    2024 models brake fade, which could be relevant if you've been practising circuits and have heated up your brakes. One of the debug tools in Dev Mode shows brake effectiveness and live values - check the 'Aircraft' > 'Wheels' overlay. The yellow lines coming from the wheels show the force direction and the length indicates the amount of force. [image: 0f23a377-259a-4cac-a1ac-1853f7236db2.png] Here, the aircraft is turning so there is a sideways force. When braking, the force is backwards etc. With the Duke, the force lines from the main wheels are always vertical, which might be an indicator of a slightly different implementation in the sim, as the handling otherwise feels correct. I'm not meaning to pick at Nick's incredible work, so have no idea what this difference actually means. Here you see a high force on the left wheel and small force on the right wheel, due to a tight right turn (but the lines do not 'lean' to show the sideways forces as for the C152): [image: 05058e25-d0e6-4cab-a7ce-ab834275eb8a.png] Finally, the overlay window shows brake temperatures and effectiveness. As they get hot, the effectiveness reduces. Here's a sample after taxying around with my left brake on: [image: a7d4a1bc-3fe3-48b0-98cc-05849785eca1.png] I'm applying 100% brakes but am only getting 70% effectiveness due to the brakes being 229°C! Also, since you asked, the overlay shows the surface type under each wheel and it changes dynamically along with the lateral and longitudinal forces: [image: c8d5f7d9-1e67-4456-aca4-af1146d8368c.png] So while I can't give you any definitive answers, I can perhaps give you a way to check/test your situations and understand what might be happening. It's fun to look under the hood and see the magic happening Regards, Martyn

    @RealPax i will do that latter on when I get home and will incorporate as much info as I can on this. Only have time for a small 30 min flight or so tonight.

    @RealPax Yeah, that's a good idea. I currently do not have that much time to fly, so I usually stick with familiar terrain to avoid having to prepare the flights for too long

    Thanks for the link! I’ll watch this tonight with a brew. Just had a quick look……so familiar when the camera zoomed into the various flight deck panels. Just Flight absolutely nailed this beauty. The RJ and 146 remain 2 of my favourite modules in the game.

    @Smilzo82 I'd recommend you contact the person at JF support that wrote the email. He is probably best placed to deal with this.

    I personally use the "Speedbrakes" control assignment for the airbrake lever: [image: 7c911fb7-7a1b-4fe2-be88-fd6cbe8c44d2.png] Mark - Just Flight

    I am now flying the B36T. I still shake my head about needing to manually twist the needle after every waypoint on the GPS flight plan, if I'm using TDS GTN750Xi. I just want to check in as it's been a year since the above dialog - is there still no way for the aircraft's HSI to automatically follow the GPS flight plan? Just can't get over someone who would invest in a turbo-prop and the surrouding technology, and not have the equipment to reduce pilot workload, keeping the eyes outside of the aircraft as much as possible. Just wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything. TDS benefits: includes the IF in the transition list for RNAV's with no feeders (ex: KSMO RNAV 21, PMSS does not show DARTS, TDS (correctly) does. PMSS benefits: allows me to DTK sync to simulate having the equipment that can follow the GPS flight plan.

    @ploodovic said in Custom Registration confusion: Have you checked, that the EFB option to have the registration visible, is enabled, in the respective versions? Bingo.. that was it! Thanks.

    @AlphaEcho Hi Mike, Thanks so much - no wonder I couldn't tfind hem. I must have tried almost every other binding I could think of to do with roll, trim, AP, etc. It was driving me mad. Cheers, Neil.

    I'd buy a V35 in a heartbeat, but what I'd truly love to see is a Queen Air. I remember there was a freeware model available way back in the FS9 days, since then, nada. A Black Square Queen Air... now you're talking unique and wonderful all in one aircraft It's nice to daydream...
