WeakLink Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) ey all, anyone figure out how to keep the gear handle lite on after shutdown and restart without calling up the SimAPP Pro software? After I shutdown for the night and come back the next day and start the computer all works but the gear handle light is off and I have to enter SimAppPro to recheck the box for gear handle, all panel lights work for both boxes T/O panel and Combat Panel, the panel lite knob works and functions perfectly but the gear handle light requires attention every time I restart my computer. Any body figure out how to work SimAppPro yet? I sure like to fix this gear handle light. WeakLink Also I can't seem to sync the flaps to up, (AUTO) at start up, are the flaps suppose to be in full down position at start up of aircraft or what? I wwould think full up if starting on deck to prevent aircraft movement due to wind hitting the flaps, anyone know. My T/O panel is set to full up (auto) at start up but once the engines start the flap panel indicates full down, cycling the flap switch puts the flaps back in sync. So the question is where are the flaps suppose to be on deck at startup, full up or full down. Edited March 30, 2021 by WeakLink extended question
Oozler Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I have that panel. I believe that led is designed to be that way to prevent early burnout or damage. That being said in the F18 the handle is red when the gear is in transition but not when up or down. I actually dial off the lights on both panels unless I am actually playing.
Bob_Bushman Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 The gear lights is only synched with dcs through the software. As mentioned above it's only transitional, so it's only supposed to be red when the gear tekstens between stowed and fully locked. You can test the light in simapp as well, but i don't think it's supposed to stay on. I fly vr so not much i haven't thought about it. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.
WeakLink Posted March 31, 2021 Author Posted March 31, 2021 That's nice to know info on the gear handle, any comment on the wing flap position at start up on the boat?
Bob_Bushman Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Launch from boat, is STAB trim according to weight, 16-18, you need to be very heavy to go 18, and full flaps (fully down), full burner.

WeakLink Posted March 31, 2021 Author Posted March 31, 2021 Thanks Bob but at start up on the boat should the flaps be full up or full down? My startup indicates full down for flaps seems strange on the boat since the wind might cause movement problems of the aircraft. Just asking. WeakLink
