Hi,
Not sure if this has been covered before, but how do you stop the FSX FA-18 from skidding around on it's landing roll when the brakes are applied on a fast landing. Really don't have this problem on any other similar fighters.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Probably a single update but if you really want to change the stock Accel Hornet, look for the Sludge Hornet, completely changes the way the model flies in FSX.

It does the to me. Don't use brakes well turning, and if you can. Keep the nose up with your speedbrake for as long as you can, then you'll be fine

It could depend on what flightstick you're using and where you've put the brakes in config. To me, it looks like you are using right or left brake.

I used to get the same thing. Hit the binders, drift sideways, then do a three or four 360s off in the grass.
Then I figured out what I was doing wrong....don't hit the brakes til you're at or below 100 knots. Use the speedbrake/spoiler to get it slowed on touchdown. Or touchdown on the mains and hold the nose up to bleed off excess speed rather quickly, especially when you come in pretty hot.
Hope this helps. It worked for me.
