Greetings...

 

Good to see the FS9 version 800 is still going strong :)

 

Is there a way to increase the braking capability of the 800 auto brakes? What alteration to he aircraft.cfg file do I make?

 

I find the auto brakes not at all realistic and setting RTO to 2 for a standard dry weather landing rarely pulls the aircraft to 60 kias before the runway begins to run out :(

 

Thanks, Iain

I assume spoilers and reverse thrust is used. Your question begs a question of your landing speed, you shouldn't have a problem if you are on speed target. PMDG has included warnings to not mess with the configuration files.

Thanks Dan for your comment.

 

Landing speeds are OK - VREF or a tad over VREF.

 

I'm comparing the reverse thrust between the FS9 NG and the FSX NGX. The later has far greater braking potential and reverse thrust when auto brakes are set to 2 than the FS9 model. Unless there is a massive difference in this area between the real aircraft ?

 

I've always thought the FS9 737-800 braking potential wasn't that great. Even with auto brakes set to MAX and landing at VREF stopping distances are long, Iain
