Calibrating flap detentes...


Recommended Posts

I am having trouble understanding the manual, specifically pages 47-49, calibration of flap detentes. I have read, and re-read manual, viewed several other posts here, without success. I can only call flaps 5, 20, and 30 using the toggle on my yolk. I have a registered version of FSUIPC4 and have used the mouse macrosand various other functions and love your product. I am very limited in my computer skills and seem to be suffering from some sort of mental block.....

FSX, CH Yolk, LevelD 767...I chose specific aircraft and FSUIPC is indicating 7 detentes with an increment of 5460.

First question...what do you mean by "move the lever"? With no flaps, I set the left set button for #0, then call flaps 30 and set using far right set button for #2.

"1. Set the flaps lever to a position a bit inside the Flaps Up position/notch (i.e. towards your Flap #1)," ...Here is where I am lost...what lever, and how do I move just inside Flaps 1?

You can only calibrate flaps on an axis -- i.e. a lever -- there is no such thing as calibration of a toggle switch or button! Buttons and switches are either on or off, there's no "calibration" possible! "Calibrate" means to align some action or meaning with a value being read. There are no values being read from a switch other than "on" or "off"!

All you can do with a toggle, assuming it has two contacts (on up, one down) is to assign Flaps Inc to one direction and Flaps Dec to the other. Forget flap calibration altogether. If only one position is recognised, then you'd need two switches or buttrons, one to raise flaps, one to lower them.

First question...what do you mean by "move the lever"?

The lever you haven't got which you appear to want to calibrate!!!

Please refer to button and switch assignments for buttons and switches, and only refer to lever and axis calibrations for levers and axes!
