Concorde flaps

[Jutti]

Hi all!

I bought FSP, really like it..
But it doesn't really support Concorde (the Altitude Concorde add-on) alot.
Even though there is a bugfix in the latest FSP (which I have installed) that corrects the error that planes that do not have flaps (like concorde) rip their flaps off..
Well., today, I still managed to rip my flaps off. I had the visor up the entire time... They ripped off at around 330 kts IAS...
Did I do anything wrong, or is there still this bug?
thanks!
One more thing:
The emergency-vehicle sound after an emergency landing is annoying. It doesn't sound like fire trucks or something like that, more like howling wolves.
I'd vote to disable this sound..

Thanks again!

Your flaps are "ripped" off? I didn't know this could even happen in FSP.

The emergency sounds are there for ambiance... you're free to edit or delete them if you'd like. I don't think any issue with this sound has
been brought up... most people are fine with it the way it is.

hey speaking of teh sond, could some sirens be added into it, or would i have to edit it myself?

[SWAFO]

That'd be up to you... it's not too hard to edit a sound file (or replace it with one you find).

Brad -

I guess I have used the wrong terminology.
But you know what I mean - they get frozen because of overspeed.

Our specialist of concord is in holliday... I'll try to find what he wrote about concord...

Ok found...
the concord use an unusuall trick to do some animations, it use the flaps for other purpose.
Here's the solution:

open \FS9\Aircraft\BAe-Concorde

- save aircraft.cfg under another name
-search the [FLAPS.0] section it should like the one below:

--------------------------------------------------------début
[Flaps.0]
type=1
span-outboard=0.125
extending-time=8.000
system_type=0
damaging-speed=270.000
blowout-speed=325.000
lift_scalar=1.000
drag_scalar=1.000
pitch_scalar=1.000
flaps-position.0=2.000, 0.000
flaps-position.1=5.000, 0.000
flaps-position.2=8.000, 0.000
[flaps.1] //Inboard Leading Edge Slats
type = 2 // 1 - tail, 2 - lead
span-outboard = 0.5 // 0.0 .. 1.0
extending-time = 4 // seconds
flaps-position.0 = 0 // degrees
flaps-position.1 = 5 // degrees
flaps-position.2 = 10 // degrees
flaps-position.3 = 15 // degrees
flaps-position.4 = 20 // degrees
flaps-position.5 = 25 // degrees
flaps-position.6 = 30 // degrees
system_type = 1 //Hydraulic
------------------------------------------------------------fin

Replace with this one:

------------------------------------------------------------début
[Flaps.0]
type = 2 // 1 - tail, 2 - lead
span-outboard = 0.125 // 0.0 .. 1.0
extending-time = 8 // seconds
flaps-position.0 = 2, 0 // visor down
flaps-position.1 = 5, 0 // nose 5º down
flaps-position.2 = 12.5, 0 // nose full down
damaging-speed = 325 // KIAS
blowout-speed = 375 // KIAS
lift_scalar = 1.0
drag_scalar = 1.0
pitch_scalar = 1.0
------------------------------------------------------------ fin

Save aircraft.cfg

It doesn't modify the animation of the aircraft but you'll not have any flaps failure now...


Hope it help ?
