Big thank You.

Np

FSL released Concorde for P3D v4.xxx some days ago, if I remember correctly...

Nope. They just announced they will be working on it later on. I am looking forward to it

New cockpit model built with the Prepar3D V4 SDK
New high-resolution textures
Complete 3D engineers station
Both British Airways and Air France variants
Full dynamic light integration with FSLSpotlights v2
Improved external texturing - using techniques developed for the A32X Series
All new high-resolution sound set using our new sound infrastructure developed for the A32X Series including cockpit, cabin and external sound sets, complete with sonic boom
New special effects - including our spectacular lighting effects in adverse weather conditions and fog
True Dynamic Lighting - a system developed for the A32X Series that varies the intensity of the light depending on environmental conditions and time of day (or night).
Cabin PA sound sets for both British Airways and Air France
Concorde Weather Radar integrated with Active Sky

OK, I was in mistake.

SHM how those tracks work? How can I check up them to make faster flights in the Atlantic???

[SHM]

All these transatlantic long hauls and you dont know NAT tracks, jk (This is why flight hours cant be used to judge )

Here you go

Well, as you know I am not such a "big sha" pilot. I do not understand a lot of stuff still. But I think I am intermediate. Usually for me does not matter how much the flight hours are. I was a wonder, of course why the normal flights are 6 hours and mine is seven and a half. I tough it was scenery issues, or slower mvt because of my low fps computer. Thx. I'll try to create an flt pln with those in mind next.

btw this table does not speak to me anything. For what should I look?

lets take an example of a NAT track from https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/common/nat.html

E RESNO 56/20 56/30 55/40 53/50 RIKAL
EAST LVLS NIL
WEST LVLS 310 320 330 340 350 360 370 380 390
EUR RTS WEST NIL
NAR NIL-

E - Track Label RESNO - Oceanic Entry Point 56/20 56/30 55/40 53/50 - Route (lat/lon) RIKAL - Exit point
EAST LVLS NIL = This track is meant for going west, so no east levels
WEST LVLS 310 320 330 340 350 360 370 380 390 - Flight levels for going west
EUR RTS WEST NIL - No prefered entry route from Europe
NAR NIL - No prefered entry route from NA

I do not see why you send me the link from the other forum. It was obvious that I did not know what did I talk there.
But this was more than a year ago.
V12, I am trying the Concorde...... Nice plane, good fps. But I am so noob with the spd and the altitude....... I'll have to read a bit I tough.

And, thx, SHM for the explanation. I looked over on the internet, combined with your info I tough I know now. Thx.

[PavlinS]

This plane has amazing contrails........ WOW! I like them so much!



At cruise.......

[PavlinS]

LOL, loss of fuel...... LOL.

[V12]

Concorde is old bird and need some engineering. Check flightgear wiki Concorde, especialy part about fuel management and triming. Without it You will never hit sweet spot M2.00 at FL600.
Piloting that plane near MTOW and MLW is totaly different, with full tanks flyies like heavy bomber, with MLW like fighter with climb rate far over 6000 fpm. And there is special bonus - powerfull afterburner. Concorde wants fly higher and higher, faster and faster exactly like supersport cars.
But there is dark side of the power - extremely nasty stall characteristics and terroristic fuel consumption.
