@OwO Sort of? A leading-edge flap looks like a standard control surface (i.e. F-16, F/A-18) while a slat creates a gap between itself and the wing (i.e. F-14, A-4).
The terms are often used interchangeably though.

@idiotace5000 The inputs for your rotators being Funky means that it will allow you to type your own FT code into the input, which is the menu you are seeing.
The inputs should be Turret1Elev and Turret1Hdg.
@MinXie I don't see why it wouldn't work for mobile. I would try looking at the turrets on my B-26 and reverse engineering them. I could also help if it still doesn't work.
@MinXie Turret1Range disables the turret if a target is outside its range, so make sure you set it up how you need it. The way it is here is also set up to not track targets outside 2.5 km, so it could also be that.
It's pretty hard to say what could be going on without seeing the craft
@JustMiko I'm not sure how you're getting that error since none of the FT here uses a variable named TargetLatitude. However, I do know that error means that somewhere in your variables tab, your FT is using the variable TargetLatitude, but that variable hasn't been created.
I'm really surprised I haven't seen someone plug a controller into their computer to try this track yet. Granted, I'm not sure how much time you would gain with precise throttle control with SP physics.
That being said, this is an awesome run. You were definitely driving on the limit
-(AngleOfAttack/50)*clamp01(ActivateX=true)
Activation Group X will disable the stabilization
Or alternatively,
-(AngleOfAttack/(ActivateX=true ? 200 : 50))
Activation Group X will decrease the stabilization by changing 50 to 200
Hopefully that let's it cobra since the FBW tries to stop you from doing that
You might be placing it onto the hollow fuselage block of your aircraft body or canopy
Best bet is to place it on the outside, then nudge it where you need it and edit the connections manually

@TheFlightGuySP You can definitely tell that it was designed with a very specific purpose in mind. Unfortunately, turning was not that purpose :P
@OkaNieba It is pretty difficult, but you just need practice. Using trim is pretty much necessary and full flaps is not required (or reccomended). Try to maintain around 370 km/h and make a VERY shallow approach with barely any AOA. You'll need a higher throttle than you think too, probably 20-30%.
SP is just not realistic

@OwO The 747 has Krüger flaps which are different from slats and leading edge flaps

It's hard to say without seeing the craft, but you can try:
- Decrease the deflection of your elevators.
- Use flat bottom wings with increased liftScale and move your COM forward (This works usually, but will make your flight model unrealistic)
- Fly by wire control system

Fly by wire
Add -(AngleOfAttack/50) to your elevators' input
You can make 50 smaller to increase stability or larger to decrease stability
