Spoilers Management in MSFS

Featured Replies

I have tried assigning one of my levers in Saitek Pro Quadrant to MSFS Option "Spoilers Axis (0 to 100%)" but have not had any success even though another lever (Z-Axis) works very well with the throttle.  Has anyone been able to assign the X-Axis of the Saitek Pro Quadrant to the above MSFS spoilers option.

The other spoiler-related question is that I don't see a function in the options for a keyboard assignment to extend and retract the spoilers INCREMENTALLY.  I am aware of the keyboard assignment options for the full extension/retraction and arming of the spoilers.

Any help on the above spoiler management questions would be appreciated.

What happens when you try to assign the lever to the spoilers?

The steps I go through are:

  • Select Controls Options
  • Select Flight Yoke System (my custom profile is "Saitek Pro NGX V01")
  • There is already a bind for axis JOYSTICK R-AXIS X to a propeller option so I clear/unbind it and save the profile.
  • When I attempt to assign JOYSTICK R-AXIS X to option "Spoilers Axis (0 to 100%)", I get message "Warning: selected axis input is not recommended for this action.
  • Since I don't understand why the warning (I just freed it above), I Validate the selection anyway, it appears next to "Spoilers Axis......" so I save the change.
  • When I go to the aircraft and move the lever I just programmed, the spoiler arm in the aircraft does not move at all.

Thanks

There is another parameter called SPOILERS AXIS and this one worked.  I have no idea what SPOILERS AXIS (0 to 100%) does.  Maybe it was added to test our perseverance

Wait until tomorrow. SU11 is providing support for incremental spoilers which might make the whole process easier
