Sure you have. On a real 172, moving the flaps lever from 0 to 30 causes the flap motors to whine for 5 seconds (or whatever). Moving it from 0 to 10 causes only 2 seconds of whine. Moving it from 30 to 20 lasts for 4 seconds... In the current code, you get 7 seconds* of whine, period, no matter how far the deflection was. If you make a small change to the flaps while watching the wings, the 3D flaps will stop moving long before the sound stops. My point was that now that we know the "true" deflections of the control surfaces the sound code can use this information to be intelligent about when to stop playing the loop, and that this would be a Good Thing.
