"(ie. flaps) I figured since it was modelled it was a real feature on WWII aircraft that HT was sticking to."
Nope. Long standing item on an old wish list asking for that to be removed. I mean why bother having any kind of fuel management, prop pitch or trim? Why not have gear raise itself automatically too? why bother with ground effect and other complex FM intricasies? Bah. Hello wall..

Good Cod I'm getting Jekyllitis!
Also long standing:
1) pilot fatigue. Each consecutive blackout/redout should come quicker and for a longer duration after the fist has had it's onset.
2) the bogus ability to enable auto-trim as an auto pilot when blacked out during the woudned pilot effect or when having a black/red out due to heavy G's.
And how about the arrestor hook? Well

that's graphical request I think and not so much needed as some other features (or removal of a few bogus ones) but it would be nice to have.
