Ok. What may this mean then? "Zu" (Same sign, than on the inner reel arm closing direction )

No, its half open (the half of the pin shows because of this). Look at these pictures. The flap is opened totally, the flap angle is much bigger (The pin does not disappear, you may see on top of him, that it's open (Auf)).

Yeah, anything is. Rivets, the skin of the aircraft, antenna, basically anything. So yes, pin=aerodynamic drag.

Wait a minute. Yes yes, it count. I was flying with a sailplane until a couple of years, i know how important even the polishing is. But we talk about a 1100 horsepower fighter, on which there is an a dozen of, much bigger snag thing. You believe it, that Mr. Messerschmitt dealt with it when he planned the airplane when the little tiny stick is opened when is closed? (Cheesehawk asserted this). I don't think so. They did it because this is the simple solution. Screwed to the lower sheet, it was driven through the hole, and done. (There is a picture in the manual, which InsaneDruid mentioned with a couple of posts before).



Anyway, if this was mentioned already:
Did it not manage to convince the developers that this is bad? It did not change in a new patch. I saw it, the stopwatch yes (Thanks for it), but this older topic.
edit: Forget it guys, I did not speak nothing. I read it now the patch hotfix list, indicator is fixed. Thank you.

I can confirm it's working correctly now.
