Thanks for Fixing the Mossy........

When will the "deploy 2 notches of flaps" to fix a bug with the F4U-1D's prop drag be fixed?

heya Money,

the "automatically dropping "2" notches of flaps only occurs if one uses "Auto-Takeoff"

if you uncheck this check box under options/preferences/flight  you will not experience this....you will however have to manually start the Engine and take off manually..... ( throttle, trim adjustments (if u need em ), etc.....

as for the auto dropping of the F4U flaps, I personally never had a problem with it, even before it was "asked for / needed"

nor did I ever experience any PROP dragging because of anything...... ( and I am known to fly the F4U series  99.9% of the time )

hope this helps

Hiya TC,

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm a lazy SOB and like auto take-off when I log on from work and go afk to grab a bite to eat.  Still seems like a silly bug
