Well, one option would be to reduce the fuel to half-load, unless you're intending to fly the full Atlantic flight-plan. > AM STILL STRUGGLING with the concorde real sound.

However, I seem unable to download the sounds from the website right now, so haven't tested this.. I assume that you've put the .wav files into the data/Aircraft/Concorde/Sounds directory. Now you need to enable them by editing Concorde-set.xml and uncommenting out the reference to Concorde-real-sound.xml on line 60. I.e. change the following text on line 60 <sound> <audible>true<audible> <path>Aircraft/Concorde/Sounds/Concorde-sound.xml</path> <!-- <path>Aircraft/Concorde/Sounds/Concorde-real-sound.xml</path> --> </sound> to <sound> <audible>true<audible> <path>Aircraft/Concorde/Sounds/Concorde-sound.xml</path> <path>Aircraft/Concorde/Sounds/Concorde-real-sound.xml</path> </sound> You should then find that the sounds work correctly. > Also I'm thinking of doing a website for FG/Concorde. > Basically it will be (I hope) a repository of knowledge for > new FG pilots wanting to use FG/Concorde, and geared to the > neglected win32 users.

See http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/flight_gear/flight_gear.cfm for details.
