In this video, we extend my earlier video on setting up flaps, flaperons, and spoilerons in ETHOS. This time we also add elevator compensation and use the slow up and slow down options to make the transition longer. As a little bonus, I also throw in full span ailerons at the end too.
Please note: In the video I show up elevator to compensate for down flaps. This is usually correct for regular flaps and flaperons. But, coming in fast, they can cause balooning, which would require down elevator. Also, down elevator would be used for crow braking; where both flaps go down and both ailerons go up. The best thing to donis start with low values, test a few mistakes high, and see what works best for your plane and approach speed.
Another note is that the values I'm using in the video for compensation are just for demo purposes. You should try with no compensation first. Then add compensation if it's needed, and gradually increase it.
