jadebullet Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I probably did something wrong, but I was doing a practice flight today, came in for a landing, dropped my gear, and went to drop flaps, but they refused to move, no matter how my times I pushed the button. Is there something that would lock them into flight position?
Derbysieger Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Flying faster than 300km/h IAS will do that.

OnlyforDCS Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Yes, keep your IAS below 300km/h and they will work fine. Use the airbrake to drop your speed, i think LSHIFT+B is the default key to lower the airbrake.

gospadin Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Airbrakes on the L-39C do very little, compared to other aircraft. I've started doing a cobra when I need to shed speed quickly. That, or a few high AoA turns. =P My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E
OnlyforDCS Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Not sure if you are joking or not but I've found that airbrakes combined with lowered gear shed quite a bit of speed, enough that I need to keep my engine power up on approach.

Once I'm down close to 200, then yes I need to raise throttle. However, if you're on a 3-4% glide, the airbrakes won't slow you down, even at idle throttle. L-39C is a really slippery airplane!

OnlyforDCS Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Sure they won't. But we are talking about speeds at which the flaps can't be deployed. To get down to 300 kph you can either bleed speed by doing maneuvers or you can use the brakes. :) Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.
