I downloaded the latest fleet installer for the 757 yesterday (6/30) and installed it, and tried a flight in it tonight. Everything worked fine - with the exception of the flaps and spoilerss. The flaps wont extend, although the flap lever moves and the copilot gives the flap callouts, and the spoilers are the same way. The other fleet installer I've tried (737NG) works just fine, although the autothrottle is very slow to respond to speed changes.

Any suggestions on what may be causing the issue with the flaps/spoilers for the 757?

(Yes, I know I'm not rated in it yet, but that's what practice flights are for!)

Do you have, in your settings, set to SHOW AIRCRAFT ANIMATIONS? That may be an issue.

I have the same problem which 767 Panel The flaps wont extend, although the flap lever moves and the copilot gives the flap callouts, and the spoilers are the same way and doesnt set arm!

While i go settings and Customize so in Graphics Tab i clicked the Advanced Animations and all of them works.

Thanks Andrew biggrin
