

Purchase, Download, Installation & Updates:
Purchase, download, and installation were standard without any issues or problems. The $50.99 United Stated Dollar (U.S.D.) price is reasonable for most users.
The newer user friendly Aerosoft One interface:
Manuals:
The provided manual is well written with sufficient details and very well illustrated with number screenshots. Aircraft takeoff performance charts, takeoff and landing charts, center of gravity (C.G.) charts, and cruise power tables are all absent. The charts and tables for the real aircraft this was modeled from should have been included in the manual.
I found some issues and problems with these listed below:
- Systems for the CRJ 550/700 are Identical to that of the CRJ 9000/1000 –> They may be indeed identical in the real aircrafts, though I just wanted to mention this.
- The Structural Weight limits between the CRJ model variants. For example the CRJ 900ER and the CRJ 1000 have ninety (90) and one-hundred (100) passenger capacity, respectively.
- The weight and balance tables between the CRJ 550, 700, 900, and 1000 models are not clearly labeled and confusing.
- The naming/identification, or nomenclature, between the CRJ 900 and CRJ 1000 are inconsistent and confusing throughout. There is a CRJ 900ER routinely referenced along with a CRJ 900, yet there is no CRJ 1000 model.
- Quick Reference Guide page # 37, V-Speed performance Tables: There is no identification of what CRJ models the V-speeds and weights.
- Quick Reference Guide page # 6 Maximum Landing Weight: The tables are only showing the landing weight up to and including: 34.019 kg or 75,000 lbs.
- Performance Tables are incomplete: The tables are only showing the landing weight up to and including: 34.019 kg or 75,000 lbs.
- Various typographical (typos) throughout.
Score: 9.25 out of 10
Graphics & Texture Quality:
Identical to that of the CRJ 550 and 750, the overall graphics quality including texture sharpness and clarity at native 4K/Ultra-High-Definition (U.H.D.) resolution are OUTSTANDINGLY AMAZING, as Expected. Briefly, the texture and modeling are the best seen to date in M.S.F.S. for any aircraft. Perhaps some may argue the relic Precision Manuals Development Group (P.M.D.G.) DC-6 looks better. However, from my seat and perspective this modern turbojet aircraft Aerosoft has delivered is unmatched in both modeling and texture quality and detail.
Score: 11 out of 10
Three–Dimensional (3D) Virtual Cockpit Modeling, Textures, and Night Lighting
The cockpit is delivered to the quality as expected.
Score: 11 out of 10
Flight Dynamics & Flight Modeling Quality:
The aircraft flight model and dynamics appear, sound, and feel as they should. The slow flight, stalling (i.e. power on & off, thirty-degree turning stalls, steep turns, power on (Clean and in Full Landing Configurations), acceleration and deceleration rates all seem very realistic and of the highest fidelity.
Rigorous environmental testing was conducted as follows either at or near maximum certified takeoff weight:
- CRJ 1000 –> High Altitude Airport Takeoff at Daochen Yading airport (ZUNDC) in the People’s Republic of China at 11,560 feet Mean Sea Level (M.S.L.).
2) CRJ 1000 –> Cold Altitude Airport Takeoff at Qaanaaq airport (BGTL) in Greenland.
3) CRJ 1000 –> HOT temperature takeoff in Kuwait (OKBK).
4) CRJ 1000 –> Short Field takeoff and Landing at Sedona, Arizona (U.S.A.).
5) CRJ 1000 –> Aircraft and Agility testing at Lugano, Switzerland.
6) CRJ 1000 –> High Aircraft Density Certification in Boston Logan Airport to New York John F. Kennedy airport (KJFK).
7) CRJ 1000 –> Night Flight Certification in Paris, France (Europe).
8) CRJ 1000 –> Flight Envelope and Stability Testing.
The flight model and dynamics are Fantastic.
Score: 11 out of 10
Aircraft Systems Quality:
The aircraft systems are robust, basic, and well defined for s study level flight simulation. There are is no weather radar or terrain radar included.
The Traffic Collision Avoidance System (T.C.A.S.) aural (audio warning) is delayed about five (5) seconds and compromises flight safety.
No Takeoff Tail Strike Simulation (*Wish List* 🙂 )
The Trim Control buttons are not synched with the external computer controllers.
The Flight Management Computer (F.M.C.) has no option to enter data via the computer keyboard.
The Autopilot certainly needs some optimization, fine-tuning, and polishing. For example with the autopilot on in NAV mode following the preprogrammed flight plan, the aircraft will make a turn of approximately thirty (30) to forty-five (45) degrees and then proceeded to oscillate in a decreasing sigmoidal pattern, on both sides of the new course track for several minutes. I do not distinctly recall the new course tract was definitively established, even after several minutes of these dampening tracking oscillations. To note the y-axis of the autopilot, or altitude, hold was wither on altitude hold or in the Vertical hold (VNAV) mode, being directed by the F.M.C.

Recommendation:
I Highly Implore the purchase and usage of the High–Fidelity Aerosoft Canada Regional Jet (C.R.J.) 900 and 1000 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This simulation is extremely reasonable, has solid systems, with OUTSTAINDING Visual Textures and Modeling. The product Pristine, Polished, and nearly flawless. The $19.99 United Stated Dollar (U.S.D.), or 16.99 Euro’s, price point is Very Reasonable & an UNBEATABLE VALUE!!!!!!!

First reported by FLYING Magazine‘s on staff reporter Thom Patterson “on – site” report,the Stratolauncher “Roc“ completed its first flight of 2022 on Sunday January 16.
The above photograph was sourced from Stratolauncher and FLYING Magazine: https://flyingmag.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/flyingma/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/17114128/flight-deck-banking-copy.jpg
Stratolauncher was conceived and founded by billionaire and Microsoft Co-Founder Paul G. Allen. Notably, Mr. Allen was the owner of both the National Basketball Association (N.B.A.) Portland Trailblazers and the National Football League (N.F.L.) Seattle Seahawks. Mr. Allen succumbed to a lifelong war with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer at the age of sixty-five (65). Mr. Allen’s sister Jody Allen has been bequeathed control of Stratolauncher, the Portland Trailblazers, the Seattle Seahawks, and all viable residual businesses previously under Mr. Allen’s jurisdictional control.
The Stratolauncher “Roc“ is uniquely, and one of a kind, powered by six (6) Boeing 747 engines and has two cockpits. The purpose of the aircraft is to launch “Piggy Backing“ and “hauled“ vehicles from the inner section of the aircraft for airborne release and immediate hypersonic flight. The usage of the “Roc” aircraft is termed/identified as the “carrier” vehicle in the system. “The Stratolaunch Talon–A is a flexible, high-speed testbed built for hypersonic research, experiments, and enabling operational missions.”

Using and leveraging his previous real life Captain experience of being a Beech 1900 twin (2) engine turbo propeller (turboprop) regional aircraft with a regional airline and Boeing 747 – 400 type rating, Captain Randazzo’s P.M.D.G. is, and historically has been, the undisputed leader in High-Fidelity Boeing airline transport category aircraft flight simulation for the desktop & laptop personal computer(s).
Over the decades since P.M.D.G. moved into the Microsoft Flight Simulator-Verse-Dome-Orbit (M.S.F.S.V.D.O.) from its’ pioneering work with a Boeing 747 – 400 in the Terminal Reality FLY! Flight Simulator nearly twenty years, or two (2) decades ago, I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated Captain Randazzo’s AVSIM and new independent forum posts as pleasant, warm, and informative readings, similar to those found in FLYING magazine.
Captain Randazzo also mentions an update, making changes to LNAV and Flight Director controls laws, is pending with the sign off from the second round of beta testing for the Boeing 747 Lockheed Martin Prepar3D product line.

Virgin Orbit (Long Beach, California; USA), a spin off company from the pioneering Virgin Galactic company, launched and deployed seven (7) small satellites today from a specially modified Boeing 747. The launch was live streaming through the companies webpage.
Virgin Orbit is a boutique small satellite launching company with the marketing line & slogan “THE PREMIERE SMALL SATELLITE LAUNCH SERVICE”, Prominently Display on the front page of the company website. “WE ARE ON A MISSION TO OPEN SPACE TO EVERYONE” is also displayed on the front lower right corner of the Virgin Orbit front page.
Notably, today’s Virgin Orbit launch was in the immediate wake of an earlier negatively disturbing announcement from Virgin Galactic; Just Hours Before on the same day, possibly as damage control and/or distraction.
Virgin Galactic decided to DROP the news it will be taking on an additional $425 million to $500 million United States Dollars (U.S.D.) of debt, while it has paused All revenue generating flight presumably through the end of the year or longer, according to Barrons (https://www.barrons.com/articles/virgin-galactic-stock-51642101161). Moreover, stockholding stakeholders took the latest gut punch with “Its stock shed more than 16% at one point during trading Thursday morning, hitting a low of $10.36 per share. That’s a far cry from its all-time high of $62.80, hit in early 2021,” according to the Cable News Network (https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/13/investing/virgin-galactic-debt-stock-scn/index.html).
Virgin Galactic stock (New York Stock Exchange symbol: SPCE) closed the day trading at $10.03 U.S.D., down 18.92% on the day from the previous low value (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPCE/).
