Hi guys,
A short (and perhaps silly) question from someone who is more active in the CFS3 forum but rediscovered carrier-landings (not seriously available in CFS3):
I tried Dino's F-14D v2.40 but the FSX "flaps down (in increments)" command doesn't seem to work from within the VC. Using the command in an external view I can see the flaps drop and back in the VC, both the lever and the indicator show 'flaps down'. In the VC however, I can only 'click+drag' the flap lever with my mouse as the keyboard command doesn't seem to do anything. Unfortunately, fiddeling with my mouse and TrackIR is rather distracting when it comes to keeping the donut on the AoA indexer: vLSO doesn't like my erratic flying (not improved by my TM Cougar's stiff springs) and cuts me off before even getting near the groove :banghead: (Nice program, btw!! :adoration:). So a working keyboard command would be better for me.
I went through Dino's docs en read how he set up the wing sweep / flap etc. but I couldn't see/find a solution. I also searched the web but as no-one else reported this thing, it must be me. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong or how to properly operate the flaps in this aircraft?
Thanks!!
