If you are using a mouse, you actually can't assign a key for extending the flaps via the in-game control settings. So you have to do this "manually":

 

1. In the folder <drive>:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\wargaming.net\World of Warplanes\input_mapping you will find the file "mouse_directional.XML".

2. Open it with the standard Windows text editor for example.

3. Between the coding lines </CMD_DEC_TARGET_FORCE> und <CMD_AUTOPILOT> insert the following coding lines:

    <CMD_FLAPS_UP>
     <FIRE_KEYS>
      <FIRE_KEY>
       <fireKeyName> KEY_E </fireKeyName>
       <fireKeyDevice> 0 </fireKeyDevice>
      </FIRE_KEY>
     </FIRE_KEYS>
     <fireAxisIndex> -1 </fireAxisIndex>
     <fireAxisSign> 0 </fireAxisSign>
     <fireAxisDevice> 0 </fireAxisDevice>
     <isBase> 1 </isBase>
     <switchingStyle> -1 </switchingStyle>
    </CMD_FLAPS_UP>

4. Save and done.

 

Now the flaps can be extended again by the "E" key. You may use any other key, of course.

 

Note: The message "Flaps extended" is shown only once on the sreen when first pressing the key in a battle. Nevertheless it works after that, too. You can see it by watching the wings.

Thank you. But does it actually changes anything in the handling of the plane? In this new game most planes feel pretty much the same...
I feel 'comfortable' enough to TnB with heavy fighters now. Not much fun

In this new version,all planes seems the same.The difference is only if u charge rockets and bombs and in the firepower.

So.. the developers whant the players to do their job?

Seems so.

Btw, editing the file in the described way makes the in-game setting available. I'm wondering what other options would become available just by editing the different XML files in the right way...

In fact there definitely are differences in handling and behaviour. The changed camera behaviour only gives you the impression that there aren't any.

I did no change but i saw a "pitch" up  and left rotation with the "E"... think somebody is working...

[The_Last_Jedi]

I did the change. Nothing new. Uninstall... Now getting a fresh copy. No flaps.

No. Nobody is working at this yet. Pitch up was there from start. On "Q"...

Saw the same players in the same planes. dr_Hegi is using the spitfire tier 8 again...

No fun. No difference betwen types.

To do something you must take a high firepower plane... not a stick. The fighters hit high altitudes and make a joke from heavys... Not funny.

I try to have hope. I want my toy back!

WG triks and treats...
