Using Simkits flaps gauge for 737-7
8 positions non linear
Calibration is in percentage, anyone having the values for each position?

Hi Jack,

This is the answer I got from Simkits support:

"For the B737 for example, the position 0 = 0% and the full flaps are 40° = 100%, so 10° are 25% and so on... When calibrating, you should assign 0 to the field for the position 0 (0%), 25 to the field for the position 10° (25%), 62.5 for 25° and so on...

In the case of the 737 the flaps are:
0° -> 0%
1° -> 2.5%
2° -> 5%
5° -> 12.5 %
10° -> 25%
15° -> 37.5%
25° -> 62.5%
30° -> 75%
40° -> 100% "

That gets you in the ball park, but you still have to adjust each position individually.
