2 questions for PM's Boeing ?

[Eddie Armaos]

Hi,

last week a made some tests and i changed for a flight my 737 txt file in CDU
to
a 747 and then back to 737 i had.
Today with the 737 txt file again i don't have the correct flap settings i
had
before the test. Do you know where is the problem?


And.... something else about V/S. I was flying at 3000feet approaching LGTS
and
i dialed 1500 and by pushing V/S for descent before the a/c starts the
descent
the V/S was switching off. So i didn't make it to descent in autopilot from
3000 to 1500 and i made it manually. Is a minimum limit for v/s?


Thanks


Eddie

Each flight model may have a different flap position and
offset value correspondence, so if you change from a 747
flight model in FS to a 737 flight model, you need to
correct the flap postion/setting list in the config file.

I will test it, but I haven't observed it here yet...
