Can anyone tell me what the differences between the settings of the flaps?
Raised , Combat & Pulsed (this one im not too sure about cos Ive noticed alot of planes have only the first two)
Any help would be much appreciated

Ok buddy here goes; raising you flaps makes you more aerodynamic so you move through the air faster. Although speed is good it sucks in turns. The reason is that a slower plane can turn tighter then a faster one because the faster plane has to fight inertia. A plane tends to slow down in turns and well then stall and crash into the ground. What helps a plane stay in the air during tight turns is your combat flaps. Once you’re out of a tight turn or you down the other guy just raise your flaps it will help you gain speed and save your engine some trouble for the next fight. Well hope this helps buddy.
