this data, the aircraft’s reference point is placed realistically
ahead of the nose of the airplane as per the manufacturer’s
specifications. Most addon aircraft use the erroneous concept of
placing the model’s reference point at the center of the airplane.
This results in reduced realism and impacts negatively the
accuracy of the airplane’s behavior.)
Hardware toe brakes:
If you use hardware toe brakes such as those created by CH Products,
we would like you to be aware that in order to implement the proper
“tripping off” of the auto-brake system, we had to put some limitations in
place in order to prevent the inherent MSFS logic from inadvertently
taking over the autobrake release logic inappropriately:
To release the autobrake with your hardware toe brakes you must:
• Apply the brakes twice, quickly; and
• Apply greater pressure than the autobrake is currently applying.
This is different than the brake-directed disengage function on the
airplane, but it was unavoidable.
External route export programs:
Flight plan .rte files created with external flight planning programs or
websites will have the runways, SIDs, STARs and approaches contained
within them stripped when importing into the FMC, resulting in just the
enroute portion being entered. Routes saved with the FMC itself will still
retain these items.
This was done because these programs in many cases insert nonsensical
terminal procedure data that will either crash the FMC or cause general
weirdness in the route. In addition, COROUTES do not contain runways
and terminal procedures in real life because they often change with the
prevailing winds and the day’s departure routing. The runways, SIDs,
STARs and approaches are manually entered by the crew when assigned
by ATC even if a COROUTE was used for the enroute portion of the
flight.
