ScottecLEMD 14 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hi I have just updated to V1.16 and Hotfix 1.19 and now I have a problem on my take-off roll. I use the checklist and FO option. Aircraft is fully configured for take off, all weights within limits, trim set per Flaps 1 setting and corresponding FMGC settings. TO Config checks OK and all ECAM status messages are green prior to departure. Once I line up on the and advance the throttles to either TOGA or FLEX, I instantly get a TO Config warning - Flight Controls - Flaps not set for takeoff. This warning continues until approximately 100kts then ceases. I don't believe I am doing anything wrong. I have been flying the A320 almost daily since I purchased it but have only now experienced this on the latest updates. I am running Windows 7, 64bit, 8Gb Ram, Nvidia 1Gb, FSX Sp2 Any help would be much appreciated. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Is your takeoff configuration CONF1 or CONF1+F? One issue could be, your hardware flaps lever is commanding CONF1 instead of CONF1+F (CONF1 isn't allowed for T/O; CONF1 has been introduced as an additional configuration in one of the versions preceding v1.16). The fix would be to re-configure your hardware for the additional configuration. Another issue could be, you entered a different flaps setting in the MCDU (flaps 2 or flaps 3), while trying to take off in CONF1+F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottecLEMD 14 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for the reply. The only hardware I have is a mouse and keyboard so no changes there. Also, I usually set Flaps 1 in the FMC and then, the Checklist with FO enable usually selects the Flaps for T/O. I will get a screen shot next time I fly and upload.

ScottecLEMD 14 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ok so did another flight using the keyboard to select Flaps 1 and also inputted Flaps 1 into FMC page. Same result - no TO Config error until throttles are opened - see screen shot attached, If I need to configure for Flaps 1+F how do I do that (if this is what's causing the problem) although the ECAM page does show Flaps 1+F??

cgentil 163 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Not properly config for TO, slat is extended and flap isnt, the warning is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottecLEMD 14 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks Guys Guilty as charged, I had changed the ACT_MODEL so that ATC would recognise the aircraft type. Changed it all back and now works correctly, ECAM and external model now properly configured for Flaps 1+F for Take Off. Thanks again. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
