A320 A/Skid-NW Steering

[luisgordo]

Hi fellows,

I was wondering of the anti-skid braking function is simulated in FS2004. Does anybody know?

Otherwise, the Anti-Skid switch located on the A320 MIP could be assigned to another function. What are you using this switch for in your pits?

Thanks!!

As long as you don´t skid out of a Runway in a Landing Raining or with Snow I guess it is kind of modeled but that is an interesting question!!

Regards,

Yes, that is a good question.

As a consumer software program from a company that wants to keep it simple for the masses so millions of copies sell, I would think not.

No one knows anything about the ABS on their automobiles, I doubt they've ever even heard of it on aircraft for the last 40 years.

"I got this liittle yellow light coming on my dash that says "ABS", what is that?"

That has got to be a record of MC.org of the most smilies put in one go!!!

I found this link to a software that simulates all these brake functions in FS9 & FSX.

Anybody tried these yet?

[Geremy Britton]

I, myself havn't seen the software before - however looks interesting!
Is it payware because it doesn't seem to indicate anywhere?

[luisgordo]

Yeah, looks like it is payware. There is however a demo version which you can try. There are also other freeware programs you can download (looked like tools, or something). Haven't had much time to check.
