[BUG] - Flaps not being reported by ACARS/FSUIPC #694

Open austinwilkins1 opened 7 months ago

austinwilkins1 commented 7 months ago

Describe the bug

Flaps position not being reported to third party apps

Steps to reproduce

Download Newsky from newsky.app, and when open and logged in, control+left click the icon in the top left of the app to pull the acars tracking datarefs and notice the aircraft does not report anything for flaps. Assume this has to be an issue with other ACARS systems too since its all FSUIPC dependent.

Expected behaviour

FSUIPC should be recognizing some sort of flap input when extended.

+1. My VA ACARS also gives me penalty points for not getting the flaps data.

I can also confirm that even smartcars is not registering any flap movement as well.

Can also verify that my VA's ACARS client does not pick up any flap positions.

Flagging up again. Flew the livestream with British AvGeek. Both of us couldn't use the NewSky VA software due to the flaps issue not allowing logging. Noting that the public release is a couple of days away and the various VA flight logging systems used by the customer base, this is more of a quality of life request, but it will impact reputation if not resolved.
