Some questions regarding Just Flight Concorde Professional

Postby krusbullen » Sun Mar 21, 2010 6:23 pm

I have bought the Concorde payware from Just Flight and have been testing it and learned to tax, take of, fly and land it.

I did a rotation from London Heathrow to New york and i choosed IFR and direct GPS so the duration of the flight time where somebit 7-8hours (standard plane he he). Everything went good but after a couple of hours the engines shut of due to lack of fuel. On the fuel display i have fuel left but it seem like the valve to the remaining tanks are closed. How does this works? Can i switched to auto or something? I just want to learn to fly it from A to B before i do this kind of proceedures.  ::)

I tested some more know and it seems like its not the fuel but overheating the engine. The engine no1 is shutting down first and i have a alarm. I tested to shut down the reheat buttons but it stills overheat.

Btw even if i have the reheat on and engine no1 is shutting down i can se the flames after it like it was working properly. I don

HI,

You wouldn't use the reheat all the time, you'd overheat the engine ports plus you'd not have enough fuel, only use the reheat burners once out over sea.

Play around with the fuel selectors and don't forget that in the Concorde, fuel was used to maintain the C of G plus was used for cooling.

If it's anything like the Abacus Concorde you've little chance of flying it properly without doing some reading and using ALL the panels  ;)

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

To answer your reheat question:

To take off, you "arm" the reheats, slam the throttle forward, rotate at about 200 knots to 14-18 degrees, accelerate to 250 knots and hold it.
