Too fast for flaps?

Hi everyone,Yesterday I

Same thing happened to me and some others. Your maximum flap speeds are probably missing for the 800/900If you're on FS9:Open youre 737gauges.ini with a text editor (it's in C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9/PMDG)you should see something like this:[PFD]VLE=270.0FlapPositions=9// Default Values (for 700 too)VMaxFlaps=340.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250.0, 210.0, 195.0, 170.0, 165.0, 156.0//Specific values for -600VMaxFlaps_600=340.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250.0, 210.0, 185.0, 175.0, 160.0, 155.0//Specific values for -700VMaxFlaps_700=340.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250.0, 210.0, 195.0, 170.0, 165.0, 156.0//Specific values for -800VMaxFlaps_800=340.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250.0, 210.0, 200.0, 190.0, 175.0, 162.0//Specific values for -900VMaxFlaps_900=340.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250.0, 210.0, 200.0, 190.0, 175.0, 162.0If the specific values for -800 & -900 are missing, then that's the reason why you are experimenting this behaviour.Solution: Reinstall the 800&900 (or simply repair), if you are on Vista or W7 run the installer as administrator. That did the trick for me.If it doesn't work you can always go for the crappy workaround and manually copy the missing part to your 737gauges.ini yourself, but you never know what else might be missing if you had a bad install in the first place.Hope that helps

Hello Dario,This was exactly the problem. The entries for the 800/900 version weren't there. So I added them and everything is working very well now. Thank you very much.Cheers,Martin Broich
