A good idea!

Especially for the P-40's, where the flaps will be damaged 9 out of 10 times

Not to talk about my beloved Ki84, Frank!

While we're asking for a new flaps damage model, might as well toss in to remove the auto-retracting feature on those planes that did not have them in real life.

Hmmm. Lost half my flaps last night and the other side was stuck down. Tried to roll me in one direction.

Sure seemed like the missing flap was gone. Had to over control in the opposite direction just to get the wreck back to earth.

Must be misunderstanding what the problem is.

Ack ack, AFAIK, HT said autoretracting won't be changed.

Guppy, it is like we said in former posts.... the missing flap is still in its place and stuck, for the game. Did you film what you described?

To what purpose? To satisfy the "special planes like P-38s suffer more because of autoretraction" crap?

HT already said if he doesn't model auto-retration his only other alternative would be to make it snap off immediately, which the end result would be the same - immediate removal of flap effect during maneuvering.. and for a very specific reason too.
