N1K1-J (http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/baugher_other/n1k.html):
A unique feature of the N1K1-J was its set of combat flaps. Whereas flap extension was manually controlled on the Kyofu seaplane, the flaps on the landplane version had the ability automatically to change their angle in response to changes in g-forces during maneuvers. This automatic operation freed up the pilot from having to worry about his flaps during combat, and eliminated the possibility of a stall at an inopportune time.
[...]
However the aircraft had pleasant flying characteristics and the automatic combat flaps gave the aircraft exceptional maneuverability.
Now my question is: Is the automatic flaps for N1K2-J already modeled in AH but not graphically?
-
I think so. I seem to remember HT saying just that - already in the FM but not graphically - but not quite sure.
-
if that was the case, then the manually lowered flaps wouldnt make a difference?

No no, they are modeled directly in the pilot's imagination.
