Air brakes not effective

[Gideon312]

Great job on the MB339, love it so far.

Question: When my airbrakes are fully extended, it doesn’t reduce my speed that much. Is that suppose to be like that??

I have no clue about the effectiveness of the airbrake, but I love the implementation.

The actuator sound, the subtle swooshing and cockpit shaking. Perfect!

The airbrake becomes less efficient when the landing gear is down as it is retracted slightly in order to avoid impact with the ground.

The fm was tested, and is still tested, by two former pilots, leaders and commanders of the Frecce Tricolori.
Also consider that the Frecce Tricolori Virtuali, to which I am honored to belong, do the acrobatic program of the real Frecce in the same times and with the same parameters.
Obviously the behavior of the airbrakes is important for the development of the aerobatic program and, although everything can be perfected, it represents a good simulation of the real one.

Thanks for all your replies. I’ll have to get more familiar with the characteristics of this super nice jet!
