PFC Spoiler not working

Featured Replies

While on the Ground..and Throttle panel displayed..if I pull back my PFC lever, the Throttle panel lever moves with it...BUT the spoilers do not deploy... If I grab the Spoiler lever with the mouse the spoilers will visually deploy.. On landing, if I pull the PFC lever the spoilers WILL DEPLOY... however if I move the lever back up the spoilers will not retract...I have to grab the spoiler lever on the TP to tryract the spoilers.. Other than the above my TM functions just great...Ray Lunning

Ray; Check the readme, item #24. You need to have the lever on the PFC quadrant you want to use to control spoilers set to PROP PITCH 1 in the PFC menu, NOT spoilers. The panel takes the axis input from Prop Pitch 1, and depending on electrical and hydraulic configuration, moves the spoilers (or not). The way FS works, if you move the spoiler axis directly, it'll move the spoilers no matter if there's power available.CheersSounds like your joystick is not staying centered. Make sure you have a big enough dead zone in the center, too. A series of small nonzero inputs from jitter or an "off" calibration can accumulate over time to do this.As for the pressurization controller, to reset the AUTO controller after getting the OFF SCHED DESCENT light, first set the FLT ALT to an altitude below the aircraft's current altitude, and then click on the center of the FLT ALT knob on the pressurization controller to reset the controller.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

Bob: In one of the "Readmes" it says "set lever to control PROP PITCH 2"...I know it says this because I am looking at the 'Print Out'.. under Ver 1.2... I changed it to PROP PITCH 1 and it works OK now.. I don't have any issues with the TinMouse now...All systems are working perfectly...Ray Lunning
