Well, as there is any solution I'm affraid I have to hit / everytime I touchdown. A minor issue for one of the most realistic aircraft environment simulators ever made... I hope PMDG staff fix this with an upcoming update...:-roll Regards and thank you for your replies.

This is a easy thing to check. 1] Disconnect you flight control completely and let the aircraft full autoland.2] Go to spot view and watch what happens.3] This will show you where the real problem resides. I will admit that the spoilers are a bit touchy for various reasons but I have never found one case were it was not their controller isssue. Since we cannot see what you are doing it's impossible to know what is going on with your issue. Fact is this many folks cannot have spoiler deployment and somehow the sim make a *bug* just for them, makes sense eh?Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

Ok Randy, I'll try to do that.Thank you for your reply ;)

No way :-( I disconnected the joystick and did a full autloland with all the procedures. She flared and retarded the throttle but nothing! The spoilers just dont deploy on touchdown, period!;( ;(

Thank you for the good laugh!Just remember, hit "/" on landing just to be sure and problem solved! Trust, but verify :)

Can you use the reversers? Leave the parking brake on, sit on a runway or taxi way and hold F2 down.What happens? Do they stay on? Watch the N1 levels and the visual gaps open up on the engine sides. Do the stutter in and out?I know you have tried the no joystick at all method, but I just want to be sure.As a small point about the thottle bouncing "around" but not constantly at idle problem...Microsoft are idiots. Sorry, but they are. Where is the "dead zone" for the throttle? Yep, in the middle of the travel. I mean, come on! Duh! I wouldn't like to be the person who has to wipe the drule off that programmers face or feed him his liquidised dinner in his safety chair.Exactly what use is it there? None. A the "ends" of the travel is where you need it on the throttle, or am I mad?I had exactly the same problem, with the reversers and spoilers, I had to set my throttle 0 at about 10% travel to insure no flicker above 0% thottle. Maybe a "deadzone" in the PMDG menu for autobrake, reverser and apoiler arming would be nice? hint hint.Paul8nm SEE EGAC
