Concorde Tracks

Post by gepap »

There are three NATs which are used exclusively by Concorde crossing the Atlantic. Track SM is normally used for Westbound flights, SN for Eastbound and SO as necessary. Unlike the tracks for the subsonic aircrafts which change from day to day these tracks are fixed as there is little wind at supersonic cruising levels.....this is the normal way........but here fsx at last is a game, and for my opinion is a good idea to test and different things....for example to fly the Concorde with tracks for the subsonic aircrafts in Transocenic flights........or to make so many subsonic flights with this so nice eagle......and much more.......

But the subsonic aircraft tracks not only spend an inordinate amount of time over land but they are also designed, day by day, in view of the prevailing jetstream winds between FL310 and 380.
As such they are completely irrelevant to and inappropriate for Concorde.

Hi George, and welcome to the forum :hello:
Not many scheduled services for Concorde as of course there wasn't in the real world. However flying outside the va, the worlds you oyster so to speak ;) The Concorde charters were a profitable and a good PR exercise for BA, and to a lesser extent Air France. From the Round the World tour, LHR to Liverpool for the Grand National. Also eclipse chasing and Christmas with santa in Lapland to name just a few. Maybe inappropriate for the aircraft but the experience of a lifetime for many who flew on them.
Cheers
