On the TCA flap lever you can remove the notches by removing a few screws on the bottom. Then you can have any flap position that you like.

Got it thanks

On the Cessna 172, the flap positions are assignedt:
- 0: 0
- 1: 1
- 2: 1
- 3: 2
- 4: 3

On the BOEING B737-500, the flap positions are assignedt:
- 0………: 0
- 0+1/2.: 1
- 1………: 2
- 1+1/2.: 5
- 2………: 10
- 2+1/2.: 15
- 3………: 25
- 3+1/2.: 30
- 4………: 40

Thanks a lot, man

Hi there. I also have the TCA officer pack but not the add-ons on the sides (speed brakes, flaps, parking brakes). So I want to buy them but the thing is I can't fly the Airbus efficiently atm, I'm using GA planes mostly. What I want to know is can I use the flap lever on GA planes like Cessna 172? As Cessna has 3 flap positions, the product has 4 total and 1 off position. Does it cause any issues on Cessna?

And some jets even have more than 5 flaps. Can I use other inputs when needed to extend the flaps to more than 4 positions?

Fine, I'm gonna try that.

Hi Mario, thanks for the information. I wasn't sure about the 90 knots. The video you linked doesn't have subtitles so I didn't understand everything there. If I remember correctly my plane proceeds at about 120 knots during descend and approach. This is with the flaps and gears open. That's where my real issue is. I guess I might be doing something wrong or maybe I should cut the throttle to less than 16 manifold pres. to obtain 100 knots. I will try this next time I play.

I’m trying to get used to flying the B58. I have found some information about suggested power settings that goes like this:

Climbing - 2.5 rpm / manifold pres. 25 inches

Cruise - 2.3 rpm / manifold pres. 19-23 inches

But I’m having trouble slowing down the plane for landing before the approach. Again in a video, I saw an instructor say “manifold pres. should be about 16 inches; mixture and props should be full” toward the landing. But if I do those things; even if I extend flaps and lower the gear, the plane goes a little too fast for landing(90 knots I presume). Can someone describe how to arrange power controls to make the plane slow down?

OK, I will.

Got that, thanks. I'll try.

OK, Thanks. If there is a separate control somewhere in the cockpit in every single plane, I suppose I'll have to ask each one individually. Because I'm totally stranger to planes.

I haven't tried many aircraft yet. Only the Cessna 172 and the Baron B58

Hi, I'm new to fs 2. I heard that you can adjust the cockpit lights to be dimmed or brighter at night but I haven't figured out how to do it. Can someone please tell?
