Title: A couple of annoying 707 problems
Post by spotlope on Dec 31st, 2010 at 6:47pm
I got the 707 during the recent sale, and it's quickly becoming my favorite large aircraft. I absolutely LOVE the VC! In fact, I've never envied Travolta before, but knowing that he's got one of these babies in his garage makes me positively green.

But with love comes pain, it seems. A couple of things have been causing me heartache during the last few flights, and I wonder if you guys and gals have any experience with these problems:
  • Flaps: I can't seem to operate them via the normal keyboard commands or controller buttons. Maybe I'm dense or missed this in the docs, but when I use my usual button setup to deploy flaps incrementally, they go from 0 to 14, then all the way to 50. Once there, hitting the "flaps decr" key just bounces them back and forth between 50 and 40, it doesn't actually retract them. The only way I've found to do it is by actually dragging the handle in the VC, which is cumbersome when in the midst of takeoff.

  • Thrust Reversers: For the life of me, I can't come up with a controller button or position on my throttle levers that will activate all 4 reversers. If I press the F2 key and hold it, all four reversers engage as expected, but if I use FSUIPC to send and F2 command when I press a controller button, only reversers 1 and 3 activate. I'm curious about how everyone else does this.
