Was in the middle of an absolutely fantastic fight early this morning btw my Ki-84 and 2 109G6s - we fought our way down to the deck and were turnin' hard, trying to work the flaps, throttle, and stick all at the same time. We'd turn, nose up, drop flaps, chop throttle, dive back in, over and over again, trying to get that little extra bit of turn that would give us the shot, and listening for my flaps going up automatically (can't really see the indicator in a Ki-84 cockpit).
This was when I WISHED I had the ability to set the position I wanted the flaps in whenever possible. What I was thinking about was .flaps 0=up, 1= 1 notch, 2= 2 notch, etc. command you could set that would automatically DROP the flaps whenever you got slow enough for the deployment. We already get the raised automatically when you get up over the deployment speed (I'd rather they didn't - I'll take the chance on rippin' em off), so it shouldn't be too difficult to get them lowered the same way.
Just a thought.
