Hardware Flap Level Problems

[Cam]

JGregory,

I am still having problems with my Honeycomb flap lever and getting the sim lever into the gates so that the flaps move. I am using a set of gates that fit onto the Honeycomb quadrant and they worked fine with V1.5.x, but the changes are causing me problems.

Moving my lever from flap 0 to flap 5 and subsequent down settings works fine if I do it carefully, but moving from flap-down 35 to flap-up selections doesn't work properly unless I overshoot the next selection and then bring it back to the selection I wanted.

I remember in another thread you mentioned that you had increased the tolerances on the gates and that appears to have helped with the flap-down selections. Is it possible to adjust the gate tolerances again to help with this?

Cheers

First, the Saab does not have a "flaps 5" setting.   There should be absolutely NO difference between increasing or decreasing the flap setting, the gates are the same.  We are limited in the tolerances of the gates so we won't be increasing them any further.  This may be related to your hardware, maybe another user with the same setup can help out.
