MiG-3 flaps issue?


Recommended Posts

Posted

It's been over a year, really disappointing not seeing this fixed. All the updates are great but it would be nice to see the flaps fixed on the MiG3.

@Firdimigdi, the principal of work with flaps in the MiG-3 will soon be reviewed.

 

Can you give us an update?  Thanks.

And this is still not fixed.  I've asked the 1C to look into this but if other people also email then it might make them look at it sooner?

 

Can we please have an update on the mig 3 flaps issue?

I don't know if you're aware, but the Dev team is having a huge workforce problem. They're short 9 people (and they're a pretty small team already) and are already behind schedule on much of their planned content. Oh yeah, and Corona.

 

I'm sure that more people mailing them will have absolutely zero impact on how fast this issue is solved. All that it'll accomplish is that it'll annoy the hell out of people who can't really do much about it anyway, for the reasons given above. I would like to see this issue fixed as much as the next guy, but if your tactics are to spam the Devs until they've fixed it, then sorry, but I'm not on board.

Guys,

 

We are well aware of the desire to have a more realistic operation of the Mig-3 flaps. They work as they should, but not how they should. We need an extra input control for that. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to add it at the moment. We hope to add this in the future. It’s something I inherited long ago.

Thanks for the update Jason. At least we have an understandable reason, and the issue is not simply being ignored - that can make a big difference.

Ideally, yes. But as far as I'm concerned, the flap deployment cycle works fine (if a bit quirky) and the major problem is with retracting them. Perhaps if the retracting cycle could be changed so that they stay up if you press the retract button, until you deploy them again? That would at least solve the "Bf-109 style" flaps where you have to move back the flap limiter completely for the flaps to remain retracted, without the need for an extra input control.

Thanks for the update, we really appreciate the acknowledgement.  

 

Could we just go back to the way they used to be, until that additional input control is added?  I don't remember the exact specifics for how we controlled them, but I recall being able to use them correctly where I could just push one button to deploy or retract them, while also being able to control the wheel that limits how far they deploy.

Honestly, I'd be happy to just see the flaps reverted to how they were 2 years ago. It might not have been 100% historically accurate but at least it was functional. Having to spend 20s or so deploying flaps when it's supposed to be a single button press is not only terrible from a functional perspective, it's also definitely not how the flaps were ever meant to be used in real life.

 

I'm flying a lot of Mig right now and I basically have to play without flaps (especially during emergency situations) because the controls are broken.

 

Edit, I also don't see why it would necessarily need a new control input. The hold vs. click should really work. We just need to be able to lower/raise the flaps without having to change the limiter (just like it used to work 2 years ago).

Yep, exactly what I was saying in my post above yours.  I was so confused when they changed it to the current setting.  I saw no problems before.

I also agree. If it worked 2 years before then it shouldn't need a new control created to revert the function. This has been driving me crazy. Disappointed they can't fix it, but at least I know its not just me having the problem.

Need to bump this back up.  Over a year since they recognized that another button was needed to make this operate like the real aircraft and no change.  We got a partial real flap system that is a PITA to operate.  If you're not going to give us a flap limiter button, then revert this back to the previous version.

I agree!!  Just put it back to the way it was!   No one complained that I'm aware of, and it worked fine.  You could raise and lower flaps with a push if the button, and separately from that, you could limit how far the flaps would drop whenever you did lower them.  I just don't get it...

Yes the Mig-3 is an amazing plane historically and actually really nice to fly in-game.
One of the most advance early war planes. None else was building dedicated high alt inceptors with such good performance.
One of my favourite planes to fly.

Such a shame it's being held back because of trying to make pressing buttons more realistic.

Going to bump this again.  Now that drop tanks are dropped there should be plenty of input controls that can be assigned to a separate flap limiter switch.  If nothing else, leave the one flap control but change the flaps up to immediate like it should be so that you don't have to hold the flap level in the up position while it slowly comes up.

I agree 100%, but the reality is that this is unfortunately 100% not going to happen.

I really don't get it; it worked just fine before; why not just change it back?

I've been itching to start an early eastern front campaign with the Mig-3 and holding out in the hopes of getting functional flaps back first... but it looks like that's never happening now, which is quite a shame.

Anyone know if it's possible to make a mod that reverts the MiG-3 flaps back to the way they were a few years ago?

Yes and no.

 

I know and it's not possible.
