Gives them an advantage that they can deploy flaps at high speeds & then stay maneuverable when the flaps should have retracted.

Is that worse than the other aircraft whose flaps retract when they should be damaged?

Have not looked into other aircraft & the flight manuals to see what they do or don't with regards to blow up.

False argument, since there are several areas of "damage" that do not occur, ever. In the case of the F4U flaps (if they really are out of spec) a difference of 20-30mph would be "inventing" data rather then sticking to documented evidence. We have never seen HiTech accept anything except empirical data, so you would expect the F4U to adhere to that.

Anyone else notice the drop tanks, pilon, and landing gear limits?

MAX DIVING SPEED:

Landing gear: 200 knots-230 MPH

Center drop tank: 375 knots- 431 MPH

Twin pylon drop tank 375 knots- 431 MPH

You ignore my point to nitpick a rethorical question.  :D

This is my point.

All the aircraft in AH auto retract flaps at their max deployment speeds.  The F4U models don't include flap blow up, they just conform to the game design.

You have no point, so I corrected your misleading, and pointless comment.

I did, and I thnk this should be changed for gear ASAP, mis-used as a diving break today.

The dive break was operated by a different handle than the landing gear. The main landing gear is the dive break the dive break handle deployed the landing gear only & not the tail wheel. The tail wheel would get damaged at the speeds the dive break could be deployed.

And really the landing gear didn't deploy. The dive brake is just the little door toward the front. I've forgotten id the main doors opened, but I don't think they did at all.

Nope, the main landing gear did deploy as a dive brake with the tail wheel retracted like lyric said.





-----------------
As a general note: it would be nice if the dive brake command in game would be in use in the F4Us and would operate the main gear alone instead of the generic use of the landing gear command as the dive brake.

You're right. I had another look and the "partial deployment" was obviously talking about the tailwheel remaining up.

Also, considering the main landing gear struts are fixed TOO that front door (or vice versa) it would be impossible for just the front door to open and not extend the gear.

IIRC, the dive brake position also didn't lock the landing gear in place.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

According to the manual excerpt posted above the gear does lock down when used as a dive brake.  It has a warning not to extend above 260IAS since the gear may not "fully extend or lock".

Are you thinking that AH should match the blow up speeds?

  I think it should.  It would give more of a "look and feel" of the real thing.

He posed the question to get Lyric questioning his own logic. There is nothing wrong with Lyric's logic.
