PM Boeing GC Flaps question

[Olympic260]

At PM GC I have activated the analogue Flaps Gauge. I ma using the PMDG flight model and the PMDG737700 txt file for the flap settinngs.

Although the flaps are shown normaly up to 40 degrees the LE Trans and LE ext are not light up as they supposed.

In the real aircraft the sequence is

Flaps UP -> Flaps 1 LE Trans illuminated and when flaps 1 LE Ext is ON
Flaps 1 -> Flaps 2 LE Ext ON
Flaps 2 -> Flaps 5 LE Ext ON
Flaps 5 -> Flaps 10 LE Trans illuminated and when flaps 10 LE Ext is ON
The rest up to 40 LE EXT is ON

On the GC it shows

Flaps UP -> Flaps 1 LE Trans illuminated and when flaps 1 all OFF (Wrong)
Flaps 1 -> Flaps 2 all off Wrong
Flaps 2 -> Flaps 5 all off Wrong
The rest is working normaly.

Is there a way to change this in the txt file or is hardcoded to the GC? Anybody know?

In the ini file there is a setting to show LE Transite. Make shure this is set right.

If you mean the "StandByFlapsIndicator " is ON. This is the only flaps setting I found on the pfd.ini regarding the LE FLAPS TRANS/EXT

StandByInstruments must be activated and displayed as well.
It means that on the GC (normally EICAS) this both settings must be activated and then the Flaps indicators are visible on the screen, if not you don't get the info / display.

The stb Instruments are activated. The Flap gauge and stb gauges are active but the LE trans and LE EXT are not activating as they suppose. IE the EXT is ON only after Flaps5.

I ll make some screenshots later to expain better what I mean

That depends on your A/C !
The Flaps, as well LE Flaps are defined in its aircraft.cfg. We only display what is defined there.

The aircraft I am using is the Flight Model and external model of the PMDG using the default FS panel I can see that the LE annunciators are ON/OFF as they suppose but the same time at GC software are not. So I don't think that is a aircraft cfg problem. I have tryied also the default 737 with PM on the panel the annunciators are correct but on GC not


And the pics

Below the Flaps are transiting from 0 to 1 the trans correctly is ON


At flaps 1 here the flpas EXT shoud be ON


Here transiting towards FLAP5 correct but on Flaps 5 the EXT shoud be ON whch does not happen


Flaps 5 to 10 the transit is On as it supposed


Flaps 10 Ext is ON and continues to stay on until FLAPS40

I don't know where to tell you to look but these work fine in my sim. Basically the same setup as yours.

[Thomas Richter]

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.

Bob which txt file are u using for the CDU? Maybe something weong there on mine.
