I recently bought the Altitude/Koch Media Concorde add-on for FS2002/4. It seems like a good product, although i would advise against it for people new to Flight Simming as the tutorial which comes with the product is a little advanced in terminology.

My reason for posting is to ask if anybody else has experience with the product, and if so, if they know how to prevent the artificial feel switches from popping back out a second or so after they are pressed in.

I have refered to the manual on this which suggests this is caused by either a loss of hydraulic pressure, an artificial feel computer malfunction or an ADC malfunction. It doesn't, however, suggest a remedy for any of these three possibilities.

Does anybody know how i might get around this? the tutorial suggests that these switches should be engaged before taxi, and so i havn't managed to get off the ground yet! Is it possible to fly the concorde without these engaged? What would the effects be?

I'm interested to hear from anybody who knows anything about any of what i've been trying to describe!

Thanks,

Adam

I have resolved these problems after searching for help from the manufacturer. A necessary update and many useful FAQ's are available on a support site. It took me a while to find the site as [very usefully] it was not mentioned at all in the accompanying documentation with the product.

So help/downloads can be found at:

http://www.softwarehelpdesk.co.uk/

once there, click 'Altitude', then 'Concorde'.

Anybody interested in buying the product should be warned, this is a very detailed and complex simulation. I have many other 3rd party commercial add-ons and can operate them all... but i have spent several hours with this one now and have not yet managed to get as far as taxi-ing [hmmmmm hyphen or not?].

So yes - a detailed, pleasing and challanging add-on, but in my opinion, not for the beginner simmer!
