How is the afterburner enabled? I can’t activate it having the throttle mapped
How is the main airbrake enabled? As far as I know the f18s have a speed brake like in the photo and I only manage to activate a few small speed brakes
Go to your controls menu and do a search for ‘afterburner’. You can then map the enable afterburner button to your HOTAS.

Thank you and about the airbrake? I can only extend a few small speed brakes but I can’t extend the big speed brake in the photo
I have mapped the speedbrakes but only small speedbrakes come out, the big speedbrake that I show in the photo does not come out
The super hornet does not have the center-line board anymore - it uses the rudders, flaps, ailerons, and stabs to slow the aircraft down

I don’t understand your answer, how does it no longer have it?
The new Super Hornets do not have that ‘speed brake’ that you are referring to - it is literally not on the newer aircraft - the photo you are showing is of a Legacy C model Hornet!

There is a no physical speedbrake on the Super Hornet. When the speedbrake switch is activated, the flight control computers deflect the flight controls to maximize drag while minimizing any pitching moments. It uses other control surfaces to slow down the aircraft as ZuluCorp said.

I did not know, forgive my ignorance, which hornet model is the one that appears in the sim?
Super Hornet…
And no need to apologize… You will not know unless you ask

F/A-18E the single seat model
I saw one really being thrown around the sky (especially for a large plane) at the Abbotsford Air show this summer.
