Flaps?

[Recluse]

I am a little confused about the FLAP operation.  In the CONTROLS setup, there are options for FLAPS UP, FLAPS LANDING POSITION, FLAPS UP/DOWN.  When I use these bound to a switch (FLAPS LANDING POSITION and FLAPS UP)  I can see the FLAP THUMB switch in the cockpit animating.

HOWEVER, the manual seems to make a distinction between the F(lap) setting and the Thumb Switch setting as shown below.

Is this a holdover from the Full fidelity module and we only have the indicated FLAP controls?

I can use the mapped commands to toggle the flaps between the FULL, FXD and UP positions, so I guess that is all we need? There does not seem to be an AUTO setting.

 

EDIT: OK never mind.. I flew around a bit and saw the FLAP position go to AUTO as needed.  So I guess AUTO is enabled.. er... AUTOMATICALLY.

1. Press F twice to fully extend flaps, set Thumb Flap switch on the Throttle to AUTO. Flap Indicator - Verify FULL.
