As a long time user of the FSLabs Concorde a few comments if I may. Once reaching the accel point autothrottles would be disconnected and pushed full forward with reheat applied in pairs. The speed needs to be as close to VMo as possible without touching the throttles. Use Pitch Hold to adjust climb rate to keep speed just below VMo. Regarding the decel / descent the first calculation is to ensure you’re subsonic 55nm before landfall to avoid laying a sonic boom over populated areas. If you’re able to draw a circle centred on that point it will act as a guide. At the decel point dial in a lower altitude, ALT HLD is engaged and throttles retarded to 94% N2. When 350Kts is reached engage IAS ACQ on the right. The descent will start. At Mach 1.5 further reduce throttles to 77% N2. The descent rate should increase. At Mach 1 reduce throttles to idle for a steeper rate. Once you’re subsonic and at comparable altitudes to lesser aircraft treat Concorde as a normal aircraft bar approach speed of 190kts reducing to 160kts at 500ft for landing. Good luck your next flight has rudder control. 😊 If you would like some shorter plans I’ve created let me know. I fly EGCC-LPPT regularly and 1h 30m is one hour shorter than Airbuses / Boeings. Look forward to your next flight! 👍
Really appreciate your input thank you! I had this in my notes from my previous Concorde flights that you retard thrust to 94% N2 and wait until you reach an IAS of 350kts before starting descent, in the current Colimata Concorde build it won’t decelerate at 94% N2, I had to set lower during the stream (white detent on the thrust levers) to have some level of deceleration. What’s your thoughts on that? FD2S
@@flightdeck2sim it suggests the flight model needs further tweaking. You were correct in being concerned at the climb rate when reheats were cancelled at Mach 1.7. No way should the climb rate be so drastic. It should drift up around 500-800fpm. It was also standard practice to engage AT1 at that point and engage MAX CLB. MAX CRZ should engage at Mach 2 around FL500. One final point. Air temp was critical to engine performance. Keep an eye on IAS DEV. A negative number means colder air with good climb rates; a positive one means warmer air with a poorer climb rate. The opposite is true on descent. Warmer air = steeper descent rate. But watching your video again now and you’ve done really well given how few flights you’ve done. 👏
You reach M1.7 at 52m 19s. Mach 2 is reached at 53m 44s with a climb rate of >3500fpm with reheats off. That has to be a bug. Why would climb rate reduce to 400-500fpm once FL570 is reached rather than when reheats were cancelled at M1.7. You were right to be concerned. One final point. During taxi out the Captain would dial in the flight distance for the cabin display. I didn’t see you do that? Is it modelled?
Next time, crack open both flight deck windows just before landing and throw your arms out to increase drag and steer the aircraft on the runway. FO arms to go right and Captain arms to go left. FE arms added for extra drag! If you still cant get it straightened out, call the purser or have the FO stick his entire body out while the FE is holding him after his feet. Should work like a charm, no need to thank me🙂
One day I may actually catch you live 😂 always love the streams! The 'enthusiastic pushback man' used to be a twitch flight sim streamer named Catstrator, one of the OGs and that enthusiasm was entirely on brand!
Unlike your good self, I landed and vacated without incident haha Shame about the sim crash, but I was able to get the flight completed. That’s the important thing. Thank you for the inflight entertainment.
Wouldn't the boom in a supersonic fly by just be the sound you hear the moment it flies by (as all that sound hits you in one moment). You wouldn't hear a boom before it passes you as it would mean the sound is travelling faster than the speed of sound (in air) which isn't possible.
Flew on it twice in twice 1980's JFK to LHR and LHR to JFK. Have the air certificates on my office wall
Welcome to Hawaii. You're fired. 🤣

😂😂😂😂😂 made my day!
Son of a Concorde Captain, I flew on it twice.
Flying Concorde on my birthday as well! That day, I was the captain of a small boat off the coast of Maine, so I did not watch live.
One day I may actually catch you live 😂 always love the streams! The 'enthusiastic pushback man' used to be a twitch flight sim streamer named Catstrator, one of the OGs and that enthusiasm was entirely on brand!

Thank you for the inflight entertainment.
That certainly was a brutal runway vacation
Could’ve been worse with that left rudder! 3:18:26
Hey Captain. Thanks for the stream. Could you please try to take her in the air again. And also the felis 747.

Yo, after much consideration, I’ve decided level up is better than Zibo. The FOs voice sounds like your voice.
The thing with flight sims is that there's more frustration with them than there is joy!
I see they didn't fix the fuel management system.... thefeed tanks at the front of the wing should be half empty during supersonic Cruise for balance

Beware the rudder of doom ^Haden 😁
