But maybe this is already good on the future cockpit...
I lastly had something odd: wheel brakes almost don't work.

Which instrument is the problem? The HUD, or PFD (on the left)?

My only possible explanation for the wheelbrakes is that the autobrakes script is interfering. Once my virus scan is done, I'll be able to test out stuff.

PFD. Digits in the grey should be 2, 4, 6. From Internal Properties/velocities/vertical-speed-fps, 6 is good (6000 ft/mn). But 1 and 2 should be 2 and 4.
[EDIT] Digits are right, same as the real instrument (see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9541&start=90, my post Mon Nov 29, 2010 ). The scale is not linear.

Wheelbrakes: they work after landing, for speed down to about 15 - 20 kts, and loosen below, where they don't hold (see the red light at the bottom of middle screen). It's difficult the have the aircraft really stopped (unless we press Caps-B). But they hold on if we have thrust!! :o

In the "cabin coach class view" (near to the last), we are in the wind, with no cabin walls. Not very important but as you are asking for these....

You're probably right for the damp on the front gear. Still, the damping effect is nice to see on every gear...

N.B.: I've updated the autopilot inserted as code in my last post (3 minor changes for better stability in ALT and GS Hold at 133 KIAS). For the same FDM 787111410-V02. It holds on in ILS approach mode (NAV1 CDI and GlideSlope) at 133 KIAS, even with 50 % turbulences :) .
Here is the version 787111410-V04, including this updated autopilot http://www.datafilehost.com/download-7ab29f46.html

[EDIT] this subject continues on this thread: 787 and CRJ-200 Development viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9541&start=60 .
