did you really watch the video?
2:06 he slides to his right(hes sliding, not purpose turning cuz the airplane landing gear is static), and then he tried to correct turning the rudder to the left.
thats what happens when you tap the brake. you can make it look smooth but you'll eventually lose control. you just proved that it's not working as it should, will you please assume that?

After reading through this topic I found this video on youtube. Appears to be a textbook hornet landing.

He did not slide to the right the right turn is delberate, in order to turn aircraft around on runways the pilot turns to the opposite direction to allow a tighter turn IRL(it even says this in the FSX tutorial for PPL) you need this for the smaller runways. The good thing about this though is now we can lock one wheel using the differential brakes which allows tight turns that are required on the carrier to move up to the cat. BTW the video the aircrafts full run upto taxi speed was perfectly straight. Also remember you are not yet carrying external stores which makes landings much longer.

This problem can be fixed by modifying air-file. You can use AirEd (freeware program) to open FA-18.air -file, under "1101 Primary Aerodynamics" find value "*Cn_r Yaw Moment - Yaw Rate (Damping)=-2000", change that value to -12000

i've been looking for some entry in the .air file to fix this problem before, but i couldnt find it.
i tried to modify the yaw rate damping to -12000 as you said, but it didnt fix 90% of the problem and it changed the aircraft behaviour in the air
and also, there are aircrafts with the same yaw rate working perfectly, so it has to be another entry, but im sure it can be fixed by just changing something like you suggested
thanks for the help
