November 4, 200718 yr When flying straight and level at around Mach 1.6 the F-18 becomes overstressed. Is this accurate?Thanks,John

November 4, 200718 yr Note the "Placard" line on this F-15 chart. Maximun mach due to structural limits changes with altitude.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/179818.jpg
November 4, 200718 yr Hahahah. Yeah, the flight model has some quirks. At the other end of the flight envelope, I often just can't get the plane to slow down. Trying to lose altitude quickly for any kind of rapid military approach / pattern is difficult. With about ~5k lbs of fuel onboard, gear down, full flaps, cut throttle, in only a 10 degree descent, the FSX plane GAINS speed. I guess it's time to increase the drag scalars in the aircraft.cfg. Overall I'm still loving FSX Acceleration though, and this Hornet especially.
