However, in patch 4.10 for IL-2 on the plane I-16 has only two fixed positions flaps. This should be fixed in the next patch!

How would you implementt that as a button press? Especialy seeing how flaky trim is when operated by key presses?

You'd be better off mapping the flaps to a joystick axis (flaps on a slider), that would be more realistic for what your seeking.

Or you could map them to the mouse axis as zakkandrachoff had done (not that he seems happy with it)

@ zakkandrachoff:

You can map flaps two places, with a button, as you've done, but also as a joystick control if you scroll right down to the bottom of the "controls screen". I bet you've got the flaps mapped as BOTH a button AND an axis. If you have, the ais will take precedence and over rule the button, which is what you seem to be describing

i have a little problem whit the Flaps that are activate when i move the mousse, generaly in the Bf-109.
i try change a key in "controls", end of the list, sayd FLAPS - mousse or something like that , but i cant change it.
someone have the same problem and fix it?

Go to Controls > Scroll to HOTAS section (end of list), find FLAPS, click in front the name, when you see a box, move some AXIS (since HOTAS dond use BUTTON) ie. your scroll mouse wheel (recognize as AXIS).

Done, Flaps now are under control of scroll wheel (Or if you have a HOTAS with many AXIS, ie G940 use some rotary).

But, if you desire use scroll wheel AXIS for control another (Axis) function, ie Radiator?
Repeat the above process in Radiator box, now Flaps in HOTAS section are blank (no AXIS assigned).

By the way, you can simultaneous control Flaps with two keys too assigned in Controls > Aircraft Controls (in begin of list).

If I remember correctly, default keys for Flaps are F (up) and V (down).
Same process (assign AXIS and Button) valid for Radiator, Brakes, Power, Prop Pitch, Rudder, ZOOM...

Or may be it's possible already?

Is it possible to replace the graphic (I presume a BMP?) presented in the map room with a custom one? One showing flight notes and player alterations such as route marking?

If not, could it be a 4.11 thing?

Background:

A squad mate and I have a project going where I write squad coops and post the mission files to him, he then writes the detailed briefings.

Annotating the map room graphic, or even better, the GPS map graphic would be great.

I noticed that the folders for the eight new models of Spitfire do not exist. How to add skins for these aircraft?

Regards.

Create folders with these names, and put the skins there.

.....

Why are you asking about the control?
I was flying as a joystick (Saitek X-52 flaps are assigned to the axis), and without the joystick on the keys!
Currently in patch 4.10 flaps have two strictly fixed positions - cleaned and released for landing!
However, the technical description described that the flaps released manually pilot smoothly without any fixed positions. The mechanism was similar to the manual jackscrew. See the drawing (I-16 type 24), the position of number 17, mechanism and the grip (knob) of handle-operated drive were located on the left side of airplane (left of the pilot):
