B-24J Flap Gauge

When flaps are fully deployed, the gauge doesn't say they are full down.

Some planes are like this, like c205, c202, and a couple other birds

ive been flying the 205 and it doesnt really bother me, i think of it as a 'one size fits all' gauge that just happens to have more degrees of flaps on it than my bird can drop.

I'll look into it.  Any other planes with this problem?

B24, C202, C205, Yak9T, Yak9U, all share this problem. I'm not sure about any of the others, as it seems most of them go past the tick marks and this could be normal.

We want to clean them all up, so if you notice any discrepancies, let us know.

It seems on all the 109s, the flap indicator goes a bit too low when full flaps are engaged. A lot of planes don't end at the last tick marks, it would be easier to list the ones that do.

Last night noticed C-47 was pointed nearly all the way "up" when fully retracted flaps. It was before the first actual "notch" on the flap dial. Didn't think to note full-down position.

There was another as well but cannot recall which plane it was.
