P51D Flap Glitch

[Ruler2]

I just got my left flap blown completely off a few minutes ago, and when I pulled up my other flap to counter rolling, my plane rolled to the right, as if my left flap was still there and generating extra lift. I don't know if this normally happens, or if it was a glitch, has anyone else had this happen?

It's how the game is.  The 'destroyed' flap isn't really gone, it's jammed in the position it was at when it took damage.  To counter-act the roll, you need to raise/lower the undamaged flap to the same setting as the damaged flap.

i had this problem,ina F4U-1A were i lost the right flap and COULD NOT raise the left one (unless im just an idiot that cant find the command for it)

If the flap damage is modeled for stuck flaps....why not have the visuals to match?

Or modeling to match    But hey, they do their best!

Oh yes, their work and character are greatly appreciated every day!  I was just offering a suggestion that may or may not have been brought up and answered in the past.

Do you have a film?  If you do, you should definitely submit it as a bug if you couldn't raise the undamaged flap after the other one has been damaged.  I've seen others reporting getting damage on one side of the aircraft and it's affecting the opposite undamaged side.

I had somewhat of the same problem,but it wasn't the flap that was bugged, it was the gauge. I could use the other flap normally, but the gauge was stuck at whatever position I had the broken flap at.

So one flap was stuck and the gauge was stuck correspondingly....?

Sounds more like a feature than a bug.

Filmed P47 D25 with same problem.  Problem as it affected me:  Flap damaged (gone)  = reaction of plane, rolled in the direction opposite of what I would expect.  Tried to correct with trim, stick position and operation of undamaged flap.

Edit:  Just noticed in film viewer the stick input is not displayed.  Speed was also affected, so the flap had to have been jammed but not showing.

I think it's a feature as well.  As long as I've been playing AH, the flap gauge has always been stuck at the setting the flap was damaged at.  It lets you know where you have to set the undamaged flap for level flight.
