Is there a way to make the speed of the flaps at a constant speed?

Like if i want the flaps to extend in 5 seconds but at idle it extends slower than usual.

Boeing, its based on the amount of hydraulic pressure output vs RPM of your engine. If the idle power output is low on the scale, you have to open the throttle a little, with brakes on, to get the flaps to extend quickly.

A month ago or so, i posted airfiles for a model -- a Corsair IIRC -- which you reported as being too fast for your taste. Well, that *air file happens to have a high output to RPM and extends flaps at any RPM, even low idle. Open the air file and copy/paste/overwrite the entry 514 to your Jug's 514 entry. That should help.

The first graph shows my Corsair mod. The second is the stock Corsair's output.

Boeing,

The flaps are operated by hydraulic pressure. The R-2800 at idle doesn't have enough "kick." Set your parking brake and crack the throttle open to 25%. That will allow your flaps to extend in a hurry.
