Friction on wet runways seems broken

There seems to be a bug in friction on wet surfaces. It requires a lot of power to get the aircraft moving. I have tested this with a couple of different aircraft and they all behave the same (pmdg 737, fenix 320). I would expect the surface to be more slippery when it’s wet. Instead it seems it is reducing braking distance rather than increasing it.

Very nice. When is it fixed?

Never thought about that to be honest, especialy during taxiing and take-off runs.
Landing and braking on the other hand is a different cookie.
I’m not into airbusses but Boeing has a auto brake dial knob.
Off, 1, 2, 3, max.
Selecting a setting depends on runway length and landingspeed.
Not sure if rain/snow influences are (acurately) modelled in this sim.

Happy :small_airplane:

Airbus has autobrake.
The problem here is that there is too much friction. I would expect a plane to have less friction on a contaminated runway
