Flaps

[150245]

Hi Pete,

could you please give me a small tip how to toggle the 6 position (PSS)Airbusflaps by buttons? I found in FSUIPC Flaps up, down, 1,2,3 which are only 5 pos.

thanks in advance

There are no commands provided by FS to do that. You'd need to use the Flaps axis instead. Try assigning FLAPS SET or AXIS_FLAPS_SET controls in FSUIPC's dropdown, with a different numeric parameter for each flap detente. You will have to work out the numeric values for the best results for each flap position. The range will either be 0 (up) to 16384 (down) or -16384 (up) to 16384 down. Divide the interval into equal parts to give the correct number of intervening values for the total flap positons -- e.g. for 5 in total you's have full up, full down, then three intervening ones, so you need to divide the interval into 4. For 9 in total you'd divide by 8.

hello,

thanks for prompt reply.

I know that one can handle the flaps with a Potentiometer via Joystickaxes and set by FSUIPC it worked quiet well for long time but know i am facing a bug as the Flaps are automatically moving up when reaching a certain speed, but instead of up they are moving to full. This does not happen if I set by buttons therefore my idea to manage the Flaps by buttons. If it will not work just bad luck

You misunderstand! I did read that you wanted to use buttons. The FS controls I mentioned are Axis controls, but you can use them programmed on buttons in FSUIPC. Just use the parameter facility to set a fixed value which does the job!!!

Did you not even try my suggestion before rejecting it so?

Pete
