Hi guys,

can anybody tell me what flap setting I use when taking off with a 737-700. I can take off with any flaps I like but which to use? I ask because FSPassengers is always telling me I used the wrong setting.

Thanks in advance,

General, all-around takeoff flaps should be 5.  A heavy or short-field takeoff and you could use 10, in extreme cases 15 (although not recommended).

What had you been using?

5-10 most of the times. I tried most of them, although I thought it was a little bit stupid to  use flaps 40 on take-off.

Thanks, Beefhole. I was going to do that anyway.

Some FS9 crews use the default B734 Checklist settings as a reference. This html webpage can be placed in any other aircraft folder.

The settings I use are posted in red

Thanks for the info Wji, but it is probably a problem with FSPassenger.
