Default bf109 radiator indicator rods are wrong (reversed)

Hi,

It appears that the functionality of the radiator rods on the wing roots are in fact reversed.

Here is an excerpt from the Messerschmitt manual for the Emil:
http://109lair.hobbyvista.com/techre...als/bf109e.pdf

Anzeigevorrichtungen fuer Kuehlerklappenverstellung auf Tragflaechen (versenkter Stab: Klappe auf).

Translated:

Devices for displaying the cooler flap adjustment are on the wings ( sunken rod : flap open)

The above doesn't appear to be a typo as the current inscriptions on the rods don't make sense as they line up with "Zu" (closed) when the rods are fully extended, which in the current implementation of the game happens when the radiators are fully open.

Right now when you close the flaps fully the rod disappears if you open them a little it says 'Auf' which is correct but then the fractions following don't make sense and the 'Zu' (closed) part at the bottom doesn't make sense at all as that only appears when you currently have the flaps wide open.

So to recap; the rods should be fully recessed, as in not visible, when the radiators are fully open. The rods should be fully extended when the radiators are closed. At the moment in the game it is completely reversed and appears to be wrong, going by the manual and by the inscriptions on the rods.

The mechanics would also make sense as closing the radiator would push a rod up through the wing if you attached one to the flap.
