F-18 doesn´t light up the speed brakes in panel

(Edit: Yes it light up, though in the day light, it is so dimmed and almost unnoticeable).

And would be ideal to have the sound when spoilers are deployed, and the speed brakes warning in HUD like other contemporaneous fighters, sure the F-18 have this.

And make it reachable of 1.80 Mach like first models, not a turtle like now with approx. 1.46 in FS24 horizontally in cruise altitude, or Mach 1.61 or so in FS20.

And it drinks fuel now in FS24 with post-combustion, sure that is a bug also.

It is an absolutely terrible aircraft, it’s even worse than it was in 2020. The displays are dim and look like a torch is pointing at them. The aircraft wallows when turning during taxiing and porpoises at low speeds when flying.

Yeah I tried it in MSFS 2024 and it’s another total degradation compared to 2020. I fly F18 all the time in 2020.

Hope in next fix if MS-Asobo un-encrypt planes, and modders can reach this plane too and solve some of its problems.

It is my more used aircraft in FS20 nowadays with this essential mod

And waiting that FS24 fix essential problems also and in VR and Xbox gamepad controls bindings and LT/RT trigger axis, to make the leap to FS24.

The course line on the HSI is not displayed and does not respond to its change

I can confirm that the plane is porpoising at lower speed. The flight model is broken now.

the handling characteristics are a joke, and a huge step back from 2020.

My jaw is literally on the ground because of the poor state of this release. how on earth could they go backwards , how can things be worse than 2020 ?

  • Well they are *
  • F-18 flight characteristics are totally dumbed down. it stalls at 180 knots in a mild turn ! sure ! and then becomes totally unrecoverable.
  • Fuel use has got to be wrong. it drinks fuel so quickly i can barely fly 10 mins.
  • there is NO sensation of weight or inertia in the sim … STILL
    • numerous glitches and problems . this release has got to be a joke right ?
