PM Boeing GC Flaps question

Not sure off the top om head. I will take a look later today.

I forgot some words

PMDG simulates some of this only in their panels but the cfg is in this case not in synchronous. We read just the position from the A/C and don't simulate this settings external.

Not at this stage, but in the new files (737) they are as part of the AftOH.

AFTOH? Nice !!!!! I can't wait for the new ver to come out

Because I have narrowed the probelm and as it looks 99.9% is my error. can someone who has his Flaps annunciators working correctly and uses PMDG flight and external model tells me which PMDG PM modification use? on the PM site there are two

1) PMDG 737-700 SU3 mod by Bob Scott 070204
Please Note: this is for SU3 (Althought his for some reason does not find teh correct version of PMDG gauges although I have the latest unmodified.)

2) PMDG 737-700 fix by Steve Reyling 090803

Is there and another mod out there ?

Hi Chris,

I'm in your same ship.

I'm using - with no success - Steve Reyling's 737 performance file for the CDU but - regardless to this - it looks like we must look at the aircraft.cfg ...

According to Thomas - see a few posts before - it is THERE where PM looks at.

So we'd better find a way to change something inside this file, rather than the CDU.ini, or the performance file, or the GC.ini ...

Don't you agree ?

Rgds,

p.s.: what I don't understand is that this very same aircraft.cfg, run on a laptop setup without PM and with the standard PMDG panels and gauges, does provide exact data for the LE transit and extension ...

Why can it be wrong for PM logics and correct for PMDG's ?

Boh ...

[Thomas Richter]

To set the Flaps in aircraft.cfg (FS) you need to check/correct the settings under this positions

[flaps.0] //Trailing Edge Flaps
...

[flaps.1] //Inboard Leading Edge Flaps
...

[flaps.2] //Outboard Leading Edge Slat
...

They define the different Flap types.
And we read the correspondig offset of the LE Flaps from FSUIPC.

Well now I have just went over and looked at the PM site for the CDU txt file that I am using and it is not there. So I will go down in a bit and get the file I am using and place it in the download area.
