I just did a test in P3Dv4, and the 757, at 115 tonnes, took about 50 seconds to stop after maintaining 30 knots while taxiing on a flat surface. I wouldn't call 50 seconds "a few".


I did not say "a few", I said "in seconds" which proved to be correct since it took less than a minute for it to fully stop. Now, to compare it to OTHER addon aircraft that we have for simulator, that I won't name, and it took 4 minutes and 45 seconds for it to slow down from 30kt to 10kt! And it just continued rolling, which is correct behavior if we apply law of inertia. I stopped there because I ran out of runway, it would have kept going and going. I even shut down engines as soon as I reached 30kt to eliminate the possibility that idle thrust is propelling it.

If you don't want to compare it to other developer's aircraft, just have a look for some real videos of aircraft taxiing. In most of cases they add break off thrust and then just continue rolling on idle, adding some thrust every now and then. I've seen 777(I know, it's not a 757, but it should be capable of doing the same) in 90deg turns without adding any thrust what so ever, that's not possible with CS 757. If you're slow, for example, 7kt and start a 90degree turn, it will stop in the middle of a turn, and I think it should be able to complete the turn with no issues. With CS aircraft you need to add thrust often to keep it between 20 and 30kt during taxi. Same thing is with new 767, I don't own it but I've seen people on Twitch using it. As soon as you bring it back to idle, speed bleeds off too quickly.

I would say that friction model is bad in Captain Sim aircraft, friction seems to be just too much. I'm not trying to make CS look bad, I just want to enjoy flying this aircraft as much as I enjoy flying other aircraft.
