FS 4 Flaps

Hi,

first of all I like FS4 very much, the improvements are worth the purchase price for me. Thank you for your work!

On the F18 I can only select Flaps UP or HALF, but not down. I don‘t know why…

Thanks,

Ludger

IPACS has taken the trouble to do this: https://www.aerofly.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/aircraft:f18

I am just using buttons. But I found the reason: If you define the same buttons for flaps up and down in multiengine aircraft as well then you have issues. I deleted those (cosistent) definitions and now the buttons work as expected for the F18.

Regards,

Ludger

Yes, I realized that too - looks like a bug when you assign certain function in multiengine and standard

I too have found that some settings under "Controls" can interfere between the "Essential", "General" and "Multi Engine" sections. I will test this later.

My devices are according to the display "Input Devices": "T.A320 Pilot", "TCA Q-Eng 1&2", "TCA Q-Eng 3&4" and "T-Pendular-Rudder". Before the test, all functions of all devices have been operated once. The devices are assigned to the various constellations in "Multi engine".

• Display "Controls"/"General"/"Airplane":
  -- In "Throttle" only 1 thrust lever is shown, while in "Trust Reverse" two reverse levers "Rev 1, Rev 2" are shown.
• T.A320 Pilot:
  -- The "Pop 0 Up" button is always automatically active at startup and must be deactivated by touching it once.
• TCA Q-Eng 1&2:
  -- The functions "Ry", "Rx", "AB off" and "Spider 0" are not activated.
• TCA Q-Eng 3&4:
  -- The functions "Ry", "Rx" and "Spider 0" are not controlled.
  -- The functions "Eng N" and "AB off" as in TCA Q-Eng 1&2 do not exist.
  -- The functions "Rev1" and "Rev2" do not exist.
• LearJet:
  -- The TCA lever for Revers1 controls Revers2 as well, the TCA lever for Revers2 does not work.
• Q400:
  -- The simulation levers for "Propeller speed 1" and "Propeller speed 2" are not taken over by the TCA levers until the simulation levers are first dragged back by mouse and then the TCA levers are moved.
  -- "Eng1" and "Eng2" override the TCA levers with the two positions "0 %" and "100 %".
• Baron 58 / King Air:
  -- The simulation levers for "Propeller speed 1" and "Propeller speed 2" are not taken over by the TCA levers until the simulation levers are first dragged back by mouse and then the TCA levers are moved.
• A380:
  -- The switches "Eng3" and "Eng4" do not work.
  -- The "Reverse" display in the header bar shows reverse from thrust lever1, although only 2 and 3 can reverse.
• B747:
  -- The switches "Eng3" and "Eng4" do not work.
