February 9, 201214 yr 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 Angelo Cosma PPL ASEL / IFR Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Field Service Representative (SEA) ZSE ARTCC Intel i7 6700K 4.8Ghz / ASUS ROG Maximus Hero VIII / 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Ram / EVGA 1080Ti FTW3/ Corsair H110i GTX EVGA 850 Watt Gold / Samsung 850 500gb SSD
February 9, 201214 yr 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 Martin Jensen
February 9, 201214 yr 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. Tom Landry

Or did you just calibrate the MIN and MAX through FSUIPC?

February 9, 201214 yr I forgot to mention all my axis assignments exept reverse thrust are throug the FSX control assignments. Only reverse thrust is FSUIPC. Tom Landry
February 9, 201214 yr 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
February 9, 201214 yr Commercial Member 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. Noah Bryant
February 10, 201214 yr 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. Paul Gugliotta
