Hot Brakes

[jay jay 93]

Ever since I've owned this sim, I've wondered if you can overheat the brakes.   I've done some pretty agressive taxing but never saw any sign they were getting hot.   Yesterday, I landed a bit further down the runway than I had hoped and had to aggressively brake.  Before pulling off the runway, I got a master warning light and a "Hot Brakes" indicated.   Low and behold, each of the 4 brake temps were showing 18 (assume degrees C?).  That being said, 18 degrees C is still only 64F, wondering if it really meant 180C?  That equates to ~ 350F which seems a bit more reasonable.  

 

One other note - I taxi'd to the gate barely using the brakes and during an extended shut down, I never saw the temps drop.    Is this modeled in the sim or once heated, they stay hot?

The indicators on the cockpit displays are not direct temperature readouts. From 0-6 it is below 220C. 7-14 is 221C-492C and anything over 14 is >493C. So 18 will definitely get you a nice overheat warning  . Your brakes were likely somewhere around 600-650C, that would probably require quite some time to cool down to normal temps.

 

For reference, I don't think I have seen any indication higher than 8 on any of my flights, even fully loaded in summer time and marginal runway length...

Hi.

 

I saw that you have closed the Brake Temp thread. Could you please add a confirmation that the missing warnings I mentioned are on the tracking list?

I'm still in a conversation about that with the developer/testers.
