Topic: Fix for Linda setting take-off flaps to 2

Linda sets take-off flaps to 2 in after start procedure. This results with her not recognizing flap setting in before take-off checklist unless commanded to set flaps to 1. Here is a fix that works for me:

Make the following changes in the PROCEDURES.txt file;

execute=8,sim/cockpit2/controls/flap_ratio,0.2500000, - this makes her set flaps to 1 instead of 2.

execute=1,Flaps one set!,0.000000, - this makes her reply with "Flaps one set!" instead of please set flaps for take-off position.

Hope this helps!

What are you talking about? Yes she always sets them to 2 but flap position is determined by the weight of the plane. If the plane is heavy and based on other situations flap 2 is correct and other times its 1. The truth here is she should be looking at what has been imput in the fms to determine the proper settings and not force it to 1 on every takeoff.
