I've been using Radar Contact for some time with normal airliners such as the 737, 747, 767 and etc. Radar Contact does a good job of getting you down to approach altitude and speed in plenty of time to make a successful landing. My question is, will Radar Contact work OK in that regard with the Concorde. Because of the extreme altitude and speed, the Concorde needs a long distance to get down to approach altitude and speed in time to make a successful landing. Does anyone have any experience with using Radar Contact and the Concorde together and does the combination work OK?Would appreciate any input on this. Thanks!Mike

Hi Mike,I've flown the PSS Concorde extensively with RC4 and there are no problems that I've encountered.If you're flying it as they used to in the real world and not going supersonic until you're well clear of land then you need to consider what flight level to file. What you don't want is Centre clearing you to altitudes that would cause you to go beyond Mach 1 until it was desirable to do so.I use a simple rule that if I'm within 70 miles of ocean I file for FL550-FL590 but if further away then I file for FL280 (the optimum sub-sonic altitude) and request higher when clear of land. Concorde cannot stay sub-sonic above FL350.RC will take the higher altitude into account in determining when to start you down. It occurs around 215 miles from the arrival airport. At that point you should dial up 350kts and start a 1000fpm descent until 350kts has been achieved and then descend at 3000-3500fpm.Create a waypoint 40 miles from the arrival airport so it serves as a guide to reaching 11,000ft or 12,000ft (FL110 / FL120).If you're flying the BA livery there's a special Speedbird Concorde callsign that is available.Hope that helps. Welcome to the Mach 2 club! :-hahOh BTW, I've created a Concorde fuel calculator to help with less than full fuel loads. You can find it here http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=69473
