F-18 Flaps
lasallecrew2:
I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue... I just purchased the Acceleration Pack and noticed that when the F-18 is on the ground, the flap settings work fine. As soon as I get shot off the carrier, the flaps (set to 1) are suddenly put to the "up" or clean position. When I extend the flaps from what should be clean to "half", it shows and acts as if they are "up" and when I put them as "full" then show and act as if they are half.
Anyone else have this issue? Anything I can do?

It is the autoflap feature. :-\

It's not an issue: the real F/A-18 has Autoflaps. They automatically extend and retract, depending on certain parameters in the flight, like speed and angle of attack. In this airplane you don't directly control the flap position with the flap control, you control the amount of flap extension that the autoflap logic is allowed to use.

This kills me every time i read it, as a Airframes/Hydraulics Mech on the F-18 this is compleatly false. The 18 has 3 flap selections, AUTO, HALF, and FULL... the ONLY time the flaps are controlled by the FCS is when its set to AUTO... HALF is HALF and FULL is FULL... read the A1-FA18AC-570-100. I wont go off on a compleat rant, becouse you guys did a relatively good job with the 18 in acceleration, but this is one of the "works as intended" that makes me realize there was no real consultation involved in development.
Aeroman:
I'm sure they had consultation; could just be a result of misunderstandings and misinformation.
