Hi,

After landing, when below a certian threshold speed, my FDC calls 'flaps up'... Unfortunately, this is not correct for my aircraft! In the Boeing 717 (and I expect other aircraft with fuselage mounted engines) the flaps are set to a medium setting after landing (in this case 18 degrees) until entering the gate, to reduce the chance or foreign object ingestion.
Having looked through the FDC settings, I cannot see a way to turn off this without turning off the flap calls in general (which are otherwise great). Is there a way? If not, could there be one added in a future update? Obviously I can just live with it and give the FO a dirty look / show them the checklist but while rebuilding my sim I thought I'd ask about it!

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Not possible at the moment but I will certainly add it to my list

...I just can't remember how it used to be!
