Flaps indicators

[Nereid]

In the takeoff procedure of the manual we should check the mechanical indicator on the wing for the flaps. Is there any in the sim?

 

 

Page 93 of the manual:

 

"Takeoff:

[...]

4. Set flaps to takeoff position. Push selector switch located on left side panel.

5. Verify take-off position by observing the mechanical indicator on the wing. The electrical indicator [...]"

I think it means to say "Look out at the wing and see where the flaps are positioned."

Well, I don't think so. You can't see much of the flaps in the cockpit. So I would expect some kind of "mechanical indicator". But I do not see any...

That's right. There's a little hole in the right wing, showing at which degree the flaps are positioned. (30° or 60°)

 

Normally, there is one on every wing, it's reported and should be solved with the first patch, i hope.

LOL. And I just checked the left wing (but didn't know what to look for) and took just a glance on the right. I have never noticed a hole on the right wing so far...

 

But thank you. The manual should explicitely mention a hole not an indicator (I was looking for a red/yellow/whatever-color thingy that were somewhere on the wings)

 

EDIT: It's not just a hole. It's an indicator but not very eye-catching. Anybody looking at the right wing would see it.
