what plane are you using?
most use flaps or fold wing(you have to set a new command)
dino's goes automatic at high speeds but you can also do it manualy using fold wing.

Well, Of all the F-14s I flew the flap button (F7) was the one that moved the wings.

Yeah all the ones I fly do it auto when you punch it to full throttle and the speed picks up 8-)

I've not got much time in Dino's D, so he might have done it differently. However the F-14 had a lever to the right of the throttle used to sweep the wings manually with a switch on the left hand concel to move the wings into the oversweep position. If Dino modleled these as clickable you could use them through the VC.

Dino's F-14 doesn't feature manually sweeping wings - only automatic.
