Flap interaction with ground on belly landings.


Recommended Posts

Type of improvement: damage model/physics

Explanation of proposals: I did a belly landing in the 109 today, with full flaps down. After switching to external view, I noticed that the aircraft was resting on the ends of the flaps and on the nose. I'm fairly certain that the landing flaps would not have the strength to support the weight of the aircraft, nor remain down during a belly landing. So perhaps it would be possible to have them become bent or atleast forced into a shallower position during a belly landing? Also, if the aircraft could leave a trail in the snow, like the wheels do, that would be a wonderful touch. 
Benefits: More convincing belly landings.
