why does my acceleration f/a 18  always do a kind of "drift" braking after landing?? it always slides to left or right... is there anybody with the same problem? and how to fix it??

That happens for everyone. You just gotta keep it straight as possible, and use the brake at slower speeds. I usually keep the nose up with the speed brake on to bleed off enough speed, and then use the wheel brake when needed.

One thing that helps me keep it straight is to use the period key for the brake rather than the brake switch on the joy stick, you do not realize it, but when you use the joy stick you still give it a little twist and this starts the drift.  Also before you start braking make sure that you are going straight down the runway.
