Bonanza flaps down on ground is punished by mission rating

Bug description:
When on a mission with the Beechcraft Bonanza the rating algorithm punishes any use of the flaps when on the ground with reason “Flaps overspeed”. Meaning, when on hold short, receiving clearance and moving onto the runway for example, if flaps are extended to help with the take off roll, “aviator points” are deducted for doing so. If the mission designer is of the oppinion that the flaps shouldn’t be used a different pop-up would be necessary. “Flaps overspeed” when standing still or moving 3kph is nonsence!

Repro steps:
Take mission with a Bonanza, before take off extend the flaps to “flaps 1”.

Receiving the same warning and mission parameter fail at approach when lowering flaps, only seems to be at the furst setting, additional flap does not promt the pilot error

Had the same issue with the Robin DR400-100 Cadet and the JMB VL-3. Flaps overspeed when standing still…
Also getting bad aviator points.

Same issue with DHC-2. I got -75% for lowering flaps on take off and landing

This is a career and/or aircraft configuration issue which should be reported in the Official Forums per the pinned post, not here in DevSupport.

Blame the system, not the users. First of all the dev support forum was the first hit on Google when I searched „MSFS 2024 report bug“ and yes, I should have checked the rules, but I am new to this level of contribution and just wanted to share my bug and didn‘t look left or right (as I also was frustrated and honestly wanted to let off steam reporting the bug). Sorry.

Second: now that I know where to post I’d be happy to remove this post -but I am not allowed to do so. I just tried again, it won’t let me! If that is the rule here, so be it! But don’t just reply that it is misplaced, period. If there is a way that I can close the topic, please share how. If it only can be closed by an admin, if you are one, close it, if you know how to reach one, tell him to close it. On the main forum I posted some topic that was already covered and the admins just closed my topic and linked it to the already opened one.

Someone from Dev team will close it when they scrub.
