v2.5: Flaps and Tablet Issues

[Jabari]

I'm having a couple of issues with v2.5 in X-Plane 12...

1. It was easier to make a quick video to explain, but basically the flaps won't deploy using my Thrustmaster throttle quadrant.  They sort of "stutter" for lack of a better word, then go back to 0.  The linked video demonstrates the issue.  I initially thought something else was mapped to the flaps and caused a conflict, but I checked every setting on both the throttle quadrant and my yoke.  Link to Video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/tsQ8sUBb3oxcvtg37
   
   EDIT: Something I forgot to mention.  The flaps work in all other aircraft with the current settings.
    
2. The tablet is missing.  I took a screenshot (which I can't find now) and the tablet was on the left yoke.  In the sim itself though, the tablet in nowhere to be found.  Any suggestions?  Link to video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cnDDk5FGXAax3g7v9

The tablet is stored behind copilot's yoke. See here in the online manual. https://airfightergr.github.io/les_c23_docs/all_acfs/lowrightpanel/.

About the flaps, I will do some research and let you know. Probably you might need to setup axis with detents.

I added an option to control flaps via axis. I will try to release the update as soon as I can.

@ilias.tselios Thank you, I look forward to this!

@ilias.tselios It's been a few weeks, just checking back on this update.  Is it slated for a larger release?

Looking to find sometime to do a couple more fixes to cut a new release. Trying to do as fast as possible.

Maybe including brighter panel lighting? (Sorry I can't let go of this--the sim is just too good for this issue to linger)

@ilias.tselios  It's been about 6 months, any chance that update can be deployed?

There are changes in the 12.2.0 that I will include in the update. So expect release close to when the new X-Plane version become final.

glad to hear!

It's been about 9 months almost to the day a fix was posted.  The deployment process for this must be substantial.  I'm a software engineer, I don't mind helping out with that.  Not looking for pay, I'd just like to get this working with my setup...

[ilias.tselios]

I have programmed to release the update in a few weeks.

[Jabari]

It's just short of a year, can this be pushed?  I'm willing to pay for it if necessary...

[Jabari]

It looks like this update isn't going to get pushed.  Is anyone here using the Sundowner with the Honeycomb Bravo or Bravo LITE?  If so, is the flaps lever working?  I'm thinking about purchasing it.

Mine is (Honeycomb Bravo) but I've given up on this aircraft at this point with any fixes and in fact just removed it. Too bad it's kind of fun to fly but the G1000 has a problem once you stop and load another aircraft, you lose functionality due to the custom G1000 commands from the sundowner

I bought the Honeycomb Bravo Lite.  I like it better than the Airbus throttle quadrant I had, but the flap issue is still there.  I really wanted to get their DC-3, but I'm going to pass based on lack of support.

[Jabari]

@Goran_M  It seems like you are offering support for this plane now.  Can the fix mentioned above be deployed?

It looks like an easy fix, but it would require testing, and I want to bundle it with your other forum post fix.  I'll discuss this with Ilias and Cameron and we'll organize something.
