Flaps+spoilers tester

234 me6471  8.9 years ago

This aircraft was created purely with the intention of creating flaps and spoilers on the wings. I was initially appalled by the vanilla airbrake, it was so small and my aircraft had to be covered with the things to slow them down properly. Then I began experimenting with the rotators. I figured i could use them to create the kind of spoilers you see on modern jet aircraft. So i used them to raise a portion of the wing, and even better, the game simulated the effect perfectly! I figured i could also create a mechanism to deploy flaps for take off and landing. This however was more aesthetic, as the game didnt simulate them as well. Nevertheless, the flaps on this aircraft look great and the spoilers are amazing at slowing down the aircraft. This is just a template, im working out how to incorporate my intergrated spoilers into the rest of my fleet, instead of having to use those ugly airbrakes.
