[HOW-TO] F/A-18E Landing Guide

I am new to this forum, MSFS, as well as to the F/A-18E, so thanks for the landing guide.

One thing that I struggle with is trying to find the On- Speed AoA when in full flaps. It seems like in Powered Approach mode, the AFCS “does not” automatically trim pitch to maintain the target AoA.

When the AFCS changes to PA mode the Velocity Vector (VVS) never will “catch” the E bracket and the aircraft always like to descend even though the speed is around 125 knots (almost like the full flaps does not come out although the screen says 40 degrees…).

I have to change AI auto trim setting to Off and manually elevator trim up (nose up) to 40%.
Please support me if this is the correct settings and way to do it or if it can be done when AI auto trim is set to On.
