Flap Explosion Speed

[Wreck1463]

I had to add this:
"flap explosion speed" is suggesting something other than what is happening. That implies that there is fire and such. The term "flap
blow up" speed, means that there is too much air blowing on the flaps, and therefore the flaps are forced back up into the wing, or "blown
up" into the wing. Sorry for being picky, but flap explosion kinda gave me a chuckle.
Anyways, I noticed this on another plane (the mooney maybe?), and hope it's resolved in an update.

Yes, I know they don't actually explode, but they make a pretty good bang, and I was attempting to be humorous.

What is says on the insterment panel is meaningless so you can toss that part out compleatly. To find out the vfe you can check either the
load data when first starting the flight or the inflight report which will also give these values.
Your aircraft.cfg shows you will destroy your flaps if you go above 130kts (blowout-speed= 130.000). Is it possible you have something in
FSX set wrong, such as showing total airspeed rather than indicated airspeed for example, so your gauge is not showing the real
airspeed of your aircraft?
The damaging speed should be taken into account at all, but I have found that FSX likes to throw in bad things on its own which totally
mess things up.
Look at [flaps.0] entries:

damaging-speed= 105.000
blowout-speed= 130.000

to be safe and not have FSX doing dumb things, change the damaging speed to to the blowout speed value to make sure there isn't
something particular with this aircraft having values read wrong. If that still shows vfe in the inflight report or similar screen as 90kts try
upping both values to say 150 and try again to see if there is any change. If there is still no change there is a problem with your aircraft
itself not conforming to FSX standard being the root of the problem.

On a side note, why do you have your payload.ini file forced? if that is being required to have your aircraft recognized it looks like you were
having a problem right from the start.
