Flap position message location improvement suggestion

Post by rrk001 » Sun Jul 18, 2021 1:27 pm

Hi.

First of all I’d like to say that Condor is a fabulous simulator! I fly using VR goggles and one area where I think the user interface could be improved is to relocate the flap position message from the right hand side of the cockpit to near the flap leaver on the left hand side of the cockpit. That way you would be looking at the flap handle and see the setting displayed in the same area of the cockpit rather than having to look across to the other side of the cockpit to see what flap setting you have selected which just feels wrong, especially in the fully immersive VR mode.

Regards
Roger

Maybe it's possible to add a key to show the current flap position too? If you change the flaps, the position is shown a while. But you have to remember it. I can't ever and therefor I change quick the flaps up and down, so it is shown again. But that is surely not good for the performance of flying. Maybe you can show the flap position with the same toggle for the FPS (Shift D).

Thanks for thinking about it

If you are quick it doesnt matter. Only when the hand is on the lever the flaps get moved. So if you change back before the hand has moved the lever nothing changes.

Ok, thanks wickid, then I don't need the toggle. I use two buttons on the joystick for the flaps, pressing both nearly at the same time, no move on the hand. Worked until now and will do it in future too ;-)
