An interesting concept but many problems running it in FSX. Engine 3 hydraulics not defined, no flaps, and the engines aren't manageable as is, maybe engine idle is too high - unable to decelerate to anything close to a landing speed without the speed brake continuously deployed. Major tweaking, time, and testing required.

No flaps based on similarity to the B-58 delta wing, which has only elevons. The Concorde doesn't have flaps either. You are right about my missing the Engine 3 hydraulics. My mistake. About the engine, I suspect the issue is the thrust_scalar parameter - I had to set it to 1.35 to get the speed to Mach 2, which also gave too much thrust at idle. If I go back and retweak this would you be willing to try it out?
