Flap lever/ Autopilot/ exterior modeling of the aircraft

[flyboy_1000]

Hi,

I got a couple questions

1. I was wondering when I am descending with VNAV why the FMA always changed between RETARD and FMC SPEED. Is this normal for a real life 737? When I lose speed it goes to FMC speed but when I get to that speed it goes back to RETARD. 

 

2. I feel like this is a bug but the flap lever seems to go all the way around sometimes. I cant provide a screenshot at this moment

3. I noticed the that some of the exterior modeling was missing on the wing. There are tiny wholes. Here is a screen shot link.

Thanks for the help!!

1. This seems right to me. SPEED mode means the the A/T needs to add thrust to reach or maintain the Speed that is dialed in. RETARD means the A/T goes to idle thrust and is yet able to maintain the selected speed. During descend this will change due to change in selected speed and/or altitude restrictions, either by the FMS or your ALT selection.

2. Never saw that. Does not mean you didn't.

3. I really never got that close to the wings. Too afraid to hit my head.

Here is a screenshot of when the flap is going wired. Keep in mind it goes all the way around. One other question. The sim coders head shake does not seem to be compatible with the 737. It does not seem to work. Anyone else have problems with it working with the plane? There are not Touchdown effects, etc

Hi, have any idea on *when* this happens? Can you reproduce it or is it random?  What kind of hardware do you use? It happens when you use the keys 1/2, some assigned button, or axis?

It is random, I use a mac. It happens when I use the 1 and 2 keys.  This is the screenshot   http://prntscr.com/b5qih5
