Are the flaps hardcoded ?

I removed all airflap entrys and flap objects from the i16 but the Ai still uses flaps. Is there a way to modify the "build-in" flaps somehow, they are too effective as they where now.

The Ai also got problems with landings, 2 of 3 planes chrash down. I dont know if this belongs to the deleted flaps or to the landing speed I set up.

Nevermind. I forgot to set the AirMax to the right values and mixed up some other things. No problem at all. The AI makes good landings with flaps added again.

Is there a command for the Flaps (like cmdFlapUp) or is there any way to make the ailerons move as flaps ?

Laika-
I think I remember reading somewhere that you can only have 1 control surface per wing (airfoil object). Maybe you could use two different parts, like inner and outer wing, with one having flaps and one having ailerons, and set both to use the same object to animate? I don't know if that would work though. It seems like there must be a way...

The Flaps are working as you described it. Only thing I wonder is that the airFlap object didnt exists in my sm file anymore (I deleted the old P51Flaps completly), but they still work. I dont know how to rotate the ailerons when I press "F".
