FSX Flap Extension???

Hello All!!!,

Is there any way to change the sircraft.cfg so that the flaps will extend really smooth instead of so choppy and fast. I am speaking of the visual aspect of the flaps when you are in wing view, on most planes default and addon, the flaps extend very choppy as if you had a low frame rate. I would like for them to extend smoother I have toyed with the flaps section of the aircraft.cfg file but not really getting the result I am looking for. I appreciate any help you guys can give me on this!!!

Thanx in Advance!!!   8-)

Inside the aircraft.cfg, there is two categories saying "Flaps 1" and "Flaps 2". There would be around 8 different lines under both of them. There is one called extension rate or something similar to that. I would usually put it to 36, which is the norm for Boeing 737-700 aircraft.

However to get it smooth, you need to have it fast. But this setting is for realism as it takes around 35 seconds to completely engage the flaps. I don't know of a way to get it slow and smooth. You either have to do it fast and smooth flap extension or slow and choppy flap extension.
