Hi. The VCP does not deploy flaps 1. If I do it myself he then does the rest as normal, but I went down to 180kts and still no flaps 1 set. (yes box is checked for VCP controls gear and flaps)
I am using FS9 with CS 757-200, user profile from Avsim.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Please recreate the problem then send me the latest black box log from your FDC\Logs folder

Is it the profile i made for Boeing 757-200/300?

Hi Dave...thank you for responding! Yes I'm using your 757 profile from Avsim...problem is that Flaps 1 dont come down until 170 kts...which is no good because I need Flaps one way higher...around 260-240 kts... and to make matters worse...fdc doesnt honer my changes in performance editor...

I don't know if this is related but Pre start. Before PB and Before start checks all play in a row without being told to even though I'm in Semi auto mode...


thanks again..tell me what you think

mmm....interesting, that FDC wouldn't let you make changes?
I use it in full auto mode..
As for making changes,what does FDC tell you or do?

Hi. I have the black box log...default email is not found so i have to send the raw file manually.
The only thing I noticed is that decent mode does not get activated until very late...does descent mode need to be activated for flaps 1 to come down?

Thanks for the log.

Firstly you are running a very old and unsupported version of FDC (3.9), the latest version is 3.14, so please download and install from the forum.

Secondly, I cannot see ANY entry of 260 in your landing data taken from the performance file.

I'll upgrade to the new version...and I'll do the flight over again but without any mods just to be safe...in the meantime...does descent mode need to be activated for the VCP to deploy flaps...and if so...what triggers it...thanks for taking a look.

Descent

This mode is set under various conditions:-

1 . After the ‘cruise briefing’ cabin announcement has been made and the
aircraft descends below the DescentAltitude trigger

2. Subject to condition #1 and If aircraft drops below 2,000 (this was put
in place to cater for emergency landings after takeoff

3. If Flightmode is set to Landed (i.e. Aircraft actually touched down) and
now the airspeed is increasing and we’re climbing (+VSI)… to cater for
touch ‘n’ goes)

4. If ‘cruise briefing’ has not been played but aircraft descends below the
trigger altitude the announcement flag is bumped so the next one to
play will be the ‘approach briefing’

Note: The DescentAlt trigger is set to the highest altitude reached (to a
maximum of 1 2,000’) We then subtract a modifier which is 1 0% if the
DescentAlt is set to 1 2,000 (the max) or 20% if it’s less than 1 2,000. So if
cruising at 1 2,000 or above the trigger altitude is set to 1 0,800. If cruising at
6,000 the trigger altitude is set to 4,800

The Co pilot does every command throughout the whole flight except deploy the flaps and gear on approach...i am mailing you the logs...thanks.
