March 14, 20233 yr I love gliders, but have been turned off by my inability to assign speed brakes to the throttle axis of my X52 HOTAS. I have tried various sliders but I never see any air brake action in the sim. Related problem is assigning tow release, and especially ballast dump somewhere. I only fly VR so keyboard shortcuts don't really do it for me. Hope this is solvable, because I truly want to love gliders in this sim!! Appreciate any guidance or feedback on this, thanks!

March 15, 20233 yr I created a separate profile for Gliders in MFS, and as I also use the HOTAS of an old broken X52 Pro together with the T16000, I assigned the Spoilers axis to the X52 HOTAS throttle without any problem ? Searching for identical problems I found: Spoiler Axis - Community Support / Tech Support - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums apparently wrong action chosen for spoiler axis; Even better here: Spoilers Management in MSFS - Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) - The AVSIM Community Maybe you're trying to use that "SPOILERS AXIS (0 to 100%)" and should use the action named simply "SPOILER AXIS" ?

March 15, 20233 yr Just to clarify, the sim allows you to create control profiles. You can save profiles in the control menu, and then use the left-right arrows under your controller to change profiles and apply them. The profiles won't switch automatically, you'll have to switch profiles when you switch aircraft. You can use an app like Spad Next, or Axis and Ohs, to change profiles automagically. (and a whole lot more)
March 16, 20233 yr Author Fantastic folks! Got it sorted. (turned out I had a filter set that was hiding the 'spoiler axis'. Found it, and it set itself to the throttle axis no problem. Got release and water ballast working as well! Woo hoo - now to explore gliders!!
