Well if you put it that way.
I found out from someone on Flightsim.com forums, to get the gauges going is to copy the entire Gauges folder that is in Fsxconcorde.zip file to main Gauges folder in FSX, then delete all the gauges from that but do not remove these gauges.
737-400.omi.gau, AutoBurner.zip, CONCORDE.zip, F16.gau, and gps2.gau
These should get the cockpit going enough to fly it.
You still have start your engine via the Ultralight then back to the Concorde. I wish there was a way to make the airplane work the way others do with Ctrl+E. I guess it has to do with the .cfg file, right?

Your Welcome. I started a thread a month or so ago on the Concorde, and I never the answer that I never got from Flightsim, so thats why I didn't think of sharing.  J/k
Hey Eff, wanna help me figure out why this plane doesn't start engines when you do Ctrl+E? It starting to bug me that you have start it with the Ultralight then to the Concorde.

I sure wish I could help you. I'm still having problems landing a C172. Maybe an Ultralight that could go as fast as the Concorde would be the answer. Good luck.

Gents, there are many aircraft that won't let you start the engine(s) with Ctrl+E - the developers of those a/c make you go through the start-up sequence for added realism. I haven't tried this in FSX but it'd be worth a try that when the engines are running, pause the flight and make it one of your 'Saved Flights'. Give it a name you'll remember such as 'Concorde/engines on'. Next time you select that flight you might just hear the sweet sound of the engines. |

Hi Art,
your honesty is to be commended. I'm willing to wager my earthly possessions that you are by far not the only one. That C172 takes forever to get near ground level - what's the fun in that.
Granted, to fly these Cessnas by the numbers in flightsim might be beneficial for the serious future real life pilots... but why torture yourself when your ambition in life is no longer to become a 747 pilot?
You might find this incredulous but to land one of those fast WWII single prop warbirds is much easier.
...oh yes, it's fun too  |

Been there done that.. Doesn't work. Only saves the aircraft and location. |

If you're good at writing batch files then that might be a good idea. If you're not and you've never done it before, here's a lovely little tutorial: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/BatBasic.html

Hi Tailhook, thanks for the compliment. I always try to be honest. Truth be told, I'm getting fairly good at getting the Cessna down - my biggest problem seems to be lining up with the runway. It seems as though everything is OK, flaps down, speed just above stall, and then I see the runway. Either I'm off center or on the wrong heading. That's when the fun begins. I usually find myself flailing away with the joystick in those last few moments before I touch down, or I end up going around. I must be horizontally challanged or something. Oh well, practice, practice, practice.
By they way, we're so off topic. I think maybe we should start a new thread. 
Best regards ... Art |

| I've edited my original message about gauges, and what to do with them, in my reply to Eff. It didn't maskes to me, so it probably didn't make sense to you, so I fixed it. |
