Does the 777 have brake fans?

Nope.

Ok so there's no way of cooling them as soon as you put the parking brakes are on , they are locked on and can't release

There is an option on the CDU, under "maintenance," to restore the brakes to normal temperature.  This is unrealistic, of course, but it is availalbe if you do not feel like sitting around for an hour or two to let them cool.

An obvious limitation with simulators is the lack of G-force.  If you are overheating the brakes to the point of failure on a normal landing then you need to take a look at your technique.  Only time you should see brakes getting that hot is after a high speed abort.

Yea man how fast and heavy are you landing? Even with full payload and rejecting at around 180 knots it took me 2 tries to pop the tires, so how are you burning up your breaks that much on a normal landing?

You SOMETIMES have to brake? Probably a good idea to ALWAYS brake ! But yes sounds like your braking too hard.

Use autobrake and the brakes will not overheating.
