Airfile - Flaps - Lift

Featured Replies

Hello!In which part of the airfile can I change the lift effect of each Flap-setting seperately?Thank you,Holger

That's not something that can be done.The lift generated by the flaps is based on a coefficient of lift value that represents a single degree of flap. FS simply multiplies that value by the number of degrees of flap that are in effect.

Actually, it's easy to customize lift and drag for flaps in the aircraft.cfg, by using three separate flaps tables as below (sample data only). The first table gives the degrees settings displayed on the panel, while the second and third set lift and drag for each flap setting.// this table is for displayed flap settings[Flaps.0]type=1span-outboard=0.500extending-time=11.000system_type=0damaging-speed=250.000blowout-speed=300.000lift_scalar=0.000drag_scalar=0.000pitch_scalar=1.000flaps-position.0=0.000, 0.000flaps-position.1=20.000, 0.000flaps-position.2=30.000, 0.000flaps-position.3=40.000, 0.000flaps-position.4=50.000, 0.000//this table sets flap lift[Flaps.1]type=1span-outboard=0.500extending-time=11.000system_type=0damaging-speed=250.000blowout-speed=300.000lift_scalar=1.000drag_scalar=0.000pitch_scalar=0.000flaps-position.0=0.000, 0.000flaps-position.1=34.300, 0.000flaps-position.2=44.500, 0.000flaps-position.3=47.200, 0.000flaps-position.4=50.000, 0.000//this table sets flaps drag[Flaps.2]type=1span-outboard=0.500extending-time=11.000system_type=0damaging-speed=250.000blowout-speed=300.000lift_scalar=0.000drag_scalar=1.000pitch_scalar=0.000flaps-position.0=0.000, 0.000flaps-position.1=5.000, 0.000flaps-position.2=10.000, 0.000flaps-position.3=30.000, 0.000flaps-position.4=50.000, 0.000

Good info, now all we need to know is HOW to get that sort of data on the bird your editing....Maybe others know, but I don't, and this G-111 is making me NUTZ :!
