look i been studying military history sense i was 10 so forgive me in my post if I do not put in my post EVERY thing that is related to my suggestions. I assumed that people know what i was talking about and wouldn't give me heat about what i left out. Yes i know that it was a prop. on the spats. Yes i know it was not automatically deployed with the dive brakes. I bet you didn't think that the slabs on the wings of the Me 109 was to keep it stable at low speeds and that it has almost no effect on actual gameplay but they probably put it in there to make it more authentic, like am trying to do. I was saying that to tell you that they should be turned on when the brakes were deployed instead of memorizing another button. Instead of giving me heat on what I left out or assuming I know nothing about the aircraft and vehicles in here, tell me whether it would be useful in the game or not. I though the game was supposed to be realistic, so i was giving suggestions to make it close to that point.
Look, you should have been studying English composition for the past 4 years instead.
Why would you assume anything at all, instead of just portraying it correctly the first time?
I am not assuming that you do not know anything about the aircraft. I do not need to as you have proven it yourself and at a high rate of speed, no less.
First of all, they are slats, not slabs. Second of all, they are primarily not to improve handling. That is a secondary effect. They are a way to maintain airfoil efficiency at high angles of attack, not just "slow speed" although slower speeds are more likely to happen in a high AOA situation. As the airfoil pivots at a greater angle from the direction of airflow, the point at which the flow detaches from the upper wing surface moves further and further towards the front of the plane. Eventually, if this condition continues, the airflow "detaches" or "unsticks" completely from the top surface, and creates a condition in which the wing stalls. In order to delay this action, the slat on the 109 extends outwards under aerodynamic pressure, channeling airflow back up and over the wing upper surface, subsequently maintaining the effectiveness of the airfoil. In a fashion, it MAY help slow-speed handling, but only because planes tend to handle better when flying, as opposed to, when they are stalling.
Prove to me that HiTech has not coded this into his flight model. Why would he not have?
With regard to the authenticity of this game, the emphasis is on the flight model which is about as accurate as one is going to find, not the bells and whistles.
Lastly, to have a cranial hemorrhoid over "getting heat" because of the content of your posts is quite nervy considering the fact the you have told long term members of this community to "shut up" during the expansive career of your first 20 posts which, by the way, also immediately quantifies your maturity level and depth of your intellect.
