outbaxx Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Noticed when I did a take off from external view that when I got airborne the flaps start to rapidly change between 99 to 100%. On the ground it show 100% steady.
exnihilodub Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 what's the status of your landing gear while observing this behaviour? Also the flaps are automatic - You might be inside the airspeed/AoA sweetspot where it changes the flap extension and maybe that's why it's fluctuating.
outbaxx Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 I forgot to mention that it's with gear down, untouched from take off.
exnihilodub Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 yes, you're right it fluctuates rapidly between 99 and 100%. thought it's the SPAK trying to stabilize the flight but it still happens when it's off. Anyway, you can consider it as merely a visual bug. Even though it actually changes the flaps 1%, I don't think the effect will be noticeable.
outbaxx Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 No, I don't think it should do much difference but I just noticed it's there and it shouldn't be afaik :)

The flaps should not move. Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
Goblin Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 By Flaps, do you mean the flaps on the canards or the control surfaces on the main wing?
Goblin Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Ok. I asked, because I've seen some people call the control surfaces 'flaps' :) I can't say I have noticed the flaps move, besides when extending and retracting gear. Will have a look...

I can't see them move, but when in external view and looking at the bottom info bar, the FLP goes rapidly between 99-100 when in air with gear down.
Pocket Sized Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 The value fluctuating is just a visual bug involving the info bar most likely. (Kinda like the RPM in afterburner) In flight, the canard flaps don't move in response to anything other than gear extension/retraction. DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.
