TSR AutoBrake Pro - Airbus

Autobrake / Slippery RWY / Contaminated RWY / DBS (Dynamic Braking System)

The Autobrake system controls the deceleration in dependence of different conditions at the braking phase. The braking phase itself starts by touchdown of the A/C.
A corresponding important factor is the weather condition and the RWY quality that follows,
e.g. Rain or Snow, which will prolong the braking distance extremely.
But not only braking distance, as well is the “feeling” of a slippery RWY important for a realistic simulation at landing.

Up to now this important system doesn’t have enough attention and didn’t realize nearly a bit realistic.
But this missing system we now give our attention and putting into action as realistic as needed.

“Down they come all” is not enough in our thoughts.

It contains

3 Position AutoBrake System for Airbus A320 / A330 / A340 / A???

LOW / MED / MAX

DECEL Indication with Offsets for hardware

Brakeaccu output with Offset for hardware

Brakepress output for Left and Right brakes with Offsets for hardware

Brake distance variables on weather factor (Rain, Snow and its heaviness), automatic setting by FS9 / FSX or manual by e.g. Project Magenta pmInstructor

Slippery RWY (vulnerable to weather conditions) effects as Skidding to A/C in Braking Phase

RWY resistance on Takeoff (vulnerable to weather conditions), Rain; Slush; …

Displaying of used Landing Distance, as well displayable on Project Magenta pmInstructor

Self recognition of Project Magenta pmSystems and using of its Hydraulic system for charging the Brakeaccu, without pmSystems the Hydraulic pressure is simulated when engine(s) is running

Brake sound control, ON / OFF or by value 0 - 100

Steering sound control (scrubbing), user contolled by a spreadsheet

Settings

Here you are able to set very important options they are needed for YOUR Cockpit setup.

NO Analog Toe Brakes, Your hardware works not analog OR you would like to use the build-in DBS (Dynamic Brake System) instead of your analog hardware. The setting is also used for Joystick-Button input if no Pedals are available

NO Differential Brake, sets the left and right pedal as only one pedal input, is also used for Joystick-Button input if no Pedals are available

Press High, sets the high press value for the pushed Toe Brake Pedal in DBS mode

Press Low, sets the low press value for the non pushed Toe Brake Pedal

Base ft/s^2, sets the base negative acceleration rate in DBS mode

WXR Manually Set, if unchecked the FS weather will set the RWY conditions. If checked you can set the RWY conditions by e.g. Project Magenta pmInstructor

Sound Output 0 - 100, if checked you will get a Offset output value for e.g. sound programs that can handle with this value the loudness of a Braking Sound. If it is unchecked it just gives the value 0 for NONE braking and value 1 for braking.
