I guess that is the most probable reason why they did it. We departed from San Diego and it was extremely hot. I am travelling on a trip next week. I will try to see if the pilots do that again, or if it is just a one time thing for hot environments.

Hello,

I was on a Southwest 737-700 the other day and I noticed that after the pilots started engine 2 they turned the right pack on and then both packs on after both engines started. I normally only turn both packs on until both engines are started. I tried this different style with the pmdg ngx and it worked. Could anyone explain why this is done and if this is done on a normal basis?

Because I'm a total noob and can't find out how to attach images: http://postimg.org/gallery/13r1sajl2/6223033d/

Notice the speed trend stays the same on all autobrake settings. (except for autobrake 1 and that's because the engine wasn't idled.

I disabled the joystick brake button to make sure i wouldn't accidentally press it. I ran the test once again, and it seems like I am still getting full autobrake.

Okay. So after hours of recording, I have been able to test autobrake with real landings. I have noticed that autobrake 1 still uses MAX braking. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that my brakes are a button, not an axis since i use a joystick.

I accelerated down a runway and then idled the engine. I set the autobrake to 1. I did the same thing again and set the autobrake to MAX. I recorded both trials, and found the change in speed person 3 seconds. They both were the same.

Hello,

When ever I use the autobrake on landing, I found that autobrake 1, 2, 3, and MAX all use max braking. How can I fix this? Thank You.

Honestly, the lighting doesn't seem that bad. I am sure you can live with your almost perfect fsx.

You know we should just post once and edit our post according to what the other person said.

btw, do you think it might be the default lighting?
