Does anyone know of any SSBJs for FSX? preferably based on real world concepts like the Sukhoi S-21? there's an S-21 over on flightsim.com, but its for fs98 and it doesn't seem to want to load into my sim

I've yet to see any, although I'm hoping someone will make the latest version of the Aerion design, the AS2 (http://www.aerionsupersonic.com/).

Are there any countries which let you overfly at supersonic speed? This is an option over the ocean only, surely?

It would be cool to see these concept jets in FSX. Might be out of luck flying them over land though...

At the moment that is true, but NASA just gave Lockheed Martin a contract to build a low boom demonstrator (http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-begins-work-to-build-a-quieter-supersonic-passenger-jet). This will simulate the shock wave of a low boom airliner at low cost and be flown over public areas to gauge how people react to the new designs. My understanding is that the new design would have boom signature equivalent to the sound a car door makes when it's shut.

I should note that the Aerion design can supposedly fly at Mach 1.1 without generating a boom that would reach the ground.
