F18 air brake and hook

[WalkinDude]

Does the air brake on the F18 not work? I've tried assigning the command to my keyboard and to a button on my flight stick but it doesn't work. Same with the arresting hook. Nothing I try will make it deploy.

I couldn't get those to work either.
Well, hook doesn't make much sense anyway, as you won't find a carrier to land on.
And for the airbrake...this aircraft in particular shouldn't be taken to seriously in this sim.
It's more of a toy....I bought aeroflyFS mostly for the gliders, which seem to be modelled excellently.

I have found that hook is for the gliders. It releases the tow line. Still haven't figured out the airbrakes.

The air brake is throttle. On joy stick throttle control becomes airbrake control. Gliders only also.
