Don't wander too far off- she is nearly finished...

 

Still here, Robert  :biggrin: 

 

 

I'm probably one of them...

 

Kyle, 

 

what's your idea on the glowing brake screenshot? What's so peculiar that Rob alludes to?

 

My guess was... 

 

 

The first axis doesn't show the glow. Either the brakes failed as suggested before, or this axis does not carry brakes at all for whatever reason: Saving weight, reduced system complexity, or
 
savety, if overheating flattens the respective tyres, the front axis' tyres might survive undamaged until the aircraft comes to a complete stop?

Good question...

I can't see the pictures at work because of our lovely firewall, so I can't take a look at them again, but you might be right.

Just a guess... But in the RTO test on Youtube, you can see that the 4 front tires are the first to deflate. Perhaps the engineers distributed the braking loads in a way that all wheels would stay inflated about the same time?

Hm, no engaged discussion on the picture with the braking glow in comparison to the flaperons... What's up with you, folks?

The only thing I can think of is the following:

"Taxi Brake Release

During each taxi brake application, the antiskid system releases the brakes of one axle pair of each main landing gear (if wheel speeds are less than 45 knots).  The system sequences through axle pairs at each brake application, thereby reducing the number of brake applications by each brake.  This extends service life and reduces brake sensitivity during taxi."

 

Only, the following would mean that it has been implemented correctly, or Jason was abusing the aircraft in just the right way:

"All active brakes are applied fir a heave brake application, landing rollout, RTO, or when setting the parking brake."

 

So, if he slammed on the brakes above 45 knots, they should all be glowing, however, if he kicked the autobrakes off and then jumped on the brakes under 45 knots, it could've made those two axles worse.

Captain Randazzo, 

 

now it is up to you, have we found the clue?

I think they are too busy fixing all the bugs to answer your question...lol

I think they are too busy fixing all the bugs to answer your question...lol

I think they are too busy getting new screens because of the actual bugs  :lol:

Been away for quite a long time.   Nice previews!!!   

 

Next update is an in depth preview of the flight deck!

 

Don't wander too far off- she is nearly finished...

 

Still here, Rob  B)  :lol:

Yep.  Still here.  Haven't wandered off too far like you said but it's been six weeks dudes.

Its nice when you dont have any competition out there..You can do whatever you please and people will still buy from you. LOL

Yes, they're all sitting in some dark room, smoking $500 Cuban imports, playing cards, and snickering while their computers sit idle in the background.  The screens depict 3D modeling programs, and coding programs, all in various states of troubleshooting.  The people, on the other hand, are simply sitting there with not a care in the world, no motivation, and a complete disdain for the customers.

 

One chuckles, "I'm so glad we don't have any true competitors!"

The other joins in, "well there was the one, but...well, who knows."

Yet another laughingly joins in with "at least it means we can take it easy!  I mean, we don't have any personal stake in finishing it, clearly!"

The doctor cuts the mood with "raise - I still have heaps of NGX money left over."

 

The rest of the team folds.

 

While one reshuffles, another chimes in "well I'm off to grab a drink.  Anyone for another round?  We really don't need to rush!"

 

:rolleyes:

So Kyle, what you are saying is that you have insider information...are you at these card games?
