Something is wrong with the planes, my planes keep taking damage in a lot of games, 3-10 sec after spawn, and most of the time its the horizontal flaps.
Spawning in - flying straight for about 600m then to dive and realize the flaps are black and I can’t steer up or down, so I have to angle the plane to left or right to be able to dive.

Flaps can be damaged or lost due to the stress on them at high speeds, make sure to use them at proper TAS speeds.
Flaps have nearly nothing to do with your plane’s ability to pitch up/ down - that is the elevator responsibility, that part should be damaged only due to hits from enemy.
So I am not sure what could be causing that for you as I have never encountered this problem.
Having the same problem.Sometimes soon sometimes later plane starts to take damage without any reason so no enemy planes and not close to ground to be able to be hit by someone.
I think there is much more things that need to be implemented in game before stress damage on your flaps.Would be if dev.confirm it or tell us they received bug report
Well all I can tell it happened to me, when i was diving in my P38 reaching 560 TAS I tried to lower my flaps, they instantly ripped off.
