Just to up date the previous, I checked the fuel page and missing small fuel tank to tell the panel if it is using the Tinmouse of FFX model. I'm sure it was there before (how many times have you heard that one!) but will check further. Could it be it thinks its using the FFX model?RegardsPaul

Paul;It sounds like you have the Kittyhawk/FFX aircraft.cfg in the B737-200_TM2 folder. Check the comments at the top of the aircraft.cfg file...they specify which model that file is for.Just double-checked the V1.2 zip and the configs are in the right place in the archive.Recommend you unzip the V1.2 file to a separate directory and copy the correct aircraft.cfg over to your AircraftB737-200_TM2 folder manually.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

Thanks BobPorblem sorted. No Issues with V1.2 only with user!Kind regardsPaul

I'm sure I'm forgetting to do something. I can't get my flaps down. They start to go to flaps 1 then retract. I'm useing the FFX model. Anybody else having this problem? Everything worked fine in v1.1.Scott

I too am having the same problem with extending the flaps...everything seems ok... then as soon as they begin to extend they immediately return to full up.I have all generators, hyd pumps everything up and running...The flaps are the only things not working thusfar...Love this plane... please get 'er fixed... I've not flown any sim aircraft as much as I fly this one...she's a beaut!Thanks,Ted Panamarioff - rainy, windy Kodiak Alaska

Please read the docs that came with v1.2. You cannot use standard FS keys to use the flaps. The instructions are clear about using FSUIPC to setup the flap commands.

I gather that this means that those of us cheap-o's still using the free version of FSUIPC are going to have to spring for the pay version if we want to assign the flaps to a key. Am I right?John G.

As I have had the payware version since it came out I cannot say what the freeware version can and cannot do. The Tinmouse readme says only the freeware version of FSUIPC is required. You need to be able assign buttons or keys to specific FSUIPC hexidecimal offsets to operate the flaps.It works fine on my setup :-)

Moving the flaps can also be done with the mouse by dragging the handle in the pedestal without the FSUIPC button assignment. The registered version of FSUIPC isn't needed in that case.As I posted in the FAQ, however, things are headed towards needing the registered version. There are just too many neat things I can only do through FSUIPC.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

This is exactly the same reason I have leftover bike parts at Christmas. Once I went back and read the instructions the flaps work great. Thanks again for a great panel.Scott

I just love the ease with which the "pros" sarcastically spew their sardonic advice on these forums...NOt all of us are so called newbies... myself am far from it!I was unaware that such changes were to be made in this version of this awesome 732... still dont see how they're beneficial... but what the heck... I dont call the shotsOh yeah... I too have a registered copy of FSUIPC, always have... Ted Panamarioff - Kodiak Alaska

I guess the real issue for me is that I am not too fluent in programming the FSUIPC to do the flaps and reverser...Anyone care to share?Regards,Ted Panamarioff - Kodiak, Alaska

Ted; I did go step-by-step through programming FSUIPC for the throttle locks in the readme, including screenshots of the various windows. Programming FSUIPC buttons for the flaps and spoilers is very much the same--only the parameters and offsets are different. Those changes were indeed necessary to make the systems work as God and Boeing intended. In FS, the flap handle and the flap position are handled together regardless of hydraulic power and other considerations...in a real aircraft, the flap handle doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the flap position. I had to break the linkage in FS for the sake of realism, and to do that I had to find a way to channel the control inputs to a place where I can properly simulate the r/w behavior of the system. Same goes for the spoilers...MSFS implementation of autospoilers is way off. I remember seeing Robert Randazzo of PMDG telling folks that it just couldn't be done with their B737. I've done it, but it also requires that the spoiler inputs be made through the FSUIPC "back door" so I can get to them before MSFS does.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

Hi Bob,first of all thank you very much for your effort for us and I'm sure you are doing the best to do develop this great project.I've a question, what is the reason of change flap commands from FS keys to mouse commands? now time is local 02:27am in Istanbul. I'm was working to set with FSUIPC since 22:30pm local, so it took approximetly 4 hrs but I couldn't do it.I read it several times and tried to make step by step. As you know we don't have co-pilot in here :) and this aircraft "fully analog and manual"!. I'm usign this aircraft since first version years ago but fist time I'm tired while making test flights and sets.Why we can't use F6/F7 like as V1.1?what was the change? As I said I'm believe, you are working hardly and you are boring when you read complaints by amateur users or regular users.best regardshakan737guvenistanbul

I agree with hakan737guven. I have my flaps and spoiler set to an axis and controlled by levers on my CH Yoke - seemed pretty realistic to me, and I flew Boeing aircraft! Now none of this works. I admire your quest for realism, but could we have an option for conventional flaps and spoilers?Dale
