The other night I took off and my flight lead just left me in the dust and it took a long time before I bothered to look right and see them still extended.

You talking Blenheim? If so then I suggest waiting for Blackdog to arrive.
What I do know is that on the Hurricane you can set flaps in increments all the way from full Up to full Down. For instance on take off you'd usually set them to apx. 20-30%. You might have noticed that when you hit the assigned key for flaps down or up it will go to neutral first. Then hit down and wait for a couple of second (no need to keep key pressed) and then back to neutral to stop extending.
It's very well animated to the lower right in the cockpit where u can see exactly how much flaps's extended..
The spitfire has only full up or down. Nothing inbetween.
I've learnt to keep up with the AI in a spit or hurri but it takes Boost Cut-out ON, keeping rads closed till the very last second before overheat and rev up with brakes and start rolling just after the plane before you.
160 mph is best speed for optimal climbing. Good to know.
Hope this helps.
