I have mine bound like the pic shows and they function properly. When you move the switch back, the flaps start to lower, move it to the middle position and they stop moving, move it forward and they start to go up.
Note, there is a difference between F-86F Real and F-86F Easy controls, which control set is used is selected under the Gameplay tab. IIRC, if Game Mode is checked, it will use the Easy control setup, if not checked, it will use the Real control setup. Never messed with Easy controls so can't help that. :joystick:
