Title: Re: flaps setting.
Post by waynelp on Aug 19th, 2010 at 12:09am
Thanks fellas, now I have figured this out on my own.
Like I said up above I am using the pedistal flaps lever with the mouse and I use the keyboard. I also have a very extensive cockpit simulator I fly with so all levers are activated by real levers and switches by couterparts on my cockpit.
I was used to other aircraft to set the flaps at the specified degree before or while pretakeoff check.  I saw that with this A/C, I set the degree I wanted and when I was ready to take off and the engines throttle was activated the flaps would go to where I had set them. I don't know if this is correct or not but it works.

I really like the looks of this aircraft. I was waiting for this 707 for FSX for some time now. I do have one beef though. In order to use the autopilot one has to  look down on the pedestal to work the functions.  This I know is realistic, but it has been really hard to do this and still maintain an atitude with the aircraft. I think a pop up window for the autopilot control would help a great deal. It is a safety issue here and my passengers would appreciate not taking a roller coaster ride when I try to mess with the pedestal control area.  It is hard to chew gum and fly at the same time.
Thanks
