Overspeed causes airframe stress which can tear your aircraft apart, esp. when you use the higher realism settings :)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

There is a .cfg fix for it, I'm sure somebody will post it in no time ;)

Just make sure your realism settings are turned down, unless you want to find out what no-winged, no-engine, no-airplane flight is like! :o ;D

I don't think there's anything you can do about the Concorde - I believe that the max speed speed of M2.08-ish is hard-coded into the Concorde airframe type in the .air file by our dear friends at Microsoft..

(So ... use a different airframe type!!)
