Help me! Flap cannot operate after landing

[uboats]

After landing, I can neither fully retract nor fully extend the flap by using shortcut key (not mouse operation in pit) (the handler in the pit is switched back to middle position immediately after I placed it to retract position or to full-extend position. Or even if the handler can stay at either retract or full-extend position, in F2 view, no animation for flap)

 

Btw, why the I cannot see the sighting reticle on the glass?

 

Attached is the trk.

The sight needs to be switched on using the master arm switch on the lower central panel in front of the joystick.

 

The experts will give you an answer regarding the flaps. I haven't come across that particular problem before though.

Which short-cut key?

 

There are 3.

 

Flaps operate as follows:

 

F = Flaps completely down or completely up. Once you press F then the Flaps will automatically extend completely. If the process is at any time interrupted by pressing F again, then they will retract completely: No middle ground.

 

LShift F = Flaps Down. Whilst holding down LShift, F key can be used to set desired degree of Flaps down. If you want 6 degrees, just hold LShift and press F and release F when desired angle is obtained. Keep going until Flaps meet their maximum deflection angle.

 

LCtrl F = Flaps Up. Whilst holding down LCtrl, F key can be used to set desired degree of Flaps Up. If you want 10 degrees, just hold LCtrl and press F and release F when desired angle is obtained. Keep going until Flaps meet their maximum deflection angle.

 

Same principles above can be used with lever In-Cockpit.

 

 

Checked your track, took control and all is in order.

last two set to my ch throttle.

That happened just after landing at kutaisi

As stated, you need to hold the LShift/LCtrl key depressed and the F key depressed for them to extend. If you press the short-cut key once and release, the flaps will not move.

 

Flaps will only extend/retract whilst key/s is/are held down.

Ok yeah does your CH stick input a continuous keypress or not?

 

Easiest way to check this is as follows:

 

When encountering a problem, attempt to replicate again with a very short mission, in this instance set up a Sabre runway-start mission. Once spawned in, test operation of Flaps with your CH throttle, ie Flaps up and Flaps down.

 

If they are operating correctly, toggling the switch for Flaps down should extend them completely unless interrupted. If interrupted, they will stay in their position they were when interrupted. Same for Flaps Up.

 

Just check with a quick mission and verify that they are functional or not. If not, I suspect your CH throttle switches are not sending a continuous input command.

Then i took off but found flap did not work either. Later i switched to another f86, and for that new one everything went fine. The weird thing is that handler animation is unnormal, as described above. My prev landing was fine, no any damage to any system.

If you are experiencing gremlins like that, best to run a repair and see if that sorts out any issues.

i will later replay the trk and see whether the problem is still there.

Thank you
