Ineffective braking after touchdown

Featured Replies

Is anyone else having trouble stopping the PC12 after landing.

 

I make my approach 60-80 kts, stage 2 flap, touch down near the PAPI, throttle to idle, but have to stand on the brakes and apply reverse thrust to slowdown/stop to get off the runway onto the taxiway. With this slow landing speed it should be alot easier to than this. Seems to have minimal brake effect. Joystick throttle is calibrated correctly.

In the [brakes] sectio of the PC12 aircraft.cfg you could change the  toe_brakes_scale = 0.7         //Brake scalar to 1.0 (default) or go higher  1.2 ...

 

(make a copy of the aircraft.cfg before changing anything)  a line can be made ineffective by preceding it with //

Is it wise to modify the aircraft files to our liking? Have the developers not done sufficient reasearch to supply us with a realistic aircraft model?

I appreciate this, but this aircraft is designed to operate in and out of tight unsealed strips(RFDS Australia mission profile), so I am wondering if the fde is accurate.
