Flaps Toggle?

[Donut]

Why isn't there a control binding for Flaps Toggle? There is one for gear, but flaps only has up or down.

 

Having the toggle would make life a lot easier for some of us with limited buttons/switches.

I originally had press once half, press twice full set up on my hotas until I bound it to an axis, now it can be set in any position. Seems like that covers all three contingencies no? 1 on, off. 2 half, full, off. 3. Completely adjustable positioning.

I’m new so maybe missing something?

Ill look next time I’m in to get actual search term for you.

Regards

The Real F-14 only had a full up or full down option, nothing in the middle. That is why there is only Up and Down. The axis was added because people wanted it.

It is a legitimate request for playability. Please be so kind and post it in the requested keybinds thread in the bug forum section, it is stickied. Thank you.

Thank you for the response! I will add it there now.

Is that true? The way I understand NATOPS is that the flap/slat gearbox drives the flaps to match the flap handle position, which is definetly an axis and not an up/down switch.

It is true. We have a few maintainers in 11 and they have confirmed it. Also, I believe Victory 203 confirmed that as well, back when this was discussed right after launch.

 

There are 4 positions for the handle (you can find this in the NATOPS), UP, Down, Emergency UP, Emergency Down. Emergency down had no function.

Intersing. Out of curiousity, do you know of the handle is spring loaded to up/down or does it move freely between up and down? Because if the former is the case, there really is no point of having it as an axis IMO.

From Spiceman:

 

"It wasn’t spring loaded, you pushed it outboard, moved it, and it sat in a notch at Up and Down. It had an emergency up and down, but the down did nothing."

 

Hope that helps.

Good to know, thanks!
