Since purchase i have had no noticeable issues other than incorrect annuciation on the ND during autoland, untillast night after landing at EHAM. After getting half way to the turminal i lost all brakes. No i didn,t check for brake failure.

Over heated brakes? Dan.
Crossed my mind. Am kicking myself for not checking things like this and assuming it was a bug before exiting FSX.

I use good thrust control for taxi, it's easy to over heat the brakes on this bird, especially after landing. Think about it; 70 tonnes of aircraft travelling at 150 mph slowing to a near stop in a few thousand feet with only two wheel bogeys, HEAT!!Dan.

What are they ? Usually there is nothing wrong with annunciations.

After selecting APP and then engaging CMD-'B', i get a green 'CMD' annunciation on the FD (sorry, mistakenly said ND), when i understand it is supposed to be orange 'CH1' or something to that effect?

It will only change to CH 1 after you capture the localizer.At 1500 feet it will then change to Land 3 for Fail Operational or back to CMD for Fail Passive. That is the correct behaviour.It will only do that with Hotfix 3 applied. Fred.

I believe it is supposed to show CMD if you have a fail passive auto pilot.Dan.Edit: beat me to it Fred.

Lol. Even with fail passive it will annunciate CH1 above 1500 ft.Changes to CMD below 1500 ft. Fred.

Cheers, I forgot to add that bit.Is The White Flare armed the only indication after CMD that you have got an autoland active and correct? I suppose if CMD did not annunciate you'd know? I'll have to read up on that.Dan.

Yes, Flare armed at 1500 ft with Fail Passive. Flare & Rollout armed at 1500 ft with Fail Operational. Both in white of course.

Are you using Hotfix 3 ?

There is no known issue with autoland annunciations - this was correct in alpha testing even.

I must disagree with you on that Ryan ! Before Hotfix 3 it announced CMD instaed of CH 1 above 1500 ft with the localizer captured. I even read something from PMDG saying it was now fixed with Hotfix 3.And yes it is now fixed. Fred.
