737-400!Autobrake gauge question

Postby JBaymore » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:31 am

I decided that I want to modify my BAe 146-200 aircraft to feature autobrakes.

The 'Autobrake' gauge is within the '737-400.gau' which is a multiple gauge file.

As to modifying the effectiveness, I don't have a clue.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Hi John.

You can adjust the braking strength in the .air file (use AirEd), in line 1101 primary aerodynamics. This certainly affects the parking brake, although I don't know whether it would affect the wheel brakes too - don't see why it shouldn't.

Martyn,

Thanks for the idea.  I'll dig into it.  Of course if I edit this opart of the 737 comples multi gauge file... it'll change the 737's brakes too  ;).  But since I never fly it.... probably does not matter.

In the config file of the aircraft... there is a parking brake scalar value.  Will changing THAT change the brake's effectivelness so I don't have to go into the .air file?  


And have you ever "published" here on SimV the APU gauge stuff that we were working on?  I am still using the beta version that was done a long while ago.

best,

....................john

John,

[brakes]
parking_brake = 1
