The reason deeper. There is also a dependence on style of fight. At fight with high speeds - flaps jump out constantly and it results to very not to desirable reduction of speed. I very much love this plane and I fly on him much, but absence of system of the switch of automatic system prevents in many cases. This not only my opinion - among my familiar very much many do not fly on Shiden because of them. And it is skilled pilots.

The system is very interesting and in a life was very useful device. In IL-2 ergonomics, therefore release a flap in fighting position is not modelled is equally easy for any plane in a simulator - made by pressing of one button. That reduces advantages of system in a simulator a little.

It was requested to also have an On/Off switch but this was not incorporated, though I cannot recall why at the time it could not be so.

I have understood, what system automatic a flap could make disconnected, but have not made for any reasons? It would be good, if you could recollect why

From Oleg's answers at a forum www.sukhoi.ru, published today:

29. Почему система автоматических закрылков реализована не выключаемой, какие технические причины? Возможно ли реализовать отключение системы в релизе патча 4.09м?
Про реализацию системы - нет. Про причины не знаю

29. Why the system of automatic flaps is realized not switched off, what technical reasons? Whether probably to realize switching-off of system in release of a patch 4.09м?
About realization of system - is not present. About the reasons I do not know

Answers

It is very a pity

Oleg, all the same it can is possible to find out why? Very interestingly.

Thanks!
