I have downloaded and successfully installed the FS2004 Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet. I have just started flying it and since I couldn't find any kind of manual I have a question: It seems a bit slow to me. At 30000 ft with full throttle I only reach Mach 1.1. Am I missing something here?
Would be grateful for any comments on this...

Thanks. I'll do some reading and see if I can figure out what's wrong. Maybe it's just that I need to climb higher...

There is a "speed update" available that corrects that issue - max speed is then M1.8.

Thanks! I suspected it was something that needed fixing. At least I didn't do anything wrong... 🙂)
