investigating FLAP Switch

[celestHawk]

Hello,

Whenever I try to move the FLAP switch either 'Takeoff from parking hot' or 'Takeoff from runway' I must 'push' the switch with mouse cursor and then I'm able to actuate the switch with a key bind 'F' or controller.

It is not speed related, I checked the manual once again and is not starting to work before pressing it with the mouse.

My guess is that most of the time we start it on the ramp cold and we must switch it to AUTO position in order to perform the FLCS test on surfaces that's is stayed unnoticed or am I missing something?

Hi, do you have any key assigned to the flaps on his HOTAS/Joystick? 
If so, can you actuate the flaps via these key binds?

thank you
