Need help/Suggestion for plane

[deltaleader]

Hi, just to clarify.  I dont really know anything about building/designing FSX aircraft but I am not computer itlerate either...so please be patient with me...

I downloaded and installed the boeing F18 off of http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military19.htm
Filename is fa-18e_sh.zip

Plane works great. However, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make this thing fly faster than Mach 1?  It maxes out at mach .9 and I can usually get a ground speed of 500-525 knotts.  Is there a setting in a config file or air file that can be treaked?  Also, note I downloaded the updated air file but it did not work.

Thanks for your help!

look at the update file in the same block as the original file, it is a link to an airspeed update.

My point is that air update doesnt work for me.

Just a thought. I assume this aircraft uses afterburner. The default key command is Shift + F4. Make sure it's assigned from FS9 Settings/Assignments.
