Aircraft with no autobrakes

[TeTeT 1523]

Hello,

 

Odyseus has overhauled the visual model of the O-1 Bird Dog for Unsung. Now I'm testing this and trying to update the configuration, but I run into a - probable - physX problem: The brakes are not applied when reducing engine thrust to 0 and hitting z and/or x. I checked with diagnostic exe and see that Thrust stays at 1 and Brake at 0. We have a custom wheelbrakes script in Unsung, and with that I can stop the plane, but this is quite a hack.

Here's a video that illustrates the problem in diagnostic exe: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3y5h0ymjrsyo1p8443d5g/a3-unsung-o1-brakes.mov?rlkey=ef6kpmomo9n1m5zazi7zpkbg2&dl=0

Any help welcome,

Made some progress on this, the forward rolling was stopped, but it flips over the nose when landing. I had to move the geo lod CoG forward to stop the momentum. Now the next challenge will be to get a good landing characteristic once more.
