Perhaps I have missed it somewhere, but how can you lock the flaps in various positions without having them automatically retract once you reach a certain speed....Can someone also explain to me the reason AH has this auto-flap retract feature?....If you forget to raise the flaps, and your speed damages them, that should be your problem....Much like the landing gear...They don`t auto-retract.....

I don't think you can lock them in a certain position.

You can't "lock down" the flaps to prevent them from auto-retracting once you reach certain speeds. There are only two ways to prevent the flaps from auto-retracting, 1) don't use flaps and 2) watch your speed to avoid the flaps from auto-retracting.

It's purely a game play decision on the part of HiTech and we will never see it removed from the game.
As a player that purely flies a plane that is flap dependent, it sucks having such a hand holding feature like auto-retracting flaps, especially after playing the other two major sims that didn't have this feature. However, I can see the reasoning behind it and have learned to live with it that it really is no longer an issue with me as I was already used to keeping my speed under control to avoid over speeding and damaging my flaps from playing AW and WB.
The only thing you have to be careful of is in nose low turns with flaps deployed as it's easy to over speed and have the flaps auto-retract while in a turn which has a tendency to cause a very nasty spin that can be very, very difficult to recover from.

Why would you want to lock the flaps? :headscratch:

That's the reason I lock down my refrigerator. Back in the 90's some dude used to always call me at work and ask if my refrigerator was running. I would always tell him I'm pretty sure it was. He would then say that I better go catch it. I would get real worried and head home to catch it. That dang thing always made it back to its spot before I got there. Finally, I decided to lock it down and the phone calls stopped.

That's a cool story. Did your boss care that you always left work early to go check on your refrigerator?
P.S. What did you lock it down with? Thinkin bout doin something similar with mine now that you mention it.

Dude!!! I did exactly the same thing!

You know now that u mention it the dude sounded like my boss and he always called around lunch time. When I came back my pickles and cheese were eaten from my Dukes of Hazard metal lunch box. The irony in that was the reason I was so worried about my fridge out galavanting around was I was afraid my pickles and cheese would go bad. I bought lots of pickles and cheese and never got to eat them until I locked my refrigerator down.

P.S. I locked it down with Velcro.

That's cool, it was probably an easy transition for you since that's the same way you lock down your shoes to your feets.
-
U know what's funny. I don't mind eatin a dell pickle straight out of a jar, but I can't stand eating a pickle on a burger. Same thing with tomatoes and ketchup. I like eatin french fries with ketchup but I don't want ketchup anywhere near my burger or my hotdog. Tomato is ok on a burger, but keep it off my sandwich! :furious
-
:rofl that's as bad as my kids. They'll put a 5 gallon bucket of catsup on their frys but won't come near a tomato. They'll eat chicken nuggets by the truck load but will turn their noses up at a grilled chicken breast. Go figure. :rolleyes:

That's true and that's why I had lots of velcro.
What most people don't realize is that fridges are a lot like elephantsez. After u lock 'em down once with a big ole chain they think they're always locked down with a big ole chain. That's why big strong elephantsez can be locked down with a little ole string at the circus and mighty running refrigerators can be locked down with velco. Capice?

Too much velcro will leave you constipated.

Hey SunBat, is your nose running?

Hey SunBat, is your nose running?
If u are trying to get me to run to the mirror and check if my nose is running because I am afraid my boogers are going to spoil so you can steal my boogers from my Dukes of Hazard lunch box let's just stop right here. You can have my boogers. I stopped eating them last week.

okay everybody knows you guys are being silly. I had a long talk with my fridge tonight and it copped an attitude so I broke out the JB weld while it was sleeping. That thing aint going anywhere now. :devil

Who's JBweld? I thought those guys all had numbers for a name!

To keep the thread pertinent, did you, or did you not lock down the flaps on the aforementioned refrigerator, and are you interested in purchasing wholesale quantities of cheese and/or pickles? :old:

FYI, velcro was invented by an Italian who had a spark of inspiration after observing his wife pulling her turtle neck sweater off and observing how it hung up on her mustache. :old: :bolt: :neener:

I did not lock down the refrigerator flapping, but my wife did do to incoming nightly raids below the radar for mass quantities of cheese and crackers by a certain RV-8 flier.

you mean you haven't come up with a patch for that already?
-
Ok now I am really confused. Does a running refrigerator still keep the food cold inside? Cuz you think it would work up quite a sweat gallivanting all over town. And, a refrigerator that is locked down isn't running so the food can't stay cold that way either right? Maybe we need to just invest in ice chests to avoid this paradox. Can we all agree on that?
-
Agree able we shouldn't have the flaps auto retracting as we gain speed we should have to do it ourselves and if we forget OHDEAR your flaps are now damaged and stay where they are and now affect your aircraft's performance at high and midrange speed's.
Love the idea :aok
-
My fridge is such a slow runner that its flaps won't even auto retract... :rolleyes:
The good thing is it never runs far, so I know my pickles are always within the block range.. :aok

I took the rollers off my refrigerator to keep it from running. Works good too but someone told me it was cruel.

I used that line of logic and put Prince Albert and his 16lb balls in my fridge. He ate my pickles and drank my beer then they ran off to San Fran together to become life partners :cry
