Good morning allI have purchased the TSR autobrake program because I wanted to simulate the effect of runway conditions (wet, dry, ice etc) on aircraft braking. I have to say that I am not all that impressed so I thought I would revert back to alert pro by flytech (anybody remember that?), because that has a wet/icy runway simulation. I then found that flytech have disappeared and that I don

Are you inputting specific runway slope settings for airports with TSR, or relying on the default settings? I've found that if you put the correct slope settings in and tune them a bit, rather than settling for the default, it makes a pretty decent showing in most cases.I had a hell of a time getting a heavily-loaded 737 slowed down in the wet at Woodford yesterday. I think I must have used too harsh a brake setting and begun 'aquaplaning', because I went right into the run off area LOLAl

I've been using the latest TSR Autobrake system with the PMDG MD11 and it works great with manual toe brakes and autobrakes. I have it running on a networked machine and have all the offsets for my toebrakes configured in fsuipc. It's not really a install and use out the box program and needs to be setup correctly.RegardsRob

When I purchased this I had no idea that it was going to require a lot of fiddling about to get it working with a manual that is barely comprehensible. I am a bit fed up with this product to be honest and have now parked it in the deep and dusty recesses of my hard drive where I suspect it will remain until a tutorial or an English manual gets written.I was hopping that there might be an alternative program or that somebody might be able to help with the alert pro but I guess I will soldier on with the icy runway stopping on a sixpence scenario.Booooooooooo!

I think it is a stretch to say it requires 'a lot of fiddling'. Granted, the manual is not the greatest translation for German into English ever seen, but it is hardly 'barely comprehensible'.There is basically only one thing you need to tweak manually, and that is to add the ICAO code to the little pop up ICAO position editor, along with runway heading and slope/condition, as a value from 0-20, simply copying the form taken by the examples already in there (0 represents an appalling runway surface, 20 means it is perfect).It would be nice if it did that automatically of course, and you do need to find out about the real airport, but it's not really a hardship to add that data yourself, since it takes all of ten seconds to do so. Even if you don't put any of that data in TSR still has a stab at things on runways in FS with default settings.After that, the only keyboard command you need to know is to hold down Control+Alt to minimise/maximise the interface, everything else is a labeled tick box and does exactly what it says on the tin. I really don't see what is so hard about that.Al

Well I think that as far as I can see the pop up gauge is only visible in windowed mode and I always use full screen. That means that the gauge is sitting on the desk top behind the sim so I can

You can assign keys for it (or mouse presses, joystick buttons or whatever), via the FSUIPC button on the TSR Autobrake main panel, although you will need a full on version of FSUIPC in order to do everything it is possible for TSR to do. If you have a full version of FSUIPC, click on that button in TSR and it will be self explanatory what you do in order to assign keys.Al

Thanks Al i will give it a go. I have a full FSUIPC so it should work.

Do I understand correctly that you can use the TSR to simulate the runway state/slope, and then still use the Autobrake/manual brake systems which come with the aircraft (in my case Maddog2008).I am happy with the autobrake system in the Maddog. The manual braking is also highly modelled (proper brake pressure simulated, overheating simulated etc). I was wondering if I could just use the TSR to set up the runway slope/condition/contamination and use the autobrake provided by the Maddog panel?Has anyone tried this (ie. not use the autobrake function in TSR).ThanksNeilC

The problem is, when you have TSR running, it stops the autobrake switch moving in the VC and overrides that with its own calculations and makes you use the TSR panel going through FSUIPC, so it certainly would not do it by default. I think the ICAO slope and runway condition settings act on the TSR Autobrake, so it would involve getting the TSR brake to emulate your aircraft's brake behaviour.But, since the braking behaviour is very customisable, I do think you could tweak it to get something you were happy with. By default it has a few standard Boeing and Airbus set ups, but you can create your own too.Al

Hello to all,i am a new buyer of TSR autobrake and I can't get it to work properly. It works with default Boeing 777 and 747 (FS2004) but not with 737. I tried to send .air file of my PMDG MD-11 to the email that is written in the manual but no luck. The email does not exist. Also: I tried landing 747 in snowy conditions at Ljubljana (LJLJ 282100Z 00000KT 1200 R31/P2000V1900N SN FEW002 BKN007 OVC015 00/M00 Q0996 R31/590238 NOSIG) but it stops just fine, no drifting or hidroplaning even at max autobrakes.My ICAO.txt looks like this:EDLW,06,12EDLW,24,12EDDL,05,12EDDL,23,08EDDL,26,08EDDS,07,11EDDS,25,11VNLK,06,15VNLK,24,0400CO,07,11LJLJ,31,01LJLJ,13,12I hope you could help me.Matjaž
