Question about flight spoilers

[honeycool75]

Hi all,

 

After configuring the plane for landing with the ground spoilers set to "auto", part of double-checking - I've noticed that the flight spoilers can't be manually deployed/extended in full 1st screenshot vs in real life 2nd screenshot. I'm using the cl650/pedestial/flt_spoilers_up and flt_spoilers_down keybinds. Am I doing it correctly or can someone tell me what should be the right way of deploying flight spoilers?

 

Thanks.

You’re pressing your key/button multiple times right? Is the lever going all the rearwards when you do? The flight spoiler lever has 9 detents/positions.

Also “up” and “down” commands may be backwards to what you expect.

No, the keybinds weren't reversed.

 

Then, I swapped the CL650 flight spoiler keybinds to the default XP speed brakes extend full and retract full, it seems to work - this time the lever goes all the way rearwards as expected. I still don't know what's wrong with CL650 keybinds.

I've found the answer after experimenting with the custom CL650 flt_spoiler_up and flt_spoiler_down keybinds. It seems that either will require multiple key press to fully extend or retract, respectively. Since I'm using a throttle hotas with a spare lever axis, the default xp "speedbrakes" axis is my preferred choice - it serves the same purpose. Issue resolved.

Having trouble with spoiler have tried all suggestions I have read here. I binded the spoilers from hotstart as well as speed brakes. I have set my honeycomb bravo throttle to have the speed brakes axis on throttle one. I have tried to click and hold on the actual flight spoiler and move it but nothing works. Every time I start the aircraft up and get hydraulics running it will immediately move the spoiler to max and there fore I can not fly. All help appreciates

Have you selected the “reverse axis” option?

[Jrod1988]

I have and it did nothing for it.

I also deleted everything and ran a fresh install just because I was hopeful that would solve the issue

This is all I've ever done and it works 100%
