Mike_CK Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 Well, having been flying many of the advanced high fidelity modules for 5 years, I feel like a moron asking this but here goes: what is the damn key binding to put the regular vanilla flaps down for takeoff/landing and up? I see all sorts of “flap switch” and out and down. I’ve tried almost all of them and I can’t get them down. What do I bind them too? Is there a special trick?
Mike_CK Posted May 23, 2024 Author Posted May 23, 2024 (edited) Thank you. I have not been able to download the manual yet so thank you although im sure I tried those bindings to no effect. Guess I’ll give it another shot. Wasn’t sure if there was a fuse or something Edited May 23, 2024 by Mike_CK

Mike_CK Posted May 23, 2024 Author Posted May 23, 2024 Yeah…problem is I couldn’t find the flap handle inside the cockpit to put the thing on!

LG_Barons Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 (edited) The designation "out" is always for the slats. The switch is actually called Slats out - Flaps Down switch For beginners, you use only out and down position and norm. The "out" position locks the slats in the out position. For "Pros" it is useful in dogfight because you do not have, during the onsets of G´s the additional "tuck in", when the slats are coming out because of AOA. This is normally not a problem in the game, but in the real aircraft you end up with an over G, hence you don't have to explain it after the flight to maintenance, nobody cares. So just use a 2 position switch out and down and norm. Btw the real aircraft also has a speed switch. At around 242 knots the flaps will be blown up so you can't overspeed them, and they will come down below 220 knots again. Edited May 23, 2024 by LG_Barons 5
albix Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 Can anyone tell me how to bind to the Thrustmaster Warthog flap control? Thank you. 1

Looking at the binds (if you need to assign it), you assign the following: * FLAP SWITCH UP - "Norm/Out (3-way down)" * FLAP SWITCH DOWN - "Out&Down/Out (3-way up)" They seem to have "3-way up" and "3-way down" labels backwards! This is how it is mapped here, and works as expected.

Mike_CK Posted May 24, 2024 Author Posted May 24, 2024 Got it. I was above 212kts…that’s why they weren’t coming down. 2
Slippa Posted May 29, 2024 Posted May 29, 2024 I had them bound to the wrong setting. Trying to go through the taxi tutorial Jester had us in stitches frantically telling us ‘flaps out” over and over. Fumble fingers over here in a flap of my own. Glad someone posted the solution however simple, cheers. Had to have a cheeky take-off. It was like being in school all over again. Misbehaving having someone in my ear telling me to “get back in the corridor”. I’ve no idea where the corridor is, I was just gonna do a bit of sightseeing. Blowy up there too as I blew his canopy off as we got going. His fault really, he shoulda been quicker. It’ll all go in my report o course . 1
SuperTonique Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 In the real flight manual, we can read that the full flaps Take Off is prohibited. So, how can I take off with the 1/2 flaps position ? The logic given in the Heat Blur manual is not in concordance with this restriction. On ground, with the flaps/slats control in the middle position, the flaps and the slats are fully down and out. No intermediate position is available. Any idea about the problem ?

I believe Navy Phantoms (B, J, N, S) had two position flaps 30/60, and the leading edge drooped down like the flaps.
