This thread started on a faulty, Mooney tachometer... now I think we need to check Fozz's airspeed-indicator..

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?

No...I don't use that one....(Windows too dark...although there is a fix for that)....;)..!

I use the little Cessna 150 Aerobat...(C150_V2.zip).....140 knots!

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!.... ;)...!

...its certainly located in a peculiar place, for a Cessna 150/152!... :o....Unless that is just the "Indicator"...and the Lever is actually somewhere else!!

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.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

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.

dave beat me to it ;)

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...?

Yokes?....nasty things!...get in the way!...You can see why I prefer to use my trusty Joystick... ;D... ;D... ;D...!

Paul......and that's no Yoke ....Joke!..... ;D

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