October 14, 20232 yr In my defense, the flaps would not stay out... must've botched up some switches around hydraulics or something messing with the parking brake lock in cruise..

The reason I got so fast was pushing throttle with each notch of flaps as they slow you down a lot in that thing and want to avoid stalling...
October 15, 20232 yr Wild guess: with the latest DW mod could it be the blue lever needed for AP operation needs to be in the back position again for flaps to function properly? I never had that issue but I always did that automatically. btw what addons are those "flight information" and "score" windows?

I have Luke Air Tool on the top left and Self Loading Cargo on bottom right, if those are what you're referring to.
