Not able to arm auto spoilers in air!!!! Any resolutions??

[Guest Don Harrison]

Hi, Just bought 737 right off I can say what a product. Awesome. I love it so much. My only gripe is that Shift / has no effect what so ever when it comes to arming the autothrottles. If I place the mouse on the arm detent and click it seems to happen but when you go to external view the spoilers are actually raised a bit. just wondering if there has been any ideas on this so far..Don Harrison

Hi Don,Well, the only thing I can tell you is that it does work for me. The moment I hit shift / the green speedbrake armed light comes on, so I don't understand why it doesn't work for you!?Leo Bakker

Are you using FS2002 or 2004?Miltos

[Guest Don Harrison]

I am using 2002 thanksDOn

This seems to be a problem in FS2002, although for some reason it occurs only on the -700. Spoilers work just fine on the -600 so it's obviously not a panel issue. Maybe a slight discrepancy in the .air file, although I'm not going to tinker with it without hearing from the experts.CheersMiltos

I also cannot arm spoilers in the air with shift /. I fly the -700 with FS2002. Had this problem in the original aircraft and it seemed to be fixed in the SU1 update. Now with SU2 it doesn't work again.Dave

Arming the spoilers worked fine for me in FS2002 with SU1.1, but i can't tell you about SU2 because it upgraded to FS2004 at the same as the release of SU2. But in FS2004, i can't arm my spoilers either. I can't put them down either by pressing shift + / twice. The only way to put them down is to go into the throttle quadrant and put them down. Though in all fairness, i havn't looked at the assignments for the keys yet so it might be a problem on my end.Cheers, liam

Same here. I have to lower them via the leverDave

I am using FS9 with SU2 flying the 700. I also cannot use the shift + / to arm the autospoilers and must use the mouse on the lever - no big deal though. -Steve Canham
