Hurricane Mk1 (all types) Undercarriage and Flap Control.
A single hydraulic pump supplies the power for operating the undercarriage and flaps. Selection of the desired operation of the undercarriage or flaps is by means of a selector lever. The selector lever works in a gate, having a neutral position and an UP and DOWN position for both undercarriage and flaps.
In the historical aircraft, a single source of power could be directed towards only one action at a time by means of a selector lever. This must mean they could never have flaps and undercarriage in powered movement at the same time.
But in the game you can issue keyboard or joystick button commands to lower or raise undercarriage and flaps simultaneously on the Hurricane Mk1's, and you can see flaps and undercarriage in powered movement at the same time in external views.
The single physical selector lever/single pump system seems to be modelled as two independent logical levers (and two hydraulic pumps), one for flaps, one for undercarriage, each with an up, neutral and down position.
Expected behaviour is you cannot do hydraulic power operations on both flaps and undercarriage simultaneously in the Hurricane's fitted with this system.
