Caesar aerodynamics flawed (incl. flaps indicator)
New, NormalPublic

Description

The Caesar BTT behaves very oddly for a light aircraft. When flaps are down at either setting, the nose climbs at ridiculous angles (near vertical) until the airspeed compensates (e.g., 70 km/hr when on full flaps, initially travelling level at 150 km/h). This has only started happening since the 28 June 2016 update.

Additionally, when flying real light aircraft (or any aircraft), full flaps are deployed on landing to ensure stall speed is at the airframe's minimum. At the moment, the Caesar's MFD is set to 'LDG' at one notch, and 'T/O; at two notches (should be the other way around).

Incidentally, would it be at all possible to break away from ArmA's 'feature' of having no real throttle control in aircraft when flying mouse/keyboard? It's a pain in the ass to have to accelerate the Caesar (or any plane for that matter) to 20 km/h to maintain stable groundspeed.

Steps To Reproduce

Take the Caeser for a spin, level out at any height with speed set to 150 km/h, then lower flaps to full. Caesar nose will pitch up to ~60-70 degrees before stalling.
