August 2, 200421 yr Hi,I am unable to stop the aircraft on landing. I have no problem in landing, but once landed it slows down when I press the brakes, but the reverse thrusters won't kick-in when pressing F3 and auto brakes even at max setting doesn't help and it just starts accelarating off again. I have tried re installing FS2002, but still get the same problem! Its the same with generic Fs2002 aircrafts as well as add-ons.Is there a particular file that might be corrupted?Any help would be appreciated.Many Thanks
August 2, 200421 yr hmmm..."F3" you say? Well, I don't know if you might have reassigned the key, but reverse thrust has always been "F2" for me. I really hope I was of some assistance...the key assignment was the first thing that I could think of. :D
August 2, 200421 yr This may be a silly question but you are turning off the auto throttles aren't you? Or maybe you need to check your joystick throttle calibration if you have one.Willhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg
August 2, 200421 yr That's the tricky one:in the Default AC:Arm Spoilers Sift / will do. Arm auto brakes, 2 its ok for most cases.Be sure to disengage AP before touch down,(hand flew the landing, no autoland in the default) once you touch the rwy, disengage Autothrottle, Deploy Spoilers and Hit F2 to engage reverse thrust.Once you reach 60knots pres F1 or advance the throtles to disengage reverse, brake as needed and get out of the active.That'll do it.
August 2, 200421 yr Thanks guys for the replies.I will try as adviced.Sorry it was a typo, I meant to say F2 not F3!! I never checked if the autothrotttles were on, as before as soon as you dis engage Auto pilot it also disengaged auto throttle. Thanks Guys
August 2, 200421 yr Author On some panels, disconnecting the autopilot does not turn off the auththrottle. Make sure you turn it off manually. Also, make sure your throttle control is calibrated. If you don't pull the throttles down to zero, the reverse thrusters will not work. And, what speed are you landing at for a particular plane? You might simply be landing at too high a speed. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
