How to - Flaps?
 

I've been lurking these sim forums since early Dec or so. Consensus led me to AFPD and I'm thoroughly pleased. Very trick program. I had zero problems loading or it recognizing my Futaba T6EXA. A bare minimum 64MB DDR NVIDIA GeForce4 MX420 gives me 60/70 FPS.

Most of you guys apparently are experienced hot doggers. I pretty much prefer slow, low and scale, and lots of landings. So far that is, because I've only got a couple gallons of fuel into an LT40. I got this sim to help better connect my brain to my fingers, and it's working. Very cool. I don't "stay away" from the "boring" trainers as suggested, and, I'm getting a Sundancer ready for spring, so I've been messing with both the Stearmans a lot. Don't know how close they are, but it's tons of fun.

Anyway, in the real world I rigged my LT40 with Flaps, flaperons actually. In AFPD I can't get anything but opposing throws through the flap channel for the Trainer60 (and Stearman.) It's just duplicating my normal aileron channel. Reversing one "flap" doesn't "reverse" it either. Am I SOL or dumb as to how to do it?

PS For the guys that want them, the "Trainer60" does tip stalls big time, but it sure doesn't fly like a Pitts :-)

Hello,
From the main menu, navigate to the calibrate section. Then you must choose the "advanced" settings. Set the left aileron on channel 6.

Do what crowfly just said to do. AFP will never let you down, it has many more "can do's" then "can't do's".

Just like in real RC plane you must assign 2 channels to the ailerons.

:D

Duh! Wasn't thinking - (not rare.)

Thanks
