Flying the concorde

I was wondering how you fly the Concorde in FS2002. Since the concorde doesn't have the fuel pumps that it does in FS2000, i'd like a little walkthrough of how to get the big monkey off the ground, nose positions, speed at certain FLs and such. I usually get up past 40,000 and the plane looses speed and finally descends. Occasionally the plane shudders alot. I'd like to know a bit more about flying it.

BTW, I'm hosting a game on Zone tomorrow night in tribute to the Concorde. We'll be doing a round-the-world flight pretty much- Dulles-Heathrow-Hong Kong - Sydney - LA - NY. Join if you like.

First off i would say he over to Project Mach 2 and download their concorde.

remember to select your after burners on take off but to put them off 20seconds after you got airborn - this is climbing out of heathrow. You should be able to maintain 300kts under 10 000ft. Keep on climbing without reheat. At FL280 you should be around Mach 0.95 and over Bristrol. Keep on climbing out over the Bristrol Channel to the accel point. There you light your fires up to M1.7 and there you de activate them. you should slowly raech 2.02 and FL550 at the same time...

Hope this help....
