Nice. I made a suggestion to add turbulence to the leeward side, maybe Austin will implement that too.

Rotor cliuds /Turb on leeside would be great to have indeed !

Better flap modelling too, specially for airliners and for gliders which can also benefit from negative flap settings, which aren't presently modelled...

Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.

(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)

Plane maker apparently supports negative flap deflections. I don't know if it increases or decreases Cd_min for negative deflections though.
