Tried again today and the same thing happens, no brakes, speed won’t drop between 20-25 knots and won’t turn. The only way to stop this is to levitate the aircraft meant for crashes and then drop back down and all is good, it’s really odd, it’s the only thing that’s stopping g this being an awesome aircraft.

Are you 100% sure that engine thrust is completely IDLE?

I would love to see a video as we have been trying to replicate this

Can you maybe post a screenshot how idle should look like? Yesterday I flew with the IAE engines and after landing the EPR was between 1.2 and 1.4. The hardware levers were in idle position.

We are going to test same situation, but noticed that the streamer had PARKING BRAKE on during landing. Possibly a bug related to the pushback tool from our EFB.

Just tested, it seems you need to disable completely autobrakes as they are taking priority over manual braking if they are still active after landing. We will fix it on the next update on disabling autobrake.
