Fast Flaps

[Henrik]

Why do the flaps in IF retract extremely fast? I swear in real world, they retract much slower.

There is already a topic about this

Flap extension and retraction speeds

The flap extension and retraction speeds on the 737s are more than twice as fast than those on the real aircraft. Request to have them slowed to match the speed of the real planes. Would definitely make for a much smoother transition between changing flap positions.

I saw the title when I was looking up topics about flaps, I thought the “speeds” mean’t at what speed you are supposed to deploy the flaps. Sorry for the confusion.

I just edited the title again too “Flap extension and retraction speeds”.
Hope that helps.
