Typing error in 777F Aircraft config file?

[dafyddp3d 2]

While searching the 777F Aircraft.cfg file I found what looks like a typing error in the "Flaps.0" section, where the letter W appears on the type=1 line before the comment markers (see below)

I have no idea if this is likely to affect anything (if indeed it is a typo!), but thought I'd better mention it as none of the other config files seem to have a similar entry. Should I delete it?

[Flaps.0]
type=1                                  W// ** FLAPS **
extending-time=54                       // Total seconds
span-outboard=0.69      // 0.0 .. 1.0
flaps-position.0= 0.00000               // pseudo-degrees
flaps-position.1= 6.11111               // 1  11 sec
flaps-position.2=13.33333               // 5  24 sec
flaps-position.3=16.66667               // 15 30 sec
flaps-position.4=19.44444               // 20 35 sec
flaps-position.5=26.11111               // 25 47 sec
flaps-position.6=30.00000               // 30 54 sec
lift_scalar = 1.0
drag_scalar = 1.0
pitch_scalar= 1.0
system_type = 1

Great eye and this is still there in the latest version - David Lee

Leave the aircraft cfg file alone. Correct or incorrect the 777F works fine. Start changing the cfg file and it may never fly again. If you are having an issue submit a ticket to PMDG Support at - http://support.precisionmanuals.com.

The flaps are handled externally to the sim.

Thanks for the replies, I did in fact remove it (backed up file first), and as predicted by Chris, made no difference!

FYI, I found an old 777F Aircraft.cfg dated 10/18/2014 in some backup files..
Here is the entry:      [Flaps.0]
                                  type=1                       W// ** FLAPS **

My PMDG notes suggest this is from SP1c 1.10.6155, Service Pack 1c Update, Released 10/8/2014

I agree with Michael (pcubine), correct or not, it works.
