Just curious about the flaps on the B737?

Featured Replies

Hello, I was just wondering if you could please post a screenshot on the flaps. I noticed in one screenshot of the 600 version that the flaps seem to be a bit big and hang down when compared to real life photos. If so no problem, the rest is realistic, but just wanted to know if I could see a clearer picture of the system. [email protected]'t wait for the Southwest and ATA 800.

Knowing how PMDG are always striving for perfection :), I must agree with you on this one. The edge of TE flaps extend a bit much, I have highlighted the area that needs to be removed. I have compared as many pictures as I could before responding to this. There seems to be a little space between the segments that show through when fully extended on the real aircraft too. Gotta love this aircraft when we are talking about such little details huh?http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/6256.jpg[h5]Best Wishes,Randy J.

Gents-Vin, our modeler, is currently on his honeymoon. We'll have him take a quick spin through the dimensions when he returns.NOTE: I've taken a quick run through the dimensions and they are spot on. Could be a number of factors causing the visual effect you note, including but not limited to flap selection commonly used in the real world vs. the selection in our renders, and/or an adjustment needed in the max angle of extension on the model.

Thanks sounds great, You guys are great at customer support. Thank you very much and I think the flaps are great just the second part of the trailing edge flap seems a little too big or maybe the angle is off. Looks great otherwise. Love the Southwest and the Virgin Blue. Can you please update the progress or the end result if changes are made later on.Adam [email protected]

Dear Sirs,is that possible that there is might be no failure. Because you can land the 737 with Flaps 30 or 40 normally. This can be the effect. During Normal Operations you land the 737-600 usually with Flaps 30. This is mostly standard because this saves fuel and the Flare isnt`t too long especially with low GW.See youTill Kowalczyk

This could be, but by looking at the pictures on the second one, compare the FS plane, the 2nd part of the flap is the same size as the first one. In the real a/c you can clearly see it is much smaller. Dimensions may be correct but the visual in FS might distort this and give a false image. Don't know enough about it. Keep up the great work and hopefull it can be solved with a fix or a explaination.ADAM

Thank you Robert,I feel that this exterior model far exceeds any to date. It's simply beautiful. I've any bought her a wedding ring hehe... (glad i'm single!)[h5]Best Wishes,Randy J.
