Didn't the Ki84 used to have 3 flap settings??
« on: June 05, 2006, 01:31:54 PM »
Title says it all. I got into the habit of only using 1-2 settings at most for Ki94, but I recall that there should be 3 settings, the third being full out for landing.

Now it's only got two, even when standing still on the runway. The flap angle meter doesn't fully depress so I'm wondering if something is up here.

Am I wrong? Or were there 3 settings before?

I only remember there ever bing two stages.  Combat and landing.

Just confirmed it on a second "un-patched" (v2.07 p02) machine...

...just 2 flap settings on the Ki-84.

Yep, always had two settings.

The problem for me is that you can't even get the first position without being bog slow first (about 175 mph, I think).

Unfortunately, Widewing, is even slower... 160 mph about :P One of the things I hate the most in that wonderful bird. :(

Btw, since I downloaded AH2 (March 2005), the Hayate have always had 2 flaps settings.
