FARPs are too short. 4.36 growing pains?
-
Landed with a heavy loadout but low fuel - as I’ve done many times in previous. Versions, and this time I severely overran the runway and smoked my brakes. Are there 4.36 updates to brakes or am I crazy?

I’m crazy - seems like the brakes perform similarly after some practice. https://www.youtube.com/user/gabessm/videos

@AWmk1 keep in mind that these airstrips are “divert” fields, not necessarely “FARPs”.
Yes, you can use then like FARP, but the lenght off these runways are an issue to AC such as F-16. If the runway are wet your brake capacity are gonna be SEVERELY affected.
From my point of view, the priority in this kind of land is to put the wheels on the ground ASAP! That means less flare and more “hard” landing (keep the angle of approach between 2,5º/3.0º and the MAX AOA limit (bottom of the “[” line in hud) to keep the speed as low as possible to prevent “bouncing” off the runway after the touch
Brakes are now more accurate and they will degrade performance as you use then
Great landing you make on video!

@AWmk1
NICE vid…! You made it with millimetres to spare…! -
@Aragorn 1st attempt at night in campaign I sailed off into the grass and had a dragging brake afterwards!
