The engagement of flaps

[hblair]

Was flying around talking with my squaddies on RW tonight. We were talking about keymapping, and I realize I never engage my flaps in combat in this game, not even one notch, except of course for landing.

I fly mostly B&Z anyways. Am I the only member of the nonflapper   club?

heh, I dont think I have had a fight where i wasn't moving the flaps up n down  

HB fly the P-38 some... you will become a religious flaps user

I think I used flaps once in combat.  That being said, I should say that I do plan on working on them more now that they are modelled to improve lift.

 I have all my buttons set for trims. If they ever add the KI84 im in trouble.

Flaps use in combat was common only for a few types in WW2 as near as I can tell.

Couldn't fight inthe HOG without flaps... saying that i'm usually desperate when i have to use them LOL
But nothing works better than get your opponent (who's not usiing Flaps) into a rolling scissors and kill him in the less manouverable plane

True but Funk they didn't furball like we do  

I've used the flaps in everything and they work well to get 'over the top' or cut that turn a little tighter when really slow.
