February 18, 201115 yr I was doing an offline flight into EGJB. The conditions were low visability, down to 1500m at night, wind 013/15 gusting 20. I was really please with the landing except the 737NG it wasn't slowing down. Then I realised the spoilers were happily doing nothing. :( It was a long over shoot. This seems to be happening a lot latley. Not sure why. I arm the spoilers before landing. Or at least I think I am. The green arm light is on anyway. :Thinking:Maybe I forgot auto brakes or something. :( J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s

February 21, 201115 yr Author Did you make sure your joystick throttle axis is at idle and the spoilers armed light is on?Yes the green light was on.I have not assigned any joystick commards to the spolier (if thats what you mean?). I just use Shift/ to arm or use the throttle quad panel to contol the handle.I would like to assign the spoiler to a control, but haven't figured out the best option yet. J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s

February 22, 201115 yr Author I use the Saitek Pro Yoke and the throttles that come with them. I just use he black handle for throttle, blue for flaps, and red for gears up and down. If I had another throttle, I could set up a spolier. And have two black handle throttles.The software that comes with Saitek is very good. Seems a bit easier to use than FSUIPC.Bit of a power drain having all this stuff :( J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s

To ensure it is try hitting 'F1' before touchdown. George Morris
February 27, 201115 yr Author Thanks, are you sure your throttle is at idle? The spoilers will not deploy if your throttle is not at idle. To ensure it is try hitting 'F1' before touchdown.As far as I'm aware the throttle is on idle. The Saiteks throttle has been pretty good.I think maybe i just forgot to set the auto brakes. Will the spoilers deploy if set to off? J u l ia n D i a m a n d i s
