the actual Status of my FU3 Concorde project

[Guest effyouthree]

Yes Chris,But it's true in real life. When you turn sharply in a 747, you are dragging at least half of your 16 mainwheels sideways (due to steering on the inner bogies...) :-eek . If that doesn't cause drag, I don't know what would :-roll Of course, I don't think we have the benefit of inner steerables, do we Ansgar?Try differential steering with the engines. It turns hard left much better with NO left throttle ;)Regards,**************Jonathan Point**************"I'd rather be down here wishing I was up there than up there wishing I was down here"

Ahh, yes. I had forgotten about all those wheels. Presumably, Concorde will not suffer from this problem to any great extent ?Chris Low.

Hey Chris come on....if you set the concorde throttle lever to 40% you sure can turn also faster, ... but don

Ansgar,I'm just looking forward to boosting those engines to 100 per cent, and watching all of the AI planes within range getting blown apart by the sonic shockwave :-lolChris Low.

Ansgar,I will be more than happy to help you if you get stuck with the flight model. One of my expert areas happens to be supersonic aircraft flight modelling in FU3, as you might know...Which also makes me a perfect test pilot for the Concord ;)// Daniel

Hello Ansgar.Well, your latest project with this historical bird within this kind of simulatian is very very good, and I would like to see and try out the result of this.I do not know mutch about 3D-modeling, but when it comes to the end product of this sim, regarding flightbehavior and eviroment experience, nothing comes better simulated than this.If your concorde aircraft is the same standard as the B747 and Jon'swork, this will once again be a winner of flight experience.I wish I could do more myself to contribute to all this and the UK region better,but my time is short, and running my company with 8 employed people takes me out of spare time.All I can do for the moment is just supporting the best sim I have seen, and supporting the addonmakers taking their time to work with this.Best Wishes.Lars Peter.
