Fsimmer99 0 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 When you want to open or shut the cowl flaps to a certain extent, you have to be very fast on activating / de-activating the switches. For instance when you want to open the flaps halfway (50%) you guess somehow (feeling) when to stop the switches. To check the position, you can hold the mouse on the switch and then you can read the position of the flaps. Most of the time the flaps are further open than supposed to be (in this case 50%) because the flaps open very fast. Furthermore, in turbulence it's difficult to adjust the flaps right away to the wanted position (the panel is then shaking somewhat). So, is there a solution - for instance by adjusting the panel.cfg or the aircraft.cfg somewhere to let the opening and closing process of the flaps more slowly? That would be a nice feature!

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 5, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think the timing is set in the model, not in the cfg's. Not sure but have you tried linking it to an axis like you can do for spoilers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsimmer99 0 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Thank you for your answer, but I don't know how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 7, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted April 7, 2019 I now know P3d and FSX do not allow cowl-flaps to be assigned to an axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsimmer99 0 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Are there other ways to delay the closing and opening sequence of the cowl flaps when operating those switches? I think it's about the way how the switches are programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 9, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted April 9, 2019 We are using the standard FS variables for that. so not as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsimmer99 0 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 So the question is can those FS variables be manipulated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fsimmer99 0 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Are there perhaps other forum members who might give a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 10, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted April 10, 2019 It would really need a new gauge and new MDL for the product to do that. So I would not have too much hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can throw in my two cents worth, its better to use the keyboard. That's how I do it: Ctrl. + Shift + V to open cowl flaps (you can press the V once for one notch, or keep it pressed to open more, etc.) Ctrl. + Shift + C to close This has worked for me flawlessly all these years. Its very practical and easy. (BTW these are default keymappings of FSX) Best of luck. Khalid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
