Flaps Always at 5

[FSKRipper]

agreed. however i may be mistaken, but i mean when i actually visually inspect the plane with flaps at 5 degrees, they look all of the way up like before when they were at 0. need someone else to confirm before i'm certain though..

 

I would agree on that. With 5° Flaps in HUD symbology the 3D model of the flaps looks like a clean 0° line with the rest of the wing.

thanks for confirmation. you explained it much better than i did :thumbup:

Yup, looks like the 5 degrees of flaps is same as the previous 0 degree position visually and speed wise. The flaps coming up to 0 automatically at high speeds seems slow the plane down a bit and helps prevent over speed in dives which is nice. I'm glad that this is fixed, now I can pretty much leave em in auto and not worry about it!

I haven´t followed this flap-thing for a while, so this may be old, but today in the latest Open Beta I´ve seen a flap position of 04 indicated when in auto mode at a higher speed (520 or something).

As intended, the flaps are reflexing due to high speeds.

Flaps will now start to retract from 5 degrees at mach 0.88, they will retract to show 0 degrees by mach 0.95 in AUTO mode and will return to 5 degrees by mach 0.88

 

CRUISE mode flaps will remain at 5 degrees regardless of airspeed.
