Hi Tried the normal NGs and its working fine so sounds like a problem with the BBJs... also on take off with the BBJ flap 5 is visible in the right hand window (had to scroll to flap 1 or up) were as on a normal NG it was fine. Rich

Hi Rich,I'll look into it.As mentioned in your other thread, it's like a bug in the SDK I use to interface with the aircraft.The commands should be standard across all aircraft.Next update with come when the FSX version is released, which hopefully will be soon.As mentioned before, the FSX upgrade will be free.Cheers,

Hi Rich,The BBJ TCAS issue I was able to reproduce. It's a bug in the SDK. The fix for that will have to come from iFly, and it'll likely be in the iFly's next Service Pack Revision.Cheers,

HiOk cool thanks i have a key set for TCAS for the BBJ now so i just use that when i line up.. i can not reproduce the other problem i had , the only thing i can think of is pilot error on my part in that i may not have put flaps 1 in the FMC for departure.. i know i put it in the brief , today i flew the BBJ that i had problems with and that went fine too .Rich

Hi Rich,I just spoke to the iFly Developer. The TCAS in the BBJ is slightly different than the TCAS in the non BBJ models, and I was able to fix it. It'll be in the next FS2Crew update.Regarding flaps: Since you can't reproduce it, it must be some weird one-off thing.FYI, during the climb out, FS2Crew doesn't look at what you briefed or what you entered in the FMC; instead, it looks at the current flap position.Cheers,
