As I understand it from natops manual, AUX flaps will extend to full down position with just 5° deflection of FLAP handle from up position, not once FLAP handle is full down. So make sure your FLAP handle is ALL the way up when you raise flaps after T/O. Otherwise you might think you have flaps up, but in fact you might have AUX flaps still down and risk damaging them. I think there was a circuit breaker that when pulled out would disable the AUX flaps from dropping, so only the main ones will respond to lever movements. No idea if this was actually true or if HB have implemented it. Can't even recall where i've read it. Maybe it was these forums? But in my old age i've grown senile.....

Yes Im pretty sure there was such CB for AUX flaps, Im also sure its not modeled. Only CB I know that is modeled is mid compressor bypass CB for TF-30s in F-14A.

Why? Your mistake was how you were using the controls/flaps - not setting them like that. I have flaps set as axis on the base of the T16000M stick (that mini-throttle slider). Any axis is good, just remember to position it correctly.

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Cause I think it would be better just to do it on and off, this is less likely to have the flaps get stuck. 2 VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

Yeah that's Hornet style and makes sense, though not how the Tomcat actually operated, though not a big deal if you don't care about trying to emulate that as much as possible and for which an axis is ideal. HB put binding support for both ways.

sLYFa Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 IRL the flap handle is actually a switch, its either full down or full up (plus emergency up which is not modelled) 1 i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the lever in the cockpit seems to be, well, a lever, I was thinking that you could do incremental settings of the flaps depending on the position and I was "shocked" heatblur did not model it that way.

Golo Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Only for AUX flaps it functions as a switch. For main flaps, flap handle position corresponds to main flap position continuously between min max position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The axis binding lets you stop part way, at least in the maneuver flap range. I do that every cold start.

Lt_Jaeger Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hmm, OK. Would it do any good to bind an axis besides realism? Currently I got it bound to my warthog flap switch with full up and down. Maneuver flaps are on the stick. Would one use "half" flaps and if so, under which circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
