Another q400 question

[Dragonmount 5]

Ok, so I've finally figured out mostly everything except the flaps do not go down when I hit the flaps lever what do I press to unlock them?

Does it do the same thing if you press F7 or F8?  Does the flap indicator move and you see nothing

 

happening in the external view?

Are the engines running?

[pete_auau 1,153]

As the above poster  has  suggested  you need  both engines  running   to have  the flaps  move.  although   when the engines  are not  running   you should still  see the flap lever  move  but  not  the  actual flaps  themselves

OP stated in another post that he "figured it out".

Would be helpful to others (and thoughtful of respondants) to post his solution here.
