Don't know if anyone noticed, but the flaps are already split left and right. I did this for the asymetric flap deflection issue. I wondered if the 737 that crashed in Pittsburgh in ...hmmm.. 1987(?) could have been caused by a flap jack screw attachment point breaking, thereby allowing the flap to blow up. In the post-crash investigation, it might look like the flap was down because the jack screw was fully extended, but if it's not attached to anything.... That crash was blamed on a rudder failure, with a subsequent redesign of the rudder servo, but it made me wonder what would happen if.... I had never seen anything like asymetric flap deflection on a sim before, but didn't see any reason Datcom couldn't do it. It's not like you can collect that data any other way. I never did experiment with a 737 to see what would happen, though.... Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
