February 28, 20233 yr I'm not 100% certain, but 99% that when Flaps 2 is selected on the AN-225, the slats come out all the way. As it stands now, they only come out a teensy bit (visually at least). My apologies if I'm the one who is wrong here, but I'm pretty sure this could be a "bug" Thanks!
March 1, 20233 yr Author Hi! The first picture shows the wing of the iniBuild A225 in sim with Flaps 2 set, just after I started taxiing. The slats are out a centimeter (if that). The second picture shows a real AN-225 with Flaps 2 set taxiing to the runway (I know its flaps 2 by the written procedure as well as the position of the trailing edge flaps). The slats are fully extended. T
March 2, 20233 yr mmh, from that bottom picture I'd rather say that the flaps are on 15° which is when our slats also extend. I did forward it to the team for consideration though 🙂
March 2, 20233 yr Author Cool, thanks. I think even with flaps 15 in the sim, the slats aren't all the way out. They appear to come out in proportion to the angle of the trailing edge flaps. I can't say for certain, but I believe the slats have just two positions on the real aircraft - fully extended or fully retracted. As soon as Flaps 2 is selected, I believe (not 100% sure though) that the slats go to the fully extended position. This may be something you and your team may want to look into. Thanks again for the correspondence! 🙂
