Mig 3 Flaps after 4.001 patch

hello,

 

I can't seem to figure out the flap limiter/release of Mig3 after the 4.001 patch update.

 

43. MiG-3 flaps have been corrected - any change of the flaps limiter position retracts them first and then extends to a new position;

 

 

1) How it worked before the update:

- Flaps retracted. 

- I long-press "Flaps UP" to set the flaps limiter to a certain percentage. It set the flap limiter.

- I press "Flaps Down" and the flaps are extended to the pre-set percentage limiter from previous step

- I press "Flaps UP" to retract the flap

 

2) How it works now:

- Flaps retracted

- I long-press "Flaps UP" to set the flaps limiter and nothing happens/changes

- I long-press "Flaps Down" and the flaps start extending to whatever percentage you want/need them to extend. They extend to that percentage and stay extended.

- I shot-press "Flaps UP" to retract the flaps. Nothing happens.

- I long-press "Flaps UP" and they slowly start retracting.

 

 

- Am I missing a binding somewhere? In the key assignments there's only Flaps Up and Flaps Down...

- Or there's no more "flaps limiter" operation in Mig 3, i.e. it was never available and the old system of operation was wrong/incorrect?

I thought it was weird too - Nice to know I'm just hallucinating it.

 

It seems the pressure valve control has been removed for some reason, and the flaps now operate as if they were those of an La-5 (though quite slower)

 

 

This has made for some very awkward landings before I noticed something wasn't working quite as it did before, if you know what I mean :mda:

 

 

I assume it must be a bug.  I can't think of why such an unique feature of that airplane would be deliberately removed like that.

can you possibly answer the operational question on how to use the flap limiter?

 

I've posted how it worked before and after the patch. The 'correction' shouldn't have changed the button/operational behavior, but alas it's not what it used to be anymore.

 

 

1) How it worked BEFORE the update:

- Flaps retracted. 

- I long-press "Flaps UP" to set the flaps limiter to a certain percentage. It set the flap limiter.

- I press "Flaps Down" and the flaps are extended to the pre-set percentage limiter from previous step

- I press "Flaps UP" to retract the flap

 

2) How it works AFTER the update:

- Flaps retracted

- I long-press "Flaps UP" to set the flaps limiter and nothing happens/changes

- I long-press "Flaps Down" and the flaps start extending to whatever percentage you want/need them to extend. They extend to that percentage and stay extended.

- I shot-press "Flaps UP" to retract the flaps. Nothing happens.

- I long-press "Flaps UP" and they slowly start retracting.
