Flap damage

[shreck]

Used to be the flap would come off. Now it still comes off visually, but the effect of it being down lingers, while being unable to bring it back up! How about a 50/50 effect on that! 1/2 the time it TRUELY comes off and 1/2 the time it STICKS ! 

[Ack-Ack]

Don't ever recall the flap damage model being any different than it is now since I started.  It's always acted as though the flap is jammed instead of shot off.  I don't see this changing anytime soon though, just like we'll never see the coddling auto-retract feature being removed.

Well, if it gets shot off while it's retracted the effect is the same as it just being gone.  It doesn't act like it's stuck down, it acts like it's stuck up...

Yea if the flap is gonna be stuck then why does it come off?

That's just how it was modeled on the old aircraft. The B25 and all those after all show the flap being stuck.

If it gets shot off while retracted it doesn't affect the handling of the plane unless you try and deploy the flaps.  If they are shot off while deployed, if you raise or lower flaps a notch it will affect handling.  If you maintain the speed zone for that flap deployment, it will be as though you have flaps normally deployed and not one shot off.  It seems as though the damage is modeled that shot off flaps are stuck at the last deployed position.
