Hi.
Yes crash detection was off as i normally fly online , and is advisable , because of hidden object collision , but my feet where resting on the peddles but brakes NOT activated at touchdown , altough i was not far off applying them gently , and i had very slight back pressure on yoke .
Had my brakes been on , i would have understood why it happened , but normally i wait until i have touched down , and start retracting flaps , as i gently apply the brakes , and ease the throttles back , go through same proceedure with all the b17 landings , and this is first time this as happened , but i did notice on the replay , sparks comming from the main wheels , i did not have this view on landing as i was in the VC , this is a video of the replay , from nearest tower view , to try and see why it happened.
On going to the hangar , the only damage displayed was l/r gear needed replacing , but on taxi out at KBFI i had a noisy right brake , just wondering if it might have siezed on during u/c retraction , but if that was the case , then i would have expected seeing a brake unit fault , as well as the l/r gear faults when in the hangar.
regards alan.
