Flaps do not stop at 5.

[Matthew Schoenberg]

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

Enrico

flppos=0
flpset=0
vmin=vref
vret=0
vext=vref
vmax=330

flppos=2
flpset=1
vmin= vref
vret =vref+20
vext = vref
vmax = 255

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.
