Brakes temperatures, auto brake disarm, center fuel pumps

Featured Replies

Are these issues normal?

1. The brake temperature after braking is always 0

2. The fuel center pumps are switched on automatically when I fuel center tanks

3. The autobrake does not disarm when I retract the speedbrake (this is mentioned in ground work of a flyaoamedia)

Full names - first and last - in the forum, please.

 

1 - Based on how FSX/P3D works, braking doesn't produce as much heat (because the drag scalar is rather high in the sim and speed decays quickly on its own)

2 - Correct. It was modeled this way intentionally. If you search the forum, you can see the discussions about it.

3 - It does for me. Can you explain your process prior to landing, through the landing roll?
