HOT BRAKES

It seems that the GSX bug on pushback causing overheating brakes is back. Anyone else noticed? Warning lights lit up like a Xmas tree.

Yes, same.

I haven't been able to reproduce that issue here. Are you using anything like FS Realistic too?

Another thing to add as I do not know if flying with extended gears to cool the brakes is modeled. I flow for 20 minutes gears down up to FL190 190kts ias and the gears did not cool down. Only brakes fan seems to be modeled to cool the brakes.

No absolutely stock.

We've managed to reproduce the issue. When GSX uses a pushback tug that raises the nose gear, it is causing the ground speed to increase right up to 25 knots despite the gear not being in contact with the ground. That then confuses our brake temperature logic. We've updated our logic to prevent brake temperature increases whenever GSX pushback is in progress.

@Martyn This is also an issue on the 146, just incase you've only applied the fix to the RJ.
