Flap problem

Featured Replies

I am using the CH Yoke (with Ch pedals) on the TM2 & am unable to extend or retract the flaps with the buttons on the CH yoke I have assigned for the flaps. When I try to extend or retract the flaps, the flap gauge starts to move & then goes back. If I use F6 or F7 they will extend or retract properly. When I use the flap buttons on the CH yoke on any other plane, they operate properly. I have the latest registered version of FSUIPC. Is using F6 & F7 the only way to operate the flaps?Hope you can help me on this.Bob Anderson

Hi BobNot sure if this will help but I use Saitek stick and throttle and I believe in one of the earlier iterations of the Tinmouse 737 I could only cause the flaps to work by clicking the mouse directly over the Flap Gauge itself (don't recall trying F6 or 7). I haven't flown this aircraft for a while but if I recall correctly the latest version allowed flap function to be accomplished through the relevant joystick button. Hope this helps - at least a bit.Warren

Hi Warren,Thanks for your info. I did try clicking the mouse over the flap gauge & it does work. I am not sure if I have the latest version but will try the latest version if I don't have it to see if it makes a difference.Thanks,Bob

You have to set up FSUIPC to send an offset value for the flaps up and flaps down buttons as described in the readme. The standard FS flap command will not work on the 'mouse.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO
