Title: Re: Flap Handle Markings Fix

Captain Sim 2;

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about what I was trying to accomplish. I wasn't trying to customize your plane, I just wanted the handle animation to work correctly.

The issue that I corrected was that the movement of the flap handle itself didn't match the flap setting.  If you selected "25 degrees" the gauge on the panel would say 25 but the handle didn't line up with the number 25  :D  I saw that other people had noticed this problem too and figured a simple texture edit was an easy way to fix it.  

The updated file makes it so that when the flap gauge on the panel says 5,15, 25, and 30 degrees the flap handle on the virtual cockpit pedestal will be in line with those numbers. That way you can tell at a glance in the VC what your flap setting is. I'm assuming that must be how it works in a real cockpit, regardless of the cockpit layout.

Based on your picture I will go back and add in the number "20" between 15 and 25 - that way it will have the functionality as well as the original look. When I am done I will post here.

Thanks and have a good day -
Matt
