Hey IPACS, could you add the INS configuration on the Concorde and the real route with the actual waypoints that were used for a CDG-JFK or LHR-JFK flight with the Concorde?"

If you go to the missions menu there are flights available for the Concorde which include the real world routing with waypoints.

Great, thanks, I found it, and could you add the cold and dark of Concorde?

At the moment the after burning jet engines cannot be shut down yet.

It looks like a Spaghetti Noodle. Can anyone pass me the Spaghetti Sauce please?

Are you applying a closing heading to cross over the first leg of the route? I don’t think the autopilots seek out any route waypoints, the intermediate legs have to be intercepted before the LNAV engages.
(I don’t know for a fact).

I must first set a course for the point just before entering the Atlantic zone?

Here I did not engage the Concorde INS immediately but on autopilot set an intercept heading and armed the INS. It smoothly joined the route.
The same route here also has the first legs aligned with the runway heading and the 737 had the equivalent LNAV preselected. The plane got cleaned up early and was able to join the route before the first turn. LNAV captured the route directly once the autopilot was turned on.
There is typically a +/- five degrees tolerance in the initial leg headings to enable direct entry. -
I think the Concorde is missing a route from Paris to Rio de Janeiro. If I remember correctly, I think the Concorde was supposed to stop in Dakar to refuel and continue the route to Rio de Janeiro.
