Can't lower spoilers on some aircraft (FFX 737-800)

Featured Replies

I have 1 of the 3 levers on my CH Flight Yoke USB programed to control the spoilers.On some aircraft it works fine, I can raise the spoilers and lower the spoilers. However on others such as the FFX 737-800, I can only raise them and to bring them down I have no choice but to use the / key.With the lever, I can only raise the spoilers all the way to 100%. I cannot lift them just a little inflight to use them as speed brakes to slow down. This is only with some aircraft such as the FFX 737-800.On other aircraft such as the new IFDG A320, I can lower the spoilers with the lever without any problems and can progressively raise them and lower them all I want.Does anyone know why this is and if there is a fix?Regards

Okay I discovered that when I have the throttle above idle, the gradual spoiler works.Does anyone know why this only works with the throttle being above idle? Sometimes during descent, one will idle the engines and will want to use the spoilers a little bit to slow down......Regards
