The flaps on the Baron seem to do the exact opposite of what they do on just about every other plane I've flown in FS.

Normally, when I engage the flaps on approach, the airplane wants to lift, but with the Baron, it wants to nose dive. Huh

Is this an error in the FDE, or am I just using them wrong on this plane? Undecided

I'm not a Baron pilot... but in many light GA (especially twins).. where the flaps are well behind the CoG.. flap deployment, while still providing more lift and drag, will initiate a nose-down pitch.

I find that I have to re-trim the Beech Baron 58 after operating the Flaps, to re-stabilise the flight.

The Baron thrives on regular doses of; "Trim"!.... Kiss

...!

Changes in power and "attitude" often require a re-Trim.

Many other types do the opposite, and cause the Aircraft to "Balloon" over the runway after applying the Flaps...which can be really annoying when you are rapidly running out of runway length!... Shocked

Shane, Brett is right in this instance. A small degree of flap will increase lift, a large degree is like bolting a brick wall to the back of your wings (you'll find banking goes funny as well as the speed drops like a brick from the Eiffel tower) Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
