Hi,

I wanna know if it possible to move the flaps, the leading edge and the trailing edge flaps, and the spoilers on only one wing?

I'm trying to simulated the spoilers switch on the 737 overhead, if the switch on the left side for example is off, only the spoilers on the right wing will move.

And for the flaps, is it possible to move it slowly than the normal speed. Once again, the reason is i'm trying to simulate the movement of the flaps only with an electrical motor.

I have search on the FSUIPC offset for that, and didn't find anything.... maybe it not possible...

Thank you for your help.

Daniel.

For FSX, or an older version? For FS9 I suppose it might be possible for a third-party add-on aircraft, should they have implemented such a feature, but I don't think there's any way of doing it for the default FS implementation. Have you tried?

In FSX the left and right flaps offset (0BE0 and 0BE4) are certainly separately writable, but whether they result in a separate movement I don't know. There's also a series of writeable offsets from 30E0 which separate the flaps into 8 parts - 4 left, 4 right, leading and trailing, inner and outer. Try writing to individual ones there. I really have no idea if that will work though. You could try writing to those offsets in FS9 too.

Spoilers are another matter. Although there are offsets for left and right positions, they are not writeable in FSX.

And for the flaps, is it possible to move it slowly than the normal speed. Once again, the reason is i'm trying to simulate the movement of the flaps only with an electrical motor.

The speed is determined by the Aircraft CFG or AIR files. I don't know any way of changing it internally. Previous implementers have done it by messing about with the position, to deley it getting to the desired position. This could have the desired effect on flight characteristics, but won't look correct of course.

Regards

Pete
