S!
I just wish the Bf109 flap sound would be changed, it was a HAND CRANKED flap system. No hydraulics or other fancy pansy stuff. It took about 18 seconds to fully crank them out, read from the FiAF pilot's manual from 1943. It was advised to begin cranking down the flaps in good time when approaching.
Another neat nitpicky info about Bf109 flaps, they could not be deployed in too high speed thus damaging them because the system began to "slide" and flaps did not move out. Just food for thought.
