1/ over heat the brakes and lose brakes altogether
2/ run off the end of the runway
3/ piss off your crew chief.
So on touch down 1st keep the nose up by pulling gently back on the stick, open the airbrakes and bleed the speed off. When the nose comes down then apply brakes and slow down and stop. I notice fael that you are using parking brakes as well another bad idea. You have to use the toe brakes as the park brake in some aircraft may not allow the ABS or anti skid system to kick in. BTW in a car if you lock up your wheels you can also spin out the way you did with the Hornet in that video. Park brakes are for parking toe brakes/airbrakes and aerobraking is for stopping.

You got it. I knew a guy who's callsign was "Torch" because he stomped on the brakes a little too hard one time and the brakes caught on fire. There's no hurry to stop when you've got 10,000ft in front of you.

Is the Anti-Skid function is being set prior to landing?

fael,
     I don't have these problems when I do shore based landings.  As soon as the main gear touch down, I chop the throttle to idle, the nose gear will touch down in less than a second, and when I am in a three point attitude, I stand on the brakes (yea, I know, wrong technique, but it's a simulation).  I suggest you check your aircraft.cfg file.  In the [contacts] section, make sure the brakes are mapped to the left and right landing gear.  The nose gear mapping should be zero.  I also have the following parameters defined in the [brakes] section:

toe_brakes_scale = 0.9
differential_braking_scale = 1
hydraulic_system_scalar = 1
auto_brakes = 0

Hope this helps.

Its automatic and should already be set I don't think you should have to mess with it unless you have a problem with hydralic pressure or something.

fael097:
i'll say that again.
im not stupid, its obvious that im not doing what is supposed to be done, its obvious that you dont just pull the parking brakes to slow down, im doing that for testing sake.
i did that with all the airplanes in this game, and im showing 4 of them on this video, theres not a single one reacting something like the f-18.
