klavs15 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello, I got the PMDG 747 yesterday and I did a flight but once I landed, I got brake heat issues and my brakes failed. So I did another flight to see why would this happen and I didn't use any brakes this time and auto-braking was switched off and I still got break heat issues. -Thanks!

CRJ_simpilot Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I've learned from my other thread about brakes that you don't apply brakes until 80 knots and I believe you brake until 60 knots. Then apply as needed. That's my best guess. Also, doesn't that aircraft have a brake type selection in the FMC? You could try something else. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ_simpilot Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Wow, I didn't know PMDG has a wheel deflate simulation. Well, in that case I'm wondering if your over the weight limit of the aircraft? Are you flaring? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

klavs15 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Indeed, I am flaring. Also I was doing some touch-and-go's and maybe there was excess amounts of fuel in the tanks as I was doing fairly short "flights" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you flaring? As far as I know PMDG doesn't. FSPassengers does, as does FS2Crew though. I think that's what's might be causing the brakefailure or the blown tire. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense to me. Grtz., Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Huh, interesting. I should get FSPassengers when I finally buy the PMDG 737NGX for FSX. I'm thinking of buying it once I complete my world tour. But I still have a lot of reading to do in a manual I downloaded for the 737 here in the library. I did fly the PMDG 737 in FS9, but I know I wasn't really following correct procedures. I do know my way around the FMC though. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

alverthein Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 IMHO, since you know your way around the FMC you should be fine with the PMDG NGX and for me the challenge is handling the correct time for Top of descent and approach speed to the correct runway and not always rely just on the FMC by not coming in to high and fast.

alverthein Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yes it is but I have found it is not always accurate and I end up coming in too high and too fast ...So, now, this is just me....I start the descent usually 5-7 miles before the FMC says so...and work on the speed reduction during the descent but definitely now hit the below "250" at 10,000.

Rupert Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So this week we all do brakes. :cool: Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
