I just experienced what could be a bug with FSPX. On approach at RJAA, at 220kts, I attempted to extend 1 notch of flaps. The copilot then
informs me that the flaps are stuck and not extending. So, I have to land the 767 with no flaps at all. That went smoothly enough, but when I ended
the flight and looked at the Flight Report, I see that there's a flap speed penalty. I'm pretty sure that I didn't go over flap speed on takeoff and,
obviously, I couldn't have done so on approach since I had no flaps.
I figured I throw this out so that maybe it could be looked at. I wonder if maybe FSP thinks that the flaps are extended when their in this stuck
state. When you try to extend them, you still hear the flap extension noise. If not, I'll just assume that I must have unknowingly gone over a bit
on T/O.
