Hi @TJTurner
Does the temperature continue to rise indefinitely, or does it eventually start to decline? If so, how long between turning the fans on & the start of the decline?

Its was rising indefinitely or a least until I reset it. But I watched it go from 320 to 550 at least.

Continually rising, currently at 490 and rising

The same vor me. I am on xbox series x and have the same problem. The brake fan doesn`t work or I am doing something wrong.

That is not uncommon.
Starting the fans will not immediately result in declining temps.
There is a lot of metal there, and when it gets hot there can be enough heat in that area that the sensors will continue to register an increase in temperature for a while.
It can take some time for the temps to show a decrease.
A proper check to see if the fans do anything would be to see the difference in two similar landings.
One with the fans off as compared to when they were on.

Well first, we are comparing what is available in the simulator, not the real aircraft. Also we are comparing the performance of the brake fans before and after the AAU 3 update.

Having said that, it appears to me at least, that the functionality has become backwards. What I realized was that leaving the Brake Fans off, with chocks set and parking brake disengaged actually starts an immediate cool down of the brakes. It’s when I had the brake fans on after a Hot warning that they continue to heat up. This behavior was in reverse prior to the last update.
And that doesn’t sound right at all.
