I have version 2.2 installed for P3Dv5 and I've mostly been able to figure the plane out except for one thing, the spoilers won't retract after being deployed.  I tried the normal way I use and have it bound to a lever on my Logitech throttle quandrant and I also tried using the default key but once deployed, the spoiler lever won't move back down.  I also tried using the mouse by clicking and dragging it and this actually seems to get it to move a bit but only a little.  I see there are detents on the throttle at 10, 20 and 30 degrees but I can't get the lever to move back into any of them let alone all the way back down.  Is there some other way to get it back down?  I would really appreciate anyone's help.

I have the same. With the lever only deploying the spoilers work. To return them I need the "spoilers arm" command or spoilers off command. This doesnt' make sense to me. I can not arm them but should be possible in MD-11.

I see, it must be a bug with the plane then.  I didn't know that would work, two separate commands, thanks for sharing.   I do have a couple other planes where the Spoiler is also finicky and also the Reversers on a couple planes I have won't work either (that works on this plane, at least I have reverse thrust).

I assume this is a bug, and I don't have this addon, but 2 thoughts come to mind.

Does moving the thrust levers more than 1 inch cause the handle to auto retract?  Is there a click spot that allows you to "push" the handle back in?

Both of those methods will cause the spoilers to retract in the real plane.

You are right. If the thrust is a little bit forward, you can use the spoiler axis. If the spoilers are extended with the key command, thrust forward retracts them. So far, I did not manage to just arm them though.
