F4U question

[grumpy37]

This is correct.  IRL this would not happen but this is how it happens in the game. 

A lot of things in the GAME that are not the same as IRL....  thats why its a GAME...  Id ask for a way to stop hamerheading lancs and other crazy  "GAME" attributes before changing the affect of damaged parts on the plane

Im not asking for it to be changed, just stating the answer to a question.

I believe the planes that sport the new effects system (B-25 comes to mind) will actually leave the flap on the aircraft and make it look ragged. The ones using the old system have an "on or off" system; if a system is functioning, it's intact. If it's become non-functional, it flies off or leaks (fuel, oil, radiator). Flaps in this game can't be destroyed, only disabled. Regardless of what aircraft you're flying and regardless of visual effect, if your damage list shows a flap in red, it's jammed in the position it was in when it became red.
