Post subject:  Profile won't connect...
I am trying to make a profile for an Antonov An12, but when I try to connect FDC I get an error message saying that the flap detentes are different. The message doesn't make sense to me though: "... the panel you are using in FS has 3 flap positions but FDC is configured to use 3..." Sounds ideal to me!

So what could the problem be?

The flaps section of the An12 aircraft.cfg file is:
Code: Select all
[Flaps.0]
type= 1
span-outboard= 0.800
extending-time= 10.000
system_type= 0
damaging-speed= 270.000
blowout-speed= 320.000
lift_scalar= 1.17
drag_scalar= 1.13
pitch_scalar= 1.000
flaps-position.0= 0.000, 0.000
flaps-position.2= 15.000, 0.000
flaps-position.3= 25.000, 0.000
flaps-position.6= 35.000, 0.000
and in the pro file this shows as:
Code: Select all
[Flaps]
Preset=51
FP1=0
FP2=0
FP3=0
FP4=0
FP5=0
FP10=0
FP15=1
FP20=0
FP25=1
FP30=0
FP35=1
FP40=0
The performance file looks OK to me too - I attach it to the post.

Thanks for any help!

Hopefully our Performance file guru will be along shortly... he may even have a working file :)

OK, solved. I changed the aircraft.cfg flaps entry to:

flaps-position.0= 0.000, 0.000
flaps-position.1= 15.000, 0.000
flaps-position.2= 25.000, 0.000
flaps-position.3= 35.000, 0.000

and now FDC connects fine (the uco and pro files I'd created had no problems)... not sure why the positions were set as they were, I may find that something in the a/c doesn't work now, we'll see...

Sounds like fun and games I had with SStSim's Concorde and it's flaps section... :lol:
