Spoiler Axis

Featured Replies

I have a quick question, regarding the use of a Spoiler axis on a single lever of a Saitek throttle. I know if I pull the lever about a 1/4 inch the spoilers will arm, but since the Saitek throttle is a physical axis and doesn't move with the NGX's spoiler lever, on Auto Spoiler landings the Saitek axis prevents the auto-spoiler from deploying. Is there anyway to circumnavigate this? Maybe possibly disconnecting the NGX from reading the physical hardware axis only during auto-spoiler movements? This way we can still ARM them without losing the actual automatic deployment.Thanks for your input.Angelo

Not sure I follow you? I've configured one lever as spoiler via FSUIPC. When I pull the lever about 5 cm down, it causes the NGX to arm spoiler. So far so good. When I land the spoilers deploy without any problems...Sure you've configured FSUIPC correct?Mas

I also have the my spoilers mapped to my Saitek throttles. I can get the spoilers to arm and deploy propperly by just moving the throttle lever until the spoiler handle reaches the arm positon. What I have noticed is that there is a small range in the throttle lever movement that will get the spoilers to arm but if I move the lever too far within that range on landing the spoilers will deploy then stow then deploy then stow and keep doing that until I come out of reverse thrust. I recently got two new Saitek throttle quadrants and it seems to be worse now that the spoilers are mapped to one of the new ones. I have taken to just arming them by clicking on the spoiler hande with the mouse. I just use the actual lever to deply the spoilers in flight any more.

You assigned the axis through FSUIPC and not FSX correct? Or did you just calibrate the MIN and MAX through FSUIPC?

I forgot to mention all my axis assignments exept reverse thrust are throug the FSX control assignments. Only reverse thrust is FSUIPC.

I use a saitek lever for spoiler, configured via FSX (not FSUIPC).It deploys fine when it's armed. I must admit that I arm it through the "S" keyBert Van Bulck

I also have the spoiler configured through FSX. I pull it down a little bit so that it's armed, then it deploys automatically with no problem.

My spoiler deploy on landing, but I can't deploy the speed brakes in flight with the lever on my PFC throttles. They work fine in all other planes including PDGM 747, LD767, but not the 737NGX. Gee if I had a 2D throttle quad, I could use the mouse to control the speed brakes, now I have to use the "/" key. This is my last remaining item I need to figure out. I did order the new Throttletek 767 throttles, and I am hoping the problem would resolve itself then.

Through FSUIPC, assigned the lever to Spoiler and that's it...Mas
