Title: Losing a flap
Post by: xNOVAx on April 26, 2008, 06:11:55 PM: Ok someone explain this to me..

I'm not sure if this occurs in every plane but I noticed it today in the P-47 and it doesnt seem to make sense.. I lost my right flap, but the plane rolled left when that flap was gone.. It was acting like the wing without a flap had more lift than the wing with the full flap.. Why does this happen? I would seem my left wing with the full flap should have had more lift than the wing without and the plane should have rolled right..

Thoughts?

I think they're doing that on new plane versions. Happens with other control surfaces too, I think. When you lose an aileron, its still there, its just limp.

I mean, thats how the flight model models it. I think.

How would you tell the difference?

Weigh a plane, shoot off some parts, bring it back and weigh it again? :lol

I guess I'll have to try blowing them off with cannon splash damage too, just in case.
