If I touch the brakes, i.e. squeeze my joystick’s trigger, does that in effect cancel the auto-braking? I usually set it to 2 at St. Maarten, deploy fulls flaps just before touch down and have the spoilers armed and ready. I aim for an approach speed of about 160-175 knots.

Lawndart,

I’ve noticed that the only time the auto-brake disconnects is on the LDS 767 and PMDG 737, I think. Your approach speed is fine for say 10nm out but when you get closer (4-6nm) reduce the speed abit, too about 140-145 depending what your flying.

I flew to SXM on FS a few weeks ago in a MD-11 and 744 and braking was easy, I used 3/4th and didn’t even have to backtrack!

BTW, is there a default keyboard shortcut to the thrust reverser’s in FS-9? I often find myself fumbling around the centre pedestal/ throttle quadrant at the most inopportune of times….

Keep your finger on F2… It’s easy to land at SXM – Come in as slow as possible, not too slow though as you’ll end up stalling. Full flaps, full reverse, auto-brake 2 or 3 or even max and your fine.

With the semi-circle at the end of the runway, try using 1 engine to turn-around, makes it alot easier.

It whent to Paris instead… We should see it sooner or later though.

Great shots as always guys! Not stopping in Indonesia :confused: 😀

OK, failed miserably!!!!!An aircraft went tech in the US and they shuffeled the pack so we didn’t get the new livery.
That’s the last time I give you any hot “gen”!;)
I’m a bit upset that I tried to give you a “heads up” and I was let down.

Don’t worry about it, these things happen all the time, it can’t be helped!

I may be up for it depending on money as I have to pay a big trip off this week. I’ll decided about a week or two before the trip is – Does anyone fancy a trip to Lanzarote though? Beach, sun, beer :diablo:
