Hey 👋 

After pushing back with PBE (voice control, if that matters) after the command „stop pushback“, the Brake Fan button lights up in the FBW A320. Does nit happen everytime, but about 50% of the time.

any idea, am i doing something wrong? Bypass pin option is not checked and im not using manual brakes to stop pushback. Parking brake is off while pushing of course.

Thanks

PS: I hope you dont mind that im back Bryan... 🙂

The tutorial did wonders and i enjoyed the FBW version and PBE to the fullest on my latest flights, its just awesomely immersive and works flawless now!

Did you check your WHEEL temperature? If any above 100ºC ( green arc showing) is a normal procedure turn ON brake fan .

If it's a fast spin and the ambient temps are high, it's not unknown for the brakes to still be pretty hot at pushback if you were heavy on the brakes on the preceding flight (this is certainly the case on the real thing on 30-45 minute turnarounds, so I don't imagine the sim version would be much different in that regard). I was doing a walkaround this morning on a BA A321 at Manchester which was an hour spin; the wheels were still pretty warm just prior to the pushout, and it's only 15 degrees here today, which is fairly cool to be honest considering how sunny it is here in Manchester, I know that because I was on board the Emirates A380 at 12.30 and that thing's normally like an oven, but it was actually quite alright today. That was a weird pushback for that A321 too; off stand 42 but pushing to TRP 11 - that cul-de-sac is mad sometimes, especially with EasyJet A320s cranking their engines as they go across the road. 🤣

It has nothing to do with the pushback.

It's purely a false voice detection issue.  The system heard "brake fan on", which is an actual voice command.  Even if you didn't explicitly say it, the system can still sometimes misinterpret any sounds it hears.

In V1.1 of FBW, we're going to make it harder for that voice command to be detected.

Cheers,

 

 

Hi

With the latest beta the problem on takeoff and landing exists.

For takeoff i am 100% sure it is the command BRAKE CHECK. After that sometimes the Co pilot activates the brake fans. On landing i will find out which command is the problem.

Please open the INFO CENTER.

Go to the LOG section.

The log displays everything the speech system heard. 

This way you'll know for sure.

Cheers,

 

a ok. i will take a look. thx

Ok

I have done that. On landing the Co Pilot reconized the right commands but set the brake fan too. Strange.

But did you see anything in the FS2Crew LOG in the Info Center that indicates the voice command "Brake Fan On" was detected?

 

thats what i mean. nothing like brake fan in the info

 

max

The only time FS2Crew would control the "brake fan" is if you issue a voice command "Brake Fan On".

And that would appear in the LOG section in the Info Center.

But you said the LOG shows no voice commands for Brake Fan On being detected.

Are you using the DEV version of the FBW?

 

yes the dev version always up to date.

Max

Well, if there's no voice command detected in the LOG, then it's a mystery.

Try it without FS2Crew running to ensure it's nothing the aircraft is doing.

haha...ok i will try

 

max

Ok

 

Brake fans always been set after approach check without any line in the logfile. very strange.
