January 6, 200422 yr A resounding thumbs-up for the team at FS France for getting the PM2 Concorde converted over to FS9! Although they are gone, they will not soon be forgotten.Two quick questions for a Concorde newbie such as myself:1. At what point in the flight is the windshield protector raised to it's full position?2. What is her normal flight level when above mach 1?BTW, I can live without the smoke effects to finally have this in FS9.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/56533.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/56535.jpg
January 7, 200422 yr W2sjw 1. At what point in the flight is the windshield protector raised to it's full position?The Visor was raised when accelerating through 270kts, and lowered again when decelerating through 270kts. For the majority of the flights, this was accompanied with the command to raise/lower the nose between 0 and 5 degrees. So for example, when maintaining 350Kias (or 380kias as Air France did) in the descent and you reach the Speed Limit Point (SLP), you would idle the throttles, and slow to 250kts. When passing 270kts, the Pilot Not Flying then lowers the visor down and lowers the nose to 5 degrees. The nose is then lowered further to 12.5 degrees at the same time that the landing gear is extended. 2. What is her normal flight level when above mach 1?The aircraft didn
January 7, 200422 yr Thanks Andy!I wasn't sure at all - I know that this is the 'easy' FDE. I had her at M1.8 at FL450. I didn't know her primary cruise altitude was in the upper 50,000'sScott
