Flying with Flaps up in non increased lift position: When there shot off there is no change in flight behavioristics, until you attempt to apply a notch or more,nothing happens, and also no change in behavioristics. I believe this is TOON correct; although I believe there is actually a decrease in overall wing loading, creating less lift, IMO this is correct at least for toon planes. no issue here.
Flying with Flaps DOWN in an IN-creased lift position: When they are shot off, they are still creating more lift or wing load as if they were still there. only difference is you cant raise, or retract or, de-notch, or decrease the lift position. ie. full flap in scissors I get my arse handed but only loose 1 or both flaps. as I limp on home with my head between my knees, I can't get over ,say 150kts because of the extreme lift or drag that is occurring due to my non-existent flaps. or 1 flap causing me to roll incredibly hard, mind you right flap gone, hard left hand roll. this is under no circumstances correct.
I only fly P-51 enough to notice the issue here. I'm unaware if the issue lies in other craft. is there a way to code the flaps to a retracted position when they are shot off and no longer usable? or perhaps if they are only damaged but not missing, leave some sort of texture in place of the flap to indicate that it is mangled?
