Antiskid don’t work for me.

[Schlomo1933]

In the tomcat the antiskid is not working for me. If I touch the brakes a little bit to much after landing, the tomcat starts sliding to one or the other side. Sometimes this will end in a spin. I have this issue since a while now (but can’t exactly tell since when, maybe since the suspension was tweaked). 
 

-if I look at the control indicator (alt-enter) the brakes look fine on each input. 

-I also don’t have red marks in the control setup (brake-axis) window

-and also no double bindings 

(I use the thrustmaster pendulum)

 

btw: f-18, f-16, F-4e the antiskid work just fine. 
 

has anyone same issue? If not, has anyone a idea why I have this problem?

Don't rely on Anti-Skid to try and jam on the brakes, the system won't keep up with that and you will slide and spin as the brakes lock up.

Most of the slow down that I do is done just with spoilers, speedbrake, and back stick to use the tailerons as airbrakes. You can either tap or partially apply the brakes to slow down the rest of the way, or let it slow down on it's own depending on where you want to exit off the runway.

Yeup. Both wheels locked means the anti-skid thinks you’ve stopped. It can only tell difference between wheel speeds. 
 

IRL you’d feel it so it’s not a big deal. You may have experienced this in a car. You know you should be slowing down but you just aren’t. That’s super noticeable. In sim not so much so you end up deep in reverted rubber hydroplaning and get sideways. 
 

I can get deeper in the weeds why this happens both in a car and the plane due to designed in rolling stability like toe and caster and such. Which does nothing when locked and sliding.

Thanks for your advices. 
The thing is, in the phantom (which is older) braking without the chute (I know, use always the f…. Chute) is much easier than in the f14. The Phantom is much more stable while braking than the tomcat

And this behavior is just there since the suspension was tweaked by headblur. 
I dont  think it’s a bug. But maybe it’s a bit overdone.

Hi,

Same procedure for me like Ivandrov one. Just one information, some 80's jets had an antiskid use limitation, full braking action applied only under a speed around to 50 knots.

Perhaps the Phantom is bugged there, or doesn't have as strong brakes. It's not nescessarily overdone just because another aircraft exhibits different behavior.
