Is it able to add delayed flap system ?

in DX8, you can set a delay from 0.1s to 16s for flap input. When you switch on the flap, it will slowly and smoothly feed in the flap within the time selected

So you will not experience a sudden deceleration when you switch on the flap.

Yes this is supported using the 'speed' config on the limits page of the advanced mixer

Go on the mixer config page where the channels are listed on the left (1-ELE, 2-AIL, ...) and the chosen mixer on the right (simple, expo, complex...).
When you touch the "1-ELE" button a config page opens where you can make channel-specific configurations, with the last one you can change the speed setting.

Yes, speed is not available in a virtual channel, which I'm still hoping will change. If I was a better programmer I'd try it myself, but I don't want to hack at the mixer too much.

Once speed can be used on a virtual channel and is applied in such a way that it can be used as a source, we can do some neat tricks with the speed setting.

Maybe I'll have a hack at it just to see what happens in the emulator...

In fact I think that at this time if your flap system use the AIL/ELEV servos, it's not possible because you can only set speed for servo... Hexperience is right when he says that we need to be able to set speed by mixer.

if there is a spare ch like aux he could use that channel as a source for the flaps and slow that chan.
Might have to try that on my own. humm.

The speed is applied to the output after all mixing has taken place. so you can't use the speed-adjusted output as an input into another channel.

You'll need to wait until I redesign the mixer to enable applying speed during mixing instead of only at the end.
