Flap monkeys !

Yes, there's a "Flap monkeys",109 drivers.
I'm a big fan of 109 and I've always flew it back in WB times, but for impartiality,
109's flaps are WAY too over modelled.
Please fix it !

Yes, Janneh, I'm a flap monkey.

I get out of compression at will and make many stangs overshoot, even when they lower their gear and cut their power

Hi Hristo !

Yes, You can do many funny things
with 109, like shooting me down  

At first I flew 109 only, but then
I tried LA-5. It was quite a shock,
when finding out that You can't fly anymore
to runway 400mph and 10 meters before
RW starts, hit the brakes and land 100mph.

Nope Hristo, You aren't any monkey.
You showed it to me back there, when I
managed to ditch  

cu up there !

ps. I must admit 109's flaps are great weapon
and people who's flying it must be crazy if
not using them (atleast I do !).

Ahem.. My name is Janne Hakala and I'm a flap monkey...

Haven't flown spit, but if it has this
air break too, then is modelling wrong
or right ?

That is an issue that they are aware of and Pyro said will be corrected.

One other thing that need to be fixed is the
speed the flaps lower and raise
even on the web page it bragged about the
realistic gear and flaps. I have yet to see
any real planes that can raise and lower flaps that quick. Im sure they are working on it tho. Also on the plus side the gear modeling is great has anyone noticed the doors that lower on the p-51 before gear is raised. at first I thought there was a bug cause it took so long for gear to start up. but then I noticed the inner gear well doors having to open first. Very cool HT <S>
