Flaps decrease and Increase not working

[kaha]

I use the binding in the screenshot. This works in 2020, but in 2024 it extends and retracts the flaps completely. Anyone also sees this? Tested with empty Community folder and with 2024-native aircraft as well as with 3rd party aircraft.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Cam you please attach your FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log file, the latter with logging for Events and Buttons & Keys activated and showing your issue, i.e. load an aircraft, activate the flaps Increment and then exit.

Also check that the button is not assigned in MSFS2024..

Here we are. For this test I used the same FSUIPC installation as I use for MSFS 2020,

Looking at your log, when a Flaps Inc command is being sent, a Flaps Down control is also being seen:

Quote

   210016 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3 (C), Btn=22, Pressed
   210016 [Buttons] 109=PC,22,C65758,0
   210016 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65758, Param=0 FLAPS_INCR
   210047 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65758 (0x000100de), Param= 0 (0x00000000) FLAPS_INCR
   210047 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65603 (0x00010043), Param= 0 (0x00000000) FLAPS_DOWN
   210125 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3 (C), Btn=22, Released

and similarly, when a Flaps Dec command is being sent, a Flaps Up control is also being seen:

   219594 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3 (C), Btn=21, Pressed
   219594 [Buttons] 108=PC,21,C65759,0
   219594 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=65759, Param=0 FLAPS_DECR
   219610 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65759 (0x000100df), Param= 0 (0x00000000) FLAPS_DECR
   219610 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65595 (0x0001003b), Param= 0 (0x00000000) FLAPS_UP
   219704 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=3 (C), Btn=21, Released

These additional up/down controls are NOT coming from FSUIPC, so they must be either coming from MSFS itself or somewhere else.
Please check your MSFS assignments, and make sure you check both the General and Aircraft specific assignments.
Also check the assistance options.

I have checked a few aircraft here and do not see this, so it must be something in your MSFS settings.

Ok, I'll check. Thank you.

John, you're of course right.

For my peripherals I use FSUIPC exclusively. I cleared all my MSFS profiles (except keyboard and mouse) but somehow MSFS 2024 managed to come up with a standard profile for the flaps.

Works now.

Thank you,
