Just let it ride, bro. They're gonna do it to death and then do it more. When they get tired of it they'll find other cringe stuff to do to death.
My advice is to spend less time here if the people are too annoying. There's a lot more to the SP community than the Forums, and most of it's better than this.
In real life, deploying the flaps cause 3 things to happen. First, the nose tips down and you have to pull up to counteract it. Second, you get a lot more lift. Third, you get considerably more drag and often have to increase the throttle a bit to maintain speed.
TLDR Trailing edge flaps usually cause the nose to pitch down. It's perfectly normal.
In real life, helicopters are really freaky. For instance, (unless it has twin, counter-rotating main rotors) the faster forward a helicopter goes, the more it pulls to one side. This gets so bad that its top speed isnt limited by the power of its engines but by how hard you can pull in the opposite direction to keep it going straight.
To properly control a helicopter you need a joystick, rudder pedals, a throttle and a "collective" lever. So if you're just using WASD or thumb sticks, you're going to need to take some time studying the controls.
Visually iconic aircraft, and planes with theoretical high performance are usually the most common ones on SP. The Schwalbe is both. It's contribution to the development of aircraft is undeniable, but it is very far from what typical air to air combat was like during the war.

MALE VOICE: "I've got to take a stand for SPEECH FREEDOM!"

@Kakhikotchauri1 I think it's really cool that you're standing up for Speech Freedom here on the SimplePlanes forums. With all the suffering and injustice in the world, we need more heroes like you. Children will sing songs about you one day, maybe even a statue or something. God speed, hero.
On the other hand, I would love to see more emphasis on the aircraft that actually contributed to the war, rather than the ones that had the best performance on paper.
For example, there's probably 10 Me-262's on this website for every IL-2, despite the fact that in reality there were 30x as many Sturmoviks.
@Formula350 Maximum altitude and maximum speed become increasingly challenged as bypass ratio increases, but there are methods to counter this. For instance, combat aircraft use afterburners (which benefit greatly from bypass air) to increase both altitude and speed.
Obviously extreme bypass engines arent suitable for afterburning, but there may be other design tricks that can assist them in achieving higher speeds.
Many modern propeller aircraft use turbo-prop engines, which are related to jet engines. Likewise, most modern jets have turbofan engines which feature large, propeller-like fans.
But I understand your question to mean "wouldnt it look cool if modern high speed aircraft featured prominent, exterior propellers"
It is important to keep in mind that all propeller aircraft are limited to subsonic speeds unless diving steeply.
@AWESOMENESS360 I read a joke once where Soviet engineers were demonstrating Rocket-Assisted-Takeoff interceptors to Khrushchev. "You see, premier, the jet can be launched from the back of a truck. It needs no runway to take off."
Hey, cool plane. I like how you stuck with the crazy paintjob Convair gave it in real life.
What always puzzled me about this thing is how they intended to deploy it. You see, flying boats often can't land in the open ocean because of the swells. It's hard to take off or land when the "runway" is made of undulating hills taller than the plane. So did they plan to only use harbors for this thing? If so, wouldn't range be a serious factor?

Eh, maybe just post some pictures of cool bombers you wanna see get made because this challenge thing isn't working for you.

@IshiMoss Hmmm, it's been over a year since I experimented with this. Last time, I used hidden canards to simulate flaps, I think.
Classy!

Holy living #@$% it's incredible how often people make "dEd GaEm" posts on here.

+2Dude, this thing is awesome!
+2Put the important stuff like drop tanks, tail hook on AG1 and 2, and put the silly stuff like lights on AG4, 5, 6 etc.
Having AG's for the guns is only necessary if you have turrets etc.

"Excellent" he said, "now where will it land?"
+3@EngineerOtaku Maybe a translation issue. Usually when somebody ends a statement with "..., friend." They're being sarcastic and hostile.

@3 So the grip gives you a point to hold and move around and the control base functions as input. Thanks you
Is it possible to make custom looking VR controls, or do we have to use the specific throttle, stick, lever, switch and button parts?
Reason being is I'm working on a WWII aircraft and none of the default parts look anything like the throttle from the real plane.
+1@KfcGaming Oh, I did not know about that
@EngineerOtaku I wasn't talking to you and we aren't acquainted
Just one thumbnail?
why?!
