Fslabs A320 brakes!

[Matthew James de Bohun 55]

It's taking me way too long to stop even at low speeds. I have the latest version installed on P3Dv4.5. Never used to be a problem. Anyone else had this and managed to fix it?

What are you using for brakes? button or axis?

if you are using button assignment, go to MCDU Menu > Page 3 Controls > Brakes > Max Keyboard Deflection

Set it to something like .70 (70% brake application when pressing button) or anything that feels comfortable to you. The default I think is .20 which is way to low and results to only 20% brake application.

Apparently fairly realistic behavior. I’ve had issues with them not cooling down as quick as they should in flight a while back. Haven’t noticed it lately though so may have been fixed.

It's a button. I've done that and it fixed the problem thanks!

Thanks, Matthew. I know it's an old post but I found your suggestion beneficial. I started having the hot brakes issue and it seems this fixed it.
