Are you getting tired of having your nose balloon up when you turn on your flaps. Here's a down and dirty solution for you to get smooth flap transitions. In Ethos 1.5 and higher, we'll use a free mix, rename it, select channel 2 (elevator) as output. Active Condition isn't always on, but the flaps switch position (mid and down) using the !Not command. Then we'll assign weights (somewhere between 20% to 30%). I also show you how to use a slider to set the value. Be sure to fly at least 3 mistakes high when testing this out, and don't be afraid to put the flaps in the retract position if it's not working out for you.
In Ethos 1.4.17 it's similar, if you're using negative values for flaps, change the weight down to 20%, if using positive values for flaps, change the weight up to 20%. If you're uncertain change both weight up and weight down by equal positive values such as 20% , 30%, or whatever works. Go to your outputs and verify, then check the flaps and elevators to ensure it's working (elevator needs to go down). Also confirm your elevator is still controllable by your right stick.
