Check this against what you have. This is stock MF F-5E.

No offense, but have you tried raising them (by hitting the "V" key)?

[+suhsjake 11]

Yes I have and after I raise them as far as I can, I can't lower them again (I never messed with the Flaps part of the data file).

The flaps are set to automatic in the data.ini. Perhaps you're not traveling fast enough (over 310 kias) for them to retract. You can always edit the flaps DeploymentMethod from "AutomaticAerodynamicLoad" to 'Manual", in the F-5E_Data.ini

Thanks, Thats what it did know its much better.

That's strange, just tried the '15E and the flaps work fine.

Yes, models work "all across the board". I, in fact, tested it in WoE.

Convert it to a jpeg format, upload it to our gallery, and then copy and paste the url link to that image on to your reply.

As I said, they work fine for me.

Make sure that the flap entries in your F-15E_Data.ini match these values:

 

[LeftFlap]

SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE

CLiftdc=0.34

CDdc=0.080

Cmdc=0.005

DeltaStallAlpha=-3.75

AreaRatio=1.00

DeploymentMethod=MANUAL

Setting[1].Angle=45.0

Setting[1].DeployValue=120.0

Setting[1].RetractValue=126.0

MaxDeflection=45.0

MinDeflection=0.0

ControlRate=0.3

AnimationID=5

ModelNodeName=Left_Flap

ReverseModelOrientation=FALSE

 

[RightFlap]

SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE

CLiftdc=0.34

CDdc=0.080

Cmdc=0.005

DeltaStallAlpha=-3.75

AreaRatio=1.00

DeploymentMethod=MANUAL

Setting[1].Angle=45.0

Setting[1].DeployValue=120.0

Setting[1].RetractValue=126.0

MaxDeflection=45.0

MinDeflection=0.0

ControlRate=0.3
