spitfires did not have variable flaps!

[SEE]

Geoffrey Wellum describes in detail the problem he and his flight of Malta Bound Spitfires had taking off from the Aircraft Carrier. They had their crews make up wedged shaped pieces of wood and jammed them into the flaps then retracting them to hold the flaps at a desired angle. Once in the air they had to lower flaps and hope that the blocks of wood would fall away.......necessity is the mother of invention...and it worked .....

Spitfire had only landing flaps configuarion ( flaps up and full down) but Hurricane had postioned flaps ( more flaps postion)

Thread should be deleted. Poster didn't even check the game to see if his claims were correct.

That may be so, but the fact remains - it's listed in the manual as having 4 different flap settings on page 84 under Chart 3. Climb and Turn Performance. 1) Landing 2) Take-off 3) Combat and 4) None.

It's a valid point.

Then lets remove that remaining fact - it's correctly modelled ingame and, apparently, a mistake has been made in the manual. Alright now?
