All of a sudden, no matter what model I use, the flaps will not set at 5.
They will go to 1 but when pushed again, the skip 5 and go to 15. This
happens both ways.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what is causing this and how to resolve
it?
When I tested it outside PM it worked so I am not sure what the fix is in
PM.
Many thanks,
Matthew
I believe this is in the text file in the CDU. I changed to a new file I
picked up here from another post and the problem is fixed with the flaps at
5.
I downloaded a new file of the 777-200-224 and it still didn't work while the
flaps at 5 did work in the 777-200LR file.
Maybe someone can determine the fix for the 777-200-224 file or if I just
have the wrong download.
Hi,
I had simular problem, but what does the Flpos and Flset on the 777 that
works say. Is that line of flap code even in the 777.txt file? Just a
thought.

The only problem with flaps that I have is that it moves from Flap 0 directly
to 5 and the reason for this is that PM does not support only forwarding
edge deployment (flap 1 in 777).

Hi,
I added that flap 1 setting via leading edge to the GC, will upload it now.
Please also check the 777200 txt file for that change (tested with the FS
default aircraft).
flppos=2 is the relevant entry, should you be using another flight model.
Ciao

Hello
I just checked this fix with PSS 777-200LR with default 777 panel. GC
correctly detects the transition from 0 to 1 flap and from 1 to 5 however it still
displays 5 instead of 1. The CDU monitor shows 0s in flaps positions.
Thanks
Leon
Can you please check with the default FS 777? It should show 1...
I do not have the PSS flight model, can you read the value in the leading
edge offset when flaps 1 is set?

Of course, the flaps are still 0 in FS when 1 is set.

Default 777 displays correctly.
Attached results from FSInterrogate for Flaps 1 and Flaps 5 settings, PSS
777-200LR
Leon
Hi Leon, can you please copy from your aircraft.cfg (FS2004 from yourPSS777)
the parts with:
[Flaps.0]
.
.
[Flaps.1]
.
.
[Flaps.2]
.
and so on, but please the hole part to se the settings.
Best Regards
Thomas Richter
Please see attached file.
Leon
Mine is a little different.
FS9 default cockpit panel shows correctly all the flap positions and
transitions.
PM GC shows flaps as "UP" when at 1 and then 5 correctly and so forth.
The correction would be to show "1" as "1" instead of as "up".
This is how mine shows.
Ok... that helped... thanks to all of you! Vielen Dank fuer die Idee
Thomas.
Update in "latest".
Ciao
Enrico

Hi Enrico and Leon,
with Enrico`s update try this txt-file. It is the file that Enrico sent
before with some changes in "flppos", should work.
Best Regards
Thomas Richter
Correct...
the crucial part is this entry:
flppos=2
flpset =1
vmin= vref
vret =vref+20
vext = vref
vmax = 255

I just checked with the latest update. The flaps 0,1,5 are displayed
correctly, however then 15 is displayed as 20, 20 as 25, 25 as 30.
I increased flppos values in aircraft file and now it displays all flaps
settings correctly. The only problem that during the transition some times the
displayed values show lesser than requred - for example during transition
from 25>20 it displays 15 for a split of second and then correctly displays
20.
Leon
Can you live with that split second sometimes for the time being?

Yes, Thank you
