I have been programming mobiflight to control a servo for a flap gauge. I am using X Plane 11.5 and the Zibo 737-800. I have used the following configuration.

Preset: sim/flightmodel2/controls/flap1_deploy_ratio
Description: This is the ACTUAL FLAP deployment for flap-set #1, in ratio, where 0.0 is flaps fully retracted, and 1.0 is flaps fully extended., unit: ratio
Min Value: 0
Max Value: 1
Max Rotation: 65%

I have tested the servo and it works fine. When I launch X Plane and set the flaps the servo dosnt move until the flaps reach 40 in which case the servo rotates 65%. I have checked the
Flight Sim Values and the Output Values and they seem to be fine, eg with Flaps at 10 both values are around 0.22. I expected the servo to move by around 1/5th but it did not move at all.

Can anyone think of a reason why the servo isnt moving until flaps are fully deployed?

I got a solution to this from Jaime on Discord. Using a transfor of $*100, the number was changed to a percentage. Then changing the limits to 0 to 100 seems to work.
