Is it re-fuel in air unrealistic V12? Ya, the speed starts to drop down on 24000 feet. I forgot to engage the A/p. It was weird. I'll try again today, after cross over with the 777 again.

What mid - air refuel ???
Before taxi menu-Concorde-Fuel, from dropdown list choose Max takeoff or Max fuel and You will have 94 tons of fuel. It is enough for 4000 nm transocean supersonic flight with mandatory half hour reserve for circling or divert. But You must properly manage pumps and valves for fly in the CoG corridor indicated by the bugs on the Machmeter.

the fuel ends too fast. I was refueling the whole time to have it. I missed it wants - the plane starts to fall. I do not get your plane, it's too complicated for me. I'll take the stupid 777 and that's the only choice I had.

And I do not understand the half of your talking, V12, this is advanced talking to a noob. I've lost interest. Sorry.

Default fuel state for Concorde's first flight is Max landing weight (MLW) and it is around 19 tons of fuel, what is not enough for serious flight. Check http://wiki.flightgear.org/Concorde#Fuel_Management for more information.
You are right, manage fuel is complicated process on engineering panel available via CTRL+E keys

I checked, V12. It is not for me. I am not that advanced, I am used to making cost indexes and flying 777, which is not that realistic. But this plane is emptying the fuel cell on the climb. I try it several times to make it climb 50 000 feet, lost speed to 240. Then I try manual, after reaching 30 000 it was not capable of the good climb because if I attempt to pitch up to 2, for example, immediately starts to lose speed. It is complicated. I was tough that if we were going to be alone I should take it instead and make the stream lot shorter, but I can't operate it properly and need to learn a lot. It's too complicated English for me, so prob. I'll not go to use it until I got more advanced in aviation English more.

Think why that is the case? ;)

EDIT - I will just tell it :lol:
the reason is that https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/common/nat.html will display the current tracks in use, and since its 1350Z now it will show the Westbound tracks (1130Z - 1900Z). The eastbound is from 0100-0800Z, so if you check during that time you will get it and it should be right for your event. But anyways this website gives you a history of the last eastbound and westbound track : https://blackswan.ch/?page_id=73


If you ever plan on joining VATSIM, join one of the Cross the Pond events. The next one is this March and will be westbound from Europe to North America

The second video is wonderful.
Regret that in FG never had such traffic. But I hope more people will come this time with me!
