Trouble With F18(fsx) Flaps in acrobatic flight

[Furax0]

Hello,
i've got sone issues with the Flaps in acrobatics with F-18 (FSX acceleration)


Fspax keep telling me thats my flaps are out at high speed and damage it.

and im sure at 200% thats my flaps are up.

I used the serviceman command but it doesn't work

[flaps.0]
type = 2 // 1 - tail, 2 - lead
span-outboard = 0.8 // 0.0 .. 1.0
extending-time = 2.05 // seconds
flaps-position.0 = 0 // degrees
flaps-position.1 = 12 // degrees
flaps-position.2 = 33 // degrees
max_on_ground_position = 1
maneuvering_flaps=1
damaging-speed = 700// KIAS
blowout-speed = 850 // KIAS
[flaps.1]
type = 1 // 1 - tail, 2 - lead
span-outboard = 0.8 // 0.0 .. 1.0
extending-time = 2.05 // seconds
flaps-position.0 = 0 // degrees
flaps-position.1 = 30 // degrees
flaps-position.2 = 45 // degrees
maneuvering_flaps=1
damaging-speed = 700// KIAS
blowout-speed = 850 // KIAS

of course i set some extreme value thats i never reach in a acrobatic flight




does someone got a clue to fix this.

Thanks You

Hi Furax, welcome to the forum. If you are 200% certain that the flaps are up, I could not begin to tell you why you get the flaps damage
during aerobatic flight.

Can it not be possible that it goes automatic????
I flown the F-18 in FSX-ACC myself and you can switch between manual operating the flaps or (semi)automatic....
In the last case when flying on a certain angle or speed the a/c extend and retracts the flaps by it self.
If this is the case switch to manuel.

Its the automatic flaps systeme who cause the dammage to the fllaps.

I tried to switch it off but "noway" to doing it (or i didnt find it).

so if my speed and AoA a bit highis over =260 the flaps are damaged .

I can do acrobactic but with the speed of piper cub :D


if anyone got a way to switch off autoflaps


thx.

Here two pics on where you can find the switch:

There isn't such a switch in the FSX F/A-18.

What you can do is disable the automatic flaps by editing the aircraft.cfg file of the aircraft which is located in the FSX folder (go into simobjects
--> aircrafts --> look for the F/A-18 folder, aircraft.cfg is there). Open the file with notepad and look there for lines called:

"maneuvering_flaps=1"

and turn them into:

"maneuvering_flaps=0"

And then start FSX. You should be able to manually control the flaps. Edit the file once again and revert your changes to get automatic flaps again.

Yes there is DareDevil.
I myself was flying the F/A-18 in FSX and there is a switch.
As you can see on the picture.
But yes they way you discribe is also possible.

The switch you quote exists, but it is an additional manual flap control will allow you to deploy partially or fully the flaps on top of what the
automatic system does. It does not switch off the automatic flap control which is always enabled unless you disable it via editing aircraft.cfg.
