I've notice that my break temps do not seem to increase (or read anything other than 0) after prolonged breaking. Is this modeled?

its modeled, but you have to wait few seconds before you can read temps on display. Lj. Prodanovic

Oh brake temp is modelled, I have had a few brake failures with steel brakes due to overheating while testing, try a RTO.

Its modeled but not sure if it got a few glitches - my brakes warm up - but dont cool that well on ground - i hadnt burnt them out temps were only up to about 2.0 left sim on over night on stand - and in morning they still read same temps - they cool when getting airbourne but no cooling on ground - just got airbourne they down to 0.3 now and falling(gear up and locked)

same here. They ONLY cool in the air. Odd...

Have in mind, that if it shows 0.0, its not that the brakes are cold as if you would not brake. 0.0 means everything at or below 300° as far as i remember. Put your a/c on heavy load and try to land then, it should show you a number way above that.

yes same problem ... already wrote a ticket

full landing weight at autobrake 4 no reverse thrust, yes they do work eheh. they just dont cool down on the ground which is a shame but im sure pmdg will look into it. I know it should take a long long time to cool with no airflow but they do nothing, even after 2 hours.

it doenst matter if 2hours, 2days, 2weeks, 2months or 2years ... they just dont cool down on the ground for me and maybe a handful other people :)I don't think most of the people here are having this problem and the ticket said that they will look into it, but that was maybe 5-7 days ago since I had an answer ,,, I hope they can replicate it and fix it edit:it dont need airflow to cool, in the air is enough or not being on the ground ... it will cool even with gear up

If they say they'll look into then that's fine for me. They will fix it.

only if they can replicate it :)and since only maybe 3-5people having this problem its hard to replicate it ... I hope your right and they will fix it :)

Is brake heating modelled? Hehe not only is it simulated, they can fail! It doesnt stop there either! Try taking off with overheated brakes and put the gear up.... wheel well fire! Alex

In throry, they should cool down a LOT faster in flight, if the gear is extended. If the gear is HOT, retracting them into a closed stowed environment, will would induce cooling.That being said, they should not have any reason to be HOT when you stow them after Takeoff, unless you were riding the brakes during Taxi & taxeoff !!!. In the Sim, I could see this happeing, if you are uisng uncalibrated Brake pedals. I have asked many times. It would still be informative to know how much "Dead Travel" is simulated on the brakes. Ie, At what Percentage (0 to 100%), does the brake start to engage ? Is this travel fixed in Real World, as the brakes wear -- ie are the Brakes Auto-Adjusting for compensate for break wear ? For example, at 0% to (say) 10%, there should probbaly be NO Braking effect Definatly, at 0.1% tehre fould not be 0.1% of Maximum braking !!. Geoff

I did some checking as well after a few folks asked about brake cooling. Mine do not cool on the ground either. After several hours on the ground the brakes did not cool. VR Todd

they mostly get hot because landing > taxi to gate > wait (few hours) > taxi to runway > takeoff and they didn't cool down during time on the ground ...It should cool faster when the gear is down while flying, I didn't test it really (no stopwatch and excelsheet) so I can't say if this is true, but my guts tells me that they aren't cooling any faster if they are down then up
