TDK1044 Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 When flying in the German fighter in the 'Eagles over Tobruk' campaign, is there anywhere in the cockpit to extend the landing flaps? I've mapped a hotkey, but when I press it, it initially displays that it's extending the flaps, but then immediately jumps to neutral when I release the key. It doesn't behave this way in the Hurricane or the Spit. I've never flown a German fighter before, so this may be a user error. ?
9./JG52_J-HAT Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Hi TDK1044, you need to keep pressing it in the 109 until the flaps reaches the desired angle. It represents the wheel on the left side of the seat that needs to be turned to set the flaps. Look over to the left and see the flap dropping while the wheel os turning. There are black markings on the flaps themselves (on the part that was slotted into the wing) indicating what their angle is. 1

Press and hold the key to move the wheel to the left of the seat to lower/raise the flaps. 1
TDK1044 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Posted August 10, 2020 Thanks, both. I knew it was pilot error. ?
clod65 Posted October 18 Posted October 18 (edited) Just about the flaps on Tomahawk, how do you know when the flaps are in half way position without looking at the outside view? doesn't seem to be any indication inside the cockpit at what position the flaps are in Edited October 18 by clod65

clod65 Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Hahaha thanks for the tip, easy to miss that one, before messaging just observation i did put my mouse pointer over it but nothing displayed about flap position I had to look closer and can see the movement of the indicator. But yes RTFM....lol
