MaxMotoring Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 After testing during cruise flight "Mach Speed Warning test No2" which made flaps suddenly deploy to 30º position and subsequently crashing the Gizmo64, I exited X-Plane and reloaded. In the following flight and at reaching TOC the deployment happened again, this time without any intervention. X-plane 10.45 64bit Win 8.1Pro iXEG 733 version 1.06 downloaded with the interim hotfix zip. Quote

MaxMotoring Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 Yes, the CH Throttle quadrant. Quote

Home desktop hardware has cheap potentiometers that keep sending noise/signals to the simulator no matter you are not touching them at all, the problem increases with usage overtime. Anytime during the flight, your flap hardware lever sends a bad/noise signal making the aircraft think you moved the lever, flaps extend, they get ripped due to overspeed and you crash. You can stabilize the aircraft if you are fast enough to react and retract them and landing with no flaps. bottom line: do not use hardware levers for flaps neither speed brakes unless you want to keep crashing mid-flight. Use buttons instead. Flaps up one notch, flaps down one notch. There is a lua script that was released some time ago trying to create detents, ignore noise spikes coming from the potentiometers. I am not using it so i can not comment. You can try. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/30886-flap-axis-detent/ Edited June 28, 2016 by mmerelles Quote
Rodeo Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Interim hotfix should install version 1.0.7 - if the menu is showing 1.0.6, the hotfix is not properly installed. Quote
MaxMotoring Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 ok, I´ll disconnect the hardware and sorry, it is 1.07 indeed, as the zip installler did work ok. I´ll test without the hardware and report if this happens again. thank you. Quote
