The data posted is not mutually exclusive.  Some planes will have a different max speed for deploying the flaps than the max speed for having the flaps down.  In AH we only have one speed per flap setting, so we have to bridge those differences as best we can.

Pyro, would you consider in the future allow flaps down at 1 speed, and auto retracting at a higher speed? Have 2 variables instead of 1?

Not that it makes much of a practical difference, but it would be a cool detail for cases like this where it's known. (Other planes might have both variables set to the same value, naturally)

Ack-Ack, that is interesting because I do not have that in my P-40F & P40L manual.

The manual I have is;

"Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions for Army Model P-40F and P-40L"
T.O. 01-25CH-1
March 10, 1943
Revised June 20, 1943


The first manual I believe was for the C model and was revised in 4/'43 and the 2nd manual was for the M/N model.
