Speed brake - random on

Featured Replies

Just started this last week - speed brake just comes up no matter which plane I fly, have disabled all keyboard buttons and have nothing working the speed brake except my mouse in virtuall cockpit. I have FSX on a separate drive to P3D and that is OK, had P3D since 1.3 and never had fault.

 

Anyone any ideas?

Either an axis / joystick button assigned to that function that you don't know about, or that axis sensitivity / null zone incorrectly defined.

 

For each of your controllers, under Options / Controls / "Buttons and Keys", sellect "All events" and browse across the middle and right columns to see what joystick buttons might be assigned, and disable those you do not need for that controller and can play tricks like the one you describe! 

 

Then, on the "Calibration" tab, make sure that the speedbrake ( Spoiler I assume that's what you meant )  axis gets FULL sensitivity and full left ( 1 ) null zone.

 

If you were talking about the wheel brakes, apply the same method..., only in that case I have:

 

 

 

full sensitivity but mid null zone.

 

Hope this helps :-/

I eventually found that a button  on my saitek 52 pro joystick was stuck and sending random spoilers up - don't know why but I have not allocated anything to it because its a double switch thing and not really worth using.

 

thanks for the help Jcomm
