Does anyone know the applied braking effort in the default MSFS? My question regards the difference in autobrake versus manual brake. When landing in a good airliner model, you usually get an auto brake option. RTO, Brake 0, Brake 1, Brake 2, Brake 3, Brake Max. When I land I usually select Brake 1 until I hit 60 kts and then I turn off auto brake and apply manual brakes as needed during rollout from landing. When I get close to the desired taxi turnoff I apply whatever is needed to make the turn. My question is, what is the force that MSFS applies for brake pressure for the the default setting versus the applied pressure for auto brake for its various settings?

I guess it is according to the aircraft cfg and the air file within
the aircraft and what the author chose to do. I think normally
that if the full incremented air brake is applied it would be
equivalent to full manual brake application, but again it
depends on the air file and how many increments the
author provided in his panel set up. I think there is too many
many varitables to know the exact force ratio. I usually use
1 increment or 2 at the most upon landing but if you don't
turn it off it interferes with your steering when turning
onto appren. I found a trick that helps when steering
while taxing. F11 and F12 are the differential brakes
that if used properly, can enhance steering. I assigned
them to my joystick in reverse (so right button turns
you right and left turns you left) and put the "repeat"
slider all the way to the right for full effect and just
barely tapping the button at 15 knots can really keep
you straight. And I had problems with turbo props
with high RPMs that wanted to drift when parking
brake was applied and I got into the aircraft.cfg
and played around with the setting you see below
that kept it from drifting. As far as the difference
between applied brakes vs airbrakes they should
be equivalent except for the 3rd increment or
emergency increment. And to see the difference
ya got to have a special program to get into the
air file to see the setting differences. Hope I
didn't rattle on to much, I seen nobody answered
you and I just felt talkative...abd you have
treated me real good here at AAS...and ya
probably know all the stuff anyway...I was just
bored....lol cya!
