Hi. FDC disconnected when it was time to set flaps on taxi. Im using the default 737 800 FDC set with the PMDG 737 800 on P3d V4.5.

Logs attached.

You have a mismatch with flaps. i.e the number of flaps selected in FDC do not match the number for the aircraft you're using

I checked and FDC profile shows 8, and there are 8 flap positions in the AC as well.

In the past a flap mismatch message would show when I tried to connect...FDC connects Ok, it just quits when the FO tries to set them.
