PMDG 737 stuck after landing

First I would check brake temps and take it from there.
Also, check brake settings calibration. It might be a problem just related to that or other binding.
Do you remember V ref, flap setting, OAT, lndg wt, airport elevation? All these are a factor.
Something to remember, on previous versions (P3D) was an issue.
I can duplicate your flight, I have some time available for the next 5 - 6 hours.
 

 

This most recent example was PAJN to PASI. I landed with flaps 30, normal braking (no autobrake) and reversers. Once the plane comes to a stop, I can only get it to inch along, even at takeoff power. Btw, I also checked to make sure the chocks weren't set.

That it can be an issue. I need more info, please, as I mentioned.

Thanks

I have experienced the same thing as no tire blew out or anything issue, the plan cannot move with moderate thrust, you have to apply the maxim thrust to push it forward. it is such an embarrassment.

Just tried a couple experiments. One landing with no reversers, just toe brakes. The problem did not reoccur. Next flight was with reversers and no brakes, and the problem reasserted itself.

So it may be something going on with the application of reversers. I checked for double mapping but will look again.

What it shows on brake temps when this is going on?

If you use the reversers as a button to reduce thrust, the PMDG doesn't cut back to idle when you push the throttle back forward.  I've gotten in the habit of pushing F1 to set the throttles back to fwd idle when I'm at about 80 knots,  then It should be fine.  my first PMDG flight ended how you describe, til I realized that.

Huh. That sounds plausible. I'll check that out (I was using F2 to engage reversers).

that's the keyboard reduce thrust command, so that checks out.  hit f2 to engage, and f1 to disengage.

I have had the same thing happen after landing and have come to a stop, I just tap the toe brakes and the brakes release and continue taxiing as normal.

Very intriguing, on my PC if I use F2 to get reversers and just push fwd throttles they come out of reverse without pushing F1.
