I have the DVA 757 installed and I can not get the flaps to extend. I extend the flaps and I hear the verbal command but nothing happens. My hydraulics are all on and all other flight controls move as ordered. I checked the outside of the plane and the flaps are not extended and when I try to take off I get the loud TO configuration warning. I found a few post when searching google and found some folks with similar issues. No one ever had a solution other than dump the Lonny Payne panel and go basic POSKY. I'd like to use the panel but will drop if if need be. If anyone has run into this before and has a solution I would love to hear it.

I'm not sure if it will work for you,but I had the same problem.I found out by messing with the panel and different switches.It was the 2 switches in lower right of the main panel that are labeled TE,LE.If they are lit up with the word ALT the flaps will not come down.Make sure that the word ALT is not showing in either the switches.Hope that my help you out....Good Luck

I had the same problem once. I just silenced the system and tried the alternates. I still had nothing. I restarted the flight and everything worked fine. It was just a one time gig for me. Take the -57 out for a spin again and see if it works.

Thanks for the input. I loaded a different version of the 752-200 and the flaps worked....think it was the 757-2Q8 model that was installed. The only problem then was the GPS panel would not open. I'll keep monkeying with it. Thinking about buying the PSS 752 anyway. I have heard good things about it.

The PSS is no longer available. Next thing would be Captain Sim

well folks...I uninstalled...re-installed without the panel and flew a flight. That worked fine but I really wanted the panel so i removed the package and re-installed again. This time I was able to extend the flaps as soon as I started the engines. I flew a quick flight from KSEA - KATL and enjoyed a wonderful flight. I even used the Autoland feature and it put the airplane down real nice. This is a great plane.

Thanks for the suggestions.
