michelip Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I have been flying the Mustang with no flap problems since it was released . Since the last stable update I notice that the P-51, whether starting on the ground or in the air, has its flaps fully extended. When I try to raise them, they will not retract. They remain down for the whole mission. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Busutil Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Either you are over speeding them and damaging them, which is preventing them from retracting or your landing gear fairing door emergency release handle is pulled out. (Red handle just above the hydraulic pressure gauge) Although this would also not allow your gear to retract. Also check your flap key bindings are still set properly. Updates have been known to mess these up sometimes.

Carbheat Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 On the ground, when the parking brake is released the flaps raise. Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbheat Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Maybe but it worked for me two days ago. Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Some game flight mode shenanigans maybe? They do operate as per manual in simulation flight mode. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

michelip Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Thanks for your suggestions Mike & Carbheat, The hydraulic pressure release is not the cause. Nor will flaps retract with parking brake off on ground. Overspeeding the flaps is beyond my control when mission begins airborne, because they are fully down at mission start with airspeed of 240 knots. This is the crux of the problem: WHY are they down on a flying aircraft at mission start? Can't get them up even with the default key mapping for retraction of flaps. I'll try yet another DCS repair, but if anyone shares this bug I'd like to hear from you. Mich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahdoh Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If you have your settings to read your controllers settings on spawn in, then your flaps can be down, otherwise they would be up. If you DO have this set, just be sure your flaps switch is set so that they are up when you airspawn and should fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use mouse to click on it till it's all the way up. Edited June 12, 2020 by Snapage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisuli Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Mine always starts with flaps up, and there are no issues going up and down with them. I have them set to a switch on the throttle. If they start down look at your flaps immediately after spawning and check if they're in motion. Agree with the people who say controller binding. I get in trouble if I don't make sure my gear switch isn't up when I spawn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelip Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks Snapage & Raisuli, I 've tried to lift flaps lever with mouse. It moves up but springs back when mouse button released. Flaps are mapped to my CH throttles switches. Never had problems before version 2.5.6, but I accept that could be coincidental. Have sought help from User Support and have followed their advice, but so far no luck. Mich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelip Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi all, The problem now seems fixed. It corrected today after I updated my Nvidia drivers. Thanks to all responders for your help. Mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick33 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Flaps on the Mustang can be mapped to analogue axis, it sounds to me like it could be mapped to one which happened to be in the down position.
