Flap damage speed : no joy!

Featured Replies

Hello everyone!

 

I am a proud and satisfyied FSCaptain customer, but this add-on has just given me the opportunity to find an issue with my FSX.

FSCaptain detects damaged flaps due to overspeed (through A:FLAP DAMAGE BY SPEED and A:FLAP SPEED EXCEEDED vars), and modifies your flight score accordingly.

These vars are toggled if the flap damaging/blownout speeds defined in the flaps section of aircraft.cfg are exceeded.

 

I flew yesterday in dire conditions, and I know I got the flaps out well above the damaging speed. No impact. I thought the plane might be the cause, so I did the same thing with Manfred's C-47 and several other planes only to notice that none had flaps failures. The damaging speeds on these test planes' aircraft.cfg files were all checked and confirmed OK.

 

My realism/failures settings might be wrong, but I am pretty confident about them. Here a pic (menu is in french, but you can easily have a guess at the meaning). Well, having issue with enclosing pix, so here is the text version :

 

Flight model : everyting maxed out.
Failures and damages :
Ignore etc : not kicked
Detect etc : kicked
Tension leads to failures : kicked
Possibilies of collision with another airplane: kicked
Engines :
Stress damages engine : kicked, two other unkicked
Special effects :
G effects : kicked.

 

 

So my question is two-fold:

- Am I correct to assume that the cfg damaging speed toggles the A:vars?

- Am I missing something obvious here?

 

Thanks anyway for your help
