Hi MM

My fav plane to fly in IL46.

I like th 2nd pic. Black goes with everything.

Heres a hot tip for all you P-38 Jockey's

the P-38L(late) is equipped with maneuvering flaps
which in your controls are triggered labelled and
engaged as though they were air brakes which
they are not.

in high speed flight 400+km engage these flaps
and you can turn with a BF109. it certainly is
surprisingly agile for its size once you master
this, try putting yourself into a straight over
loop de loop and when your at about 70 degrees
on the way up to the zenith hit the "airbrake"
the amount of seconds and energy spent on the
pullover are gone just like that its a whole new
plane after you get this working for you.

I actually turned it up while reading up on my fav plane
they mentioned it. but the equipment list didnt mention
it in game.

however It occured to me then and again now
that the proper term is speed brake

its I think a small pop out flap on each wing
and its just a straight metal non moving extension.
and it basically creates a disruption of the slipstream
(assumably by vortex effect)
wich causes the slipstream to fall off the controls
in compression.

this was a simple highly effective solution
to the lightnings tendencies in a high speed dive.

speed brake manuevering flaps I dont know for sure
but I tell you it totally works I have turned with
some of the most agile aircraft in the game.

Thanks for the info, I always thought this were just brakes to avoid reaching the speed where your elevators won't react anymore. Will try this.
