So yeah, increasing the toe_brake_scalar helped with the braking on landing rollout. The problem begins though, in the air, when it's very difficult to get slowed to approach speed, 85-90 knots. So Bill, I'll sure try the tip re: flap _drag. Don't have this issue with other DC-3s. Wish I could remember which cfg I was using. Might help to go back to the original plane to see how IT does with the speed. I do like the DC-3C from Flightsim. Handles very nicely and definitely speeds are easily controlled.
Will report back Mike

The real DC-3 brakes can't be as bad as has been said. There's a comedian in South America that makes his DC-3 bow and nod as he goes down the runway after landing by cunning mixing of power and brake. There are videos to be found on the web.
Likewise, the DC-3 in FS should descend OK prior to landing. Using the MAAM-SIM flight dynamics, which were supported as being very accurate by several DC-3 pilots, it descends nicely at 20" MP and 1700 RPM at 500 fpm or a little more which I think are the proper figures. Of course, coming in with too much fuel will affect that.
