Can a wing have more than one flap object (Which is an airfoil BTW) If so, why didnt Mposis do this on the Ju-87s multiple flaps?

I don't think you can have more than one flap per wing. Physical models aren't the problem, but from what I have read on aerofoils the aerofoil is defined with a flap on flap off set of parameters. To have more flaps would involve using more aerofoils i suppose. hmmmmm

Ok I got it... I tweaked the Ju-87 so when you press the flap down key (F) all of the flaps lower. (Without the added lines in the keyboard.ppf file or the DOF statement on the flap object) Just add another airfoil to the wing and give it the flap properties. (airFlap, airObject, airRuntime are the only ones I used. I didnt enter any other airfoil data) Im wondering why Mposis didnt do this in the first place...
