Yeah that's normal.... not what we're talking about in this case.

 

The lift dump means the flaps extend farther to 85 degrees...  or droop down when wheels are on the ground providing a lot of drag for stopping power.

Just watch what happens when you sit on the ground, fully extend the flaps, and then pull the airbrakes handle all the way back..

Hi.

Since having installed this aircraft , and setting up the controls in FSUIPC , i could never get the lift dump to work , or the spoiler lever to move all the way back , the only way i could get it working ,was by grabing the spoiler lever using mouse to pull all the way back.

Yesterday i found a partial solution , my spoiler lever is connected to a spare thottle lever , and this moves the spoiler lever in the normal selection , but would not do lift dump, i can get the spoilers and flaps to now move in to the dump positon , but only on the external view , but in the vc only the flaps move to dump .

The way i did it ,was to goto switches buttons in FSUIPC  ,ticked the profile specific box, selected fs control, operated my spoiler lever to bring up the switch number, then selected flaps incr,ticked the repeat box,then selected flaps3 in next box, clicked ok.

Externally they go from flap3 to dump smoothly , and spoilers move further up into dump position , but internally on the flap gauge, the flaps move from 3 to dump in a jerky movement , but the spoiler lever never moves to dump in the vc, but i can now land and move my ch spoiler lever to normal position for spoilers, once on ground i can move same lever fully back to activate lift dump , without taking my eyes of the runway , once i move spoilers in flaps come back to position 3.

Also if for some reason you do a landing with flaps up or position 1 or 2 , moveing the spoiler lever fully back on my ch quad throttle unit , will still activate lift dump.

regards alan.

p.s. i contacted carenado to get some help on setting this up , a total waste of time, they said it was not posible.
