Throwing some light on rates of turn

The Spit flaps at least optically seem correct. They were only landing flaps and there was no way to put them on an intermediate level (which was wrongly modelled in IL2 1946 ). AFAIK, for the seafires, they placed a sort of stopper to fix the flap temporarly to an intermediate level for take off from carriers. As soon as the flaps were retracted the stoppers fell off and gone the possibility to have the flaps on an intermediate level.
