Blinking MCP speed

[Vespa]

Sorry for silly question...but what does the blinking led on MCP speed window mean?

See the video ( very short )

Looks to me like you are exceeding the flaps limit, I would presume its this.

It means the commanded speed can not be reached, you probably has some flaps still going on and the aircraft is protecting itself not to rip them. Do you use an external lever for flaps?

Mhh...I almost sure the flaps were up ....I'll check it. Thanks for feedback

[mmerelles]

@Vespa as per your video, the flap lever gauge on the front panel shows they are up/closed. BUT when you use external hardware lever the flaps may still be 0.0001% deployed (xplane does not support nullzone for this yet), thus they look up/closed while they are not.

Ah...I see. Thanks a lot mmerelles

Hi,

 

If you still want to use an axis with your flap lever, I recommend you to check this nice little script : http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/30886-flap-axis-detent/

 

It will make sure you always select an actual possible flap value, so no more 0.000001% deployed flaps.
