However, in patch 4.10 for IL-2 on the plane I-16 has only two fixed positions flaps. This should be fixed in the next patch!
How would you implementt that as a button press? Especialy seeing how flaky trim is when operated by key presses?

You'd be better off mapping the flaps to a joystick axis (flaps on a slider), that would be more realistic for what your seeking.

Or you could map them to the mouse axis as zakkandrachoff had done (not that he seems happy with it)

@ zakkandrachoff:

You can map flaps two places, with a button, as you've done, but also as a joystick control if you scroll right down to the bottom of the "controls screen". I bet you've got the flaps mapped as BOTH a button AND an axis. If you have, the ais will take precedence and over rule the button, which is what you seem to be describing
