I have a problem with the flaps on the 117 download. When flaps are selected, the drag chute doors open instead. It causes a high decelaration and sinkrate usually resulting in a crash. I changed the key assignemnt for flaps but it still has the same effect. The warning yells 'sinkrate' and 'flaps' at me, but yelling at me doesnt help.
 
If anyone knows what to do, help is appreciated. If more info is needed, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi Brad,

The F-117 (along with the Concorde and Vulcan) doesn't actually have any flaps as it has a delta style wing. It makes it very tricky to land but it is true to real life

I used to work on the 117 and it has integrated flaps (flaperons), they are in use as airspeed requires, just like the F-16. The landing speed required in-sim is unrealistic.
