MiG-3 flaps are still broken

[Valis]

Flaps Down: Long Press - Increase Limiter Angle

Flaps Down: Short Press - Lower Flaps (to limiter)

Flaps Up: Long Press - Decrease Limiter Angle

Flaps Up: Short Press - Raise Flaps

Pretty sure this is how it's supposed to function in-game, but currently it doesn't work and (if Google search is any guide) hasn't worked in five years.

No, that's how it used to work.  It was close to realistic except in RL you could only adjust the limiter with the flaps raised, and it was controlled by two controllers, a wheel for the limiter and a short lever for the flaps (both on the left side of the seat).  The devs changed the function to implement the issue of the flaps having to be raised to adjust the limiter, and in the process they completely changed how it functions.  Now, you push down to set the limiter and the flaps automatically deploy to that limit when you release the flap control.  You cannot set the limiter to a position ahead of time and deploy the flaps later like the real plane (and the way the original sim setup was working, but with only one flap control).

Got it, thanks!

Should've just given us a separate limiter control, maybe?

Yes, that would have been the way to go.  But they left it unfinished and incorrect.  Many people asked them to return it to the original if they were not going to fix the fix, but they just left the way it is now. lt was closer to the real thing originally.
