June 7, 200916 yr I had a successful flight from FACT (South Africa, Cape Town) to SBGL (Brazil, Rio) in my MD11. Everything went just ok - fuel 80 000kgs - first FL 320 then FL 380 and LW (landing weight) 191000 kgs. But in an autoland when rolling out I switched off the autopilot, pressed the "." (for brakes) and at 60kts switched the RTO know to OFF.BUT the aircraft was stuck on the runway. FS9 indicated the BRAKES ON and I couldnt move/taxi the aircraft. WHY?Roar

WHY?RoarI've had this happen on some other addon aircraft even after selecting auto brakes to off....the brakes stayed on. Tapping the toe brakes on my Saitek rudder pedals releases the brakes. If you have brakes mapped to a joystick or rudder pedals, try tapping the brakes on either. But, I've not had this issue with the MD-11 upon landing. I never use autoland either :( Joe
