With the new section (since Build 499) in the pfd.ini below how do I calibrate this? What is T, C and D? My true flap positions are as for normal 737-800, being 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 40, I guess I put this in as T1 to T9 (T being True?).

I am guessing that C1 is the flppos value (ie FS setting) in the aircraft config file and D1 is the flpset value (ie PM display value on the GC)

Figured it out. As I have 9 flap positions, just need to ensure the pfd ini has from 1 to 9 above. Then you just move the flaps to each position, wait until they come to rest at each position and the values are automatically written to the pfd.ini. I kep getting the "calibrate" message until now because I haven't used flaps 40!
