I have downloaded and installed Condorde for FS2002. As far as I can tell I have installed correctly.  The aircraft shows up, all gauges seem to be working and all controls appear to be working.  However, when I take off I get an overspeed warning at about 350 kts shortly followed by the aircraft overstressed message, resulting in the end of the flight.   

How do I correct this? 

Also are there any decent guides available for flying this aircraft?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Don't go over 350 kts shortly after takeoff  Grin  Simple. You're not supposed to be going over 250 kts anyway until you're above 10,000 ft (general rule of thumb, regulations in the states-i think it's different in Europe, if you're flying out of there).  Aircraft cannot fly at their cruising speed close to the ground.  350 kts at 5,000 is very different from 350 kts at 30,000 ft.  Vne (never exceed speed) changes with altitude.  You can't accelerate to the concordes cruising speed until you're reallly up there.
