Digital Flap Indicator Incorrect
I'm using the digital flaps display that has the bar with the digital readout
next to it, along with the PMDG 737-700. The problem that I'm having is
two fold the first is the movement of flaps based on the flaps lever in the
Cockpit. With the lever in the following positions MSFS puts the flaps to
the corrosponding settings:
Lever MSFS
0 0
1 Nonresponsive
2 1
5 2
10 5
15 10
25 15
30 25
40 40 - MSFS gives sound effects for two selections (30&40)
When Comparing the flaps indicator on the MSFS 2D panel to the digital
display on the PM ECAIS I get the following relations:
MSFS Flaps 1 2 5 10 15 25 30* 40
ECAIS Flaps 1 1 1 2 5 15 25* 40
*This flap setting can only be selected using the incremental flaps button on
the keyboard not by the flaps lever in the cockpit.
The bar that represents the flaps in the ECAIS display moves poperly as the
flaps do it's just the numerical readout next to it that displays
inproperly.
In accordance with the post "Flaps Indicator"
(http://news.projectmagenta.com:8080/read?400212,1348
Flaps Settings in B737700.txt) I configured the flaps setting in the
B737700.txt file to the following:
flppos=0
flpset=0
vmin=202
vret=0
vext=206
vmax=350
flppos=1
flpset=1
vmin=168
vret=206
vext=166
vmax=240
flppos=7
flpset=5
vmin=158
vret=166
vext=162
vmax=220
flppos=20
flpset=15
vmin=153
vret=162
vext=159
vmax=210
flppos=27
flpset=20
vmin=147
vret=159
vext=140
vmax=195
flppos=33
flpset=25
vmin=129
vret=150
vext=138
vmax=190
flppos=38
flpset=30
vmin=127
vret=145
vext=0
vmax=162
I also tried changing the "Change Type" value in the ECAIS .ini to equal
B737700.txt rather then cdu after I made the above changes but had no change in
the results. Any suggestions on what the problem is and how I can fix
it??

Those look like 757 flap settings, not 737.
You should be using something like this:
flppos=0
flpset=0
vmin=vref40+50
vret=0
vext=vref40+70
vmax=340
flppos=1
flpset=1
vmin=vref40+70
vret=vref40+50
vext=vref40+50
vmax=250
flppos=2
flpset=2
vmin=vref40+30
vret=vref40+50
vext=vref40+50
vmax=250
flppos=5
flpset=5
vmin=vref40+20
vret=vref40+30
vext=vref40+30
vmax=250
flppos=10
flpset=10
vmin=vref40+20
vret=vref40+30
vext=vref40+30
vmax=210
flppos=15
flpset=15
vmin=vref40+10
vret=vref40+20
vext=vref40+20
vmax=195
flppos=25
flpset=25
vmin=vref40
vret=vref40+10
vext=vref40+10
vmax=170
flppos=30
flpset=30
vmin=120
vret=0
vext=0
vmax=165
flppos=40
flpset=40
vmin=120
vret=0
vext=0
vmax=156
