Slat sound
« on: June 22, 2004, 05:55:08 PM »
Ok I hate the sound of the slats in the game - not the flaps but SLATS.  That clicking sound seems really unrealistic.  Were they hydrolic, electric, or hand cranked in the real planes?

If I ever remember I will just go in and turn that sound down to zero.

Also while I am whineing...I believe they (slats) were selected by the pilot and not automatic(?)...when I fly the LA7 and dog fight with it they extend and retract frequently...I understand this is because of the changes in angle of attack and speed...but could we get a manual control for them?

The flaps in the game sound like the electric flaps in a Cessna...they WERE hand cranked were'nt they?

slats were automatic on the 109 i know for sure, spring loaded.

if you dont like the sound delete it, or goto sounds and lower the volume for them

none of the above! they are springloaded to extend as air speed over wing drops.

No they were not spring loaded. They were hinged freely. Aerodynamic forces pull them out.

... With a loud bang I might add.

TY GScholz - Maybe the sound and frequency of actuation in the game is correct?  Ok I am going to stop being lazy and research a bit.   I always liked the planes from that era...time to learn more!  

I will turn the sound down though.

NP.

I also see you asked about the flaps. They were electrical on the 109 and 190, so was the gear (and trim on the 190).


Edit: On the La-7 I belive they used air (from a pressurized bottle).

He was referring to flaps... 190s have flaps, but not slats.

He was talking about flaps in that post, which the FW most definately has.

That's what you get for flying the la7.

I flew a Socata rallye in France, this thing has slats. When they extend they sound fairly close as in the game:)

The slats  in the Rallye are interconnected and cannot open separately, was this the case in any WW2 era planes?

Mora, as I recall, the slats were independant.

Flaps and gear were hydraulic on the Lavochkins .....air was for brakes, gun arming, bomb release, engine starting(La7 only) and emergency gear lowering.
