    Problem with flaps settings in PM ECIAS

    I’m trying to get the flaps set right in the ECIAS for my B747-400. When I move my (home made) flap lever from 5 to 10 the ECIAS flaps indicator doesn’t stop at 10 but keeps moving to 20. Ive tried changing the Flppos values in the B747-400 text file in the CDU folder but nothing changes. I tried setting detents in FUIPC in the Flaps calibration but that didn’t help either. The flaps refuse to stop at 10 when either deploying or retracting. What am I missing?

    Hi Jerry,

    Did you ever got an answer or figured out how to fix this? I have the same problem.

    No, someone suggested I check the FSX aircraft.cfg file but that was no help.

    I have the same problem too using 737, on another PC running the same GC the flap settings are correct, even reinstalling doesn't work.

    Have you guys tried to use the flap tool on the (M)CDU ? To be found under the maintenance items...
