[Official Discussion] Top Gun: Maverick DLC

Any Ideas as to why. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing!

Thanks Asobo and MS for this great present.
Maybe next time a free TR3B triangle? :sweat_smile:

Great DLC!

Everything running smooth for me. The activities are so much fun and thrilling.

The Dark Star activity was scary but I did it successfully in the first attempt.

However, my only grievance is the absence of the Maverick avatar for the pilot in general flight from the World Map. Will you please provide the Maverick avatar with a proper uniform and epaulets?

Many thanks.

Double post :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Here to say: absolutely love the DLC. The low altitude challenges are SO fun, especially in VR. Crazy cool movie tie-in.

Seems like most people like it, too! 1.1k ratings: 4.4/5 average

I just stopped on the runway

1.1 thousand reviews that liked it, out of over 2 million users, thats not very good number is it?

Most don’t bother reviewing (or even posting)…

Have to say the missions are really fun, and the low-level challenges don’t skimp on the pucker factor. Well done!

Dont do missions, and I already fly in the dirt pretty much all the time. Though the Darkstar is a bit more challenging flying at 500’ AGL.

F18 TopGun Super Hornet - I’m not seeing any speed brake effect.

I have air brakes mapped to spoiler control.

I know the Super Hornet doesn’t have the original F18 barn door speed brake on the top rear of the plane and instead uses movement of other control surfaces to effect a speed brake.

But when I move my spoiler control I see no control surface movement, and in flight I get no speed attenuation when I use the speed brake control.

What are others doing?

Does the speed brake even work in this modelled plane?

Nope or never found… But in FS she can hit without tight hooks. xD

Same for me.

EDIT- just saw the tip about turning on menu animations.

Its been a great Month for Simmers, Top Gun Maverick. Just hope there are further updates for people that are enjoying this aspect of MSFS. Not going to be a Gimmick.

It’s not for me personally, but been a great for MSFS/Asobo.

Well done Asobo offering something free.

I haven’t tried after this latest update, but the speed brakes are animated, and I have them tied to an axis. There are two control surfaces behind and on either side of the cockpit that extend.

So what is the name of the brake in the control menus which I need to map to an axis?

Seriously? I tied the airbrake on all my jets. But somehow nothing happens with the F-18.
Didn’t pay attention to animations - don’t fly in 3rd - only the speed

How do we complete the Darkstar mission? I took off, flew at FL 2600 at Mach 10, and land at the destination airport and stop at the runway. But nothing happened. I even shut down my engines and nothing happened. When I end the flight and go back to the menu screen, the challenge is still not completed. I just wasted 50 minutes flying and no achievement.
