I think Wotan pretty much revealed the true reason why most are against the removal of the auto-flaps. You guys want your hands held and don't want to have to worry about managing your flaps and gladly will let the system basically do it for you instead of letting you face the risks.
Nonsense, you AW flap flappers are the only whining about the auto retract flaps.
At least OIO was honest enough to admit his real intentions:
If the retract point was between 50 and 80mph higher for all flap retract points the problem with the 38 retract=spin would be solved at any altitude imo.

That is exactly what these whines are about, just as Grunherz said. This is what folks are against. Most folks don't fly AH with a finger on the flap button. The real good P38 guys going back to the early days of AH never whined about flaps. Its mostly you AW types. You guys must of flown a lot RR over there or something.
What difference does it make if the flaps jam, break or retract? The same limit that you whine about in regards to auto retract would be the same limit you whine about when your flaps break or jam.
You AW 38 fan tards only want a higher limit. HT replied to the whines yet you all can't take a hint.
As for you 'hard core' and 'hand held' BS a button click here and there don't make you skilled.
Those that post well 'John American Hero P38 pilot said we used flaps up to 60000kmh' won't get any consideration in determining how things are modeled nor should they. I can post 109 pilots claiming they could easily out turn spitfires, we all no that isn't true.
There can be no randomization because its to objective and opens the door for greater amounts of whining across the spectrum of aircraft fan bois.
You can manage your own speed and you can hit a button just like every one else. Talk about wanting your hand held...
Quit your whining and adapt.
