PM Boeing GC Flaps question
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?Chris

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

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 meanChris

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.

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.
