FOZZ: Since you fly it frequently, I have a Q about the Cessna C150L. I have flaps programmed into the stick but I can't seem to find any control for the flaps on the plane's panel. There's a slot next to the trim wheel that looks like it might be for flaps but it doesn't function. I use flaps while flying it and hear the sound FX but can't see any sign of flaps moving up or down. No lights. Nothing. .Do you haver the same problem? Is this standard or is it a bug?

Den. Have a peek around the cockpit, It may be a lever located on the floor?

Look at the designers illustrations of the aircraft cockpit in the .pdf file....it will probably show you where it is?

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004....!

Edit.....Rom got it located!.... Wink

...its certainly located in a peculiar place, for a Cessna 150/152!... Shocked

That is the indicator. The control for the elec. flaps is located to the right of the mixture control (half hidden by the right yoke), an up/down momentary toggle.

The dark windows always bothered me too......if you want the fix I can email it to you, it very easy to do, and it makes a huge difference.
I'm not certain as to the location of the actual switch for those flaps, if you look at my picture there is a switch right around the area that it should be but the right yoke is kinda in the way to actually see if thats it........as for the flap controls being down between the seats......they sound electric not mechanical, but I've flown an old 150.

Rom....many years ago, someone gave me the "fix" for those scratched/cloudy windows...(lost it!).... but I don't generally use that 150...

Maybe Den might like it though...?

ROM: Weird place for it. But I should have spotted it. As Sherlock Holmes said to Watson: "You see but you don't observe". Thanks for enlightening me.

PS You're a little low on your approach in that photo. LOL (Just being a smartass to cover my initial embarrassment at not spotting the indicator) Grin

But probably that's not you flying that plane.
