Title: 109 question...
Post by: Motherland on June 15, 2008, 09:21:02 PM
IIRC the 109's ailerons drooped along with the flaps for lift. Obviously this isn't graphically modeled, is it modeled in the flight model though? If these weren't removed on the later versions of the 109 we have?

They only drooped 5 degrees at the full landing setting. This was to help lift outboard of the flaps during extremely slow speeds.

Don't think it would help much. Just a tiny tiny amount during steady landings.

Just in case you were thinking about it for full-flaps dogfighting.

Also, I only know of this on the Emil. Not sure about the later models.

That was a feature of the E and earlier variants. The wing was redesigned for the F and later variants.

Now the question, is if this is represented ingame.

AH is based on real performance specs for the 109E. Whether or not the 3D model shows this, I'm pretty sure it's already modeled in for full-flaps behavior, as the tests/performance curves that AH based its FM on already included this.

That is to say, it's not something you could turn off in the real thing, so it would come through with the end result anyways.
