Hi jcrollé
Have you checked to ensure that those key assignments are still assigned to flaps in FSX under "Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys"?
I'm not sure if this is your problem but the Saitek yoke is known to conflict with FSX in that FSX sees it as a "non-standard" controller because of the extra "buttons" beyond the standard 12 found on basic controllers and will assign actions to those buttons. You could check in FSX under "Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys(tab)" and scroll down through the "assignment list" looking for anything assigned under the "Joystick" column and see if it relates to flaps. It may also be worth your time to Google "Saitek yoke phantom keys"
I've found the best solution for preventing key assignments from being carried out by the yoke system without me assigning those actions was to scroll down through the above mentioned Joystick column and delete each and every assignment I found (making sure to ok those changes before doing anything else) and just use the Saitek programming software for assigning actions.

JC, did you turn on automatic flaps by accident? I found a parameter for automatic flaps in the aircraft config file. But you said it happens for all aircraft, you'd have to edit all planes. Quote: What you can do is disable the automatic flaps by editing the aircraft.cfg file of the aircraft which is located in the FSX folder (go into simobjects --> aircrafts --> look for the F/A-18 folder, aircraft.cfg is there). Open the file with notepad and look there for lines called:
"maneuvering_flaps=1"
and turn them into:
"maneuvering_flaps=0"
And then start FSX. You should be able to manually control the flaps. http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/read. ... 69&t=48069

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/274640-flaps-auto-retract/"It's more likely to be an accidental push of a button on a joystick (or a faulty joystick) which causes the flap movement"and "it is more likely that you have an erroneous keyboard command or axis going to your sim that is causing a flap retract"Check your settings in FS-X controls for the flaps, then set them all to the keyboard. If you can't get them to work properly using the keyboard, then you know the problem is not with your joystick.

JC,
Make sure to check 2 places: BUTTON/KEYS and CONTROL AXES. In AXES, check all controllers in the dropdown box, just in case.
I just reinstalled and have the default F5, F6, F7 and F8 keys, and nothing in the axis.
Try that, if you can't get that working, you have a serious problem.
If you still have a problem, check the first panel in CONTROLS called CALIBRATION, check off ENABLE CONTROLLERS. I think FS-X won't even check controller input now, even less chance for interference.
Two questions:
1. did you install add-on or freeware aircraft just before the problem? Maybe it had an automatic flap feature like the F18 and it is stuck ON in the background.
2. did you install some add-on panel that affects flaps?

Hi JC, As a nerd geographer I wanted to see where Guadeloupe was. I have been to Trinidad and Tobago (yes, both ) but know nothing about Guadeloupe. That's just south of that famous beach airport everyone flies to - in the Dutch Antilles is it - St Maargret or something (didn't bother googling it first...) cheers

St. Maarten, JC is one of the reasons why I did the Carribean routes. That and the crazy airport.
