Many FS2000 aircraft seem to have an unusally short braking distance.

Q:

Being familiar with the real Sydney (Australia) airport, many FS2k aircraft seem to have an unusually short braking distance on touch down - as if reverse thrust is too great. There's just no point in using speedbrakes. The Concorde seems to me to be the only fairly "realistic" touch down. Have you found a similar problem?

A:

Hi Malcolm!

If there is something that is truly NOT "as real as it can get" in FS98 or FS2000, it is the braking effect. Yup! Concorde seems to be more closer to reality (but not the same as real). In real life the brakes are not as effective as it is shown out here and particularly the early version planes like B747-200s etc you got to avoid any harsh braking since otherwise you will end up with high brake temperature sat the terminal gate where any tire blowout may cause damage not only to own plane but to other planes nearby as well.

It is interesting to note that in heavy planes, after the brake application on landing, the brake temperatures reach their maximum temperature only after about 30 minutes or so! It is a slow and steady build up of the temperature. Of course modern planes have carbon brakes with Brake fans etc etc which are more effective but not as in FS98/FS2000.
