Yet another remark on Spoilers

[KirMi]

On touchdown only the Flight-Spoilers came out. I get the Ground-Spoilers (popping out) only when I apply revers thrust.

Can't judge whether it's,

- a discrepancy between flight-dynamics and the visual model ( probably the issue mentioned on the "Not in V1.0" List? )

- a discrepancy  between replay mode and realtime

- or intended by Mr. Boeing (I don't think so).

The replay mode is sometimes a little buggy - since we had to work around X-Plane not recording custom datarefs for the replay.

The flight-spoilers come out at touchdown (wheel spinup), the ground spoilers only after compression of the right main gear strut. So on supersmooth touchdowns, there can be a noticeable delay, too.

Thanks Jan,

that's the way I understand the Boeing-Systems and your remarks concerning Spoilers/Replay prior to release of V1.0.

But what I believe to see now (V1.0.2), looks like no ground spoilers without reversers?

Hmm - but the flight-spoilers deploy on touchdown?

Yes, it looks like the flight-spoilers are coupled to the original x-plane dataref's and ground-spoilers are bound to the reversers.

But I've learned from another project,  that "what you see" in x-plane is not necessarily "what you get" in terms of flight dynamics.

I think that yould be linked to that topic:
