Title: too much flight distortion after airelon loss
Post by: Simaril on March 24, 2006, 04:28:51 PM

In FM2 was hit and lost L flap, R airelon, nothing else. Flaps retracted, but HUGE amount of Yaw with nose doverted to R in level flight. When alone again, the plane required both c30 deg  rudder AND stick deflection c20 deg to maintain straight flight. Dropping flap 1 notch (giving assymmetric effects since opposite airelon gone) didnt quite allow neutral flight even with controls in neutral position.

I can see some flow disruption with loss of a neutral sirelon, but this is way too much -- and I anticipate its an unintended effect of the new FM.

If you "lose" a flap while it's deployed, you have not "lost" it, it is just "jammed" -- I know I know, the graphic is gone, it should stop, right? Nope, just the way it's been for ages.

Only way around it is to slow down to the point that you can redeploy the other flap back to even out the lift over both wings.

That makes real sense, its exactly how it acted. Thanks
