Anyone within the airlines operate Concorde, reason I ask is I have been studying High Speed Aerodynamics and obviously the one aircraft that springs to mind whilst doing so is the Concorde, I know we all have our preferences as to which aircraft we like to fly and I have no real interest in learning the old bird, however with such a complex plane I just wondered how many of our pilots are in any way proficient with her operations, how do you find operating it as a single pilot and which payware do you use, also how close to reality would you say it is, I am aware that real life Concorde pilots are as rare as astronaults so I wouldn't expect someone to be 100% in tune, although enthusiasts can know quite a vast amount of there favourite subject, I am no means a 747 captain(far from it) however over the years I have learned a lot about my favourite aircraft and would with a degree of confidence know how to operate her if I ever got the chance

The only real payware is the FSLabs version, old but soon to be updated for FSX Steam and P3D apparently. She's a handful, for one pilot but does have an automated flight officer which manages fuel transfer during flight. It's a challenging aircraft and worth it. I, unfortunately, am not an astronaut and can't opine on the sim's realism. But if you Google her I think you'll find she's widely praised
