PMDG 737: speed brake assignment

Featured Replies

Has anybody managed to assign the speed brake / spoilers (Arm, Increment, Decrement) to buttons on a joystick?

I don't have enough axes and I've tried to assign through the FS2024 control panel as well as through FSUIPC but it does not work.

This setting it works perfectly with the 777!

On the 737 TOGGGLE ARM SPOILERS works but not RETRACT and EXTEND spoilers. Sometimes the lever does not move at all, sometimes it moves but I have to maintain it otherwise it returns to its initial position.

Not directly responsive to the original question, but assignment of the spoiler axis to a Thrustmaster HOTAS slider works fine on my setup. I can't help with regard to the buttons.

Finally, TOGGLE SPOILERS did the trick and also saved me one button.
