that's cool to have that information here, it helps us all become better pilots, but does FSP follow those same rules.
for example, if FSP has a rule saying :
IF plane = 744 AND flaps ARE NOT 5 or 10 THEN penalise pilot.
so in english, FSP wants flaps 5 or 10 on takeoff for a 744, but if we use 20 it penalises us. we think 20 is ok, fsp doesn't. Does FSP tell
us what values are acceptable.
for example:
You took off using 20' of flap in a 744. Acceptable values are 5 or 10.
Because if FSP does not tell us what it thinks the acceptable values are, then we'll keep making the same mistakes, and we'll have to
keep changing the settings and hoping we'll get it right, becaues we don't know what FSP wants them to be.
NOTE:
The example above is purely fictional. I am in no position to say FSP requires flaps at 5 or 10' for takeoff in a 744. The figures are purely
there to illustrate a point.
