Title: I-16 Flap issue
Post by: Butcher on November 01, 2011, 03:48:07 PM: Had one notch of flaps deployed in the I-16, when it got shot off in a fight, however the aircraft became horrible unstable as I was unable to raise the opposite flap (not sure if this can be done or not??)

With 1 flap missing the other was stuck 1 notch down unable to raise at any speed.

Besides, I'm sure you know how the flap damage model works.

That is a bug. No one in their right mind would program a flap to go missing and yet still have it's full effect on the aircraft :)
Surely the wing, missing the flap, would lose lift not keep it.

It's not a bug it's an old damage modeling decision. I expect that will change when the damage model is updated.
