Arm spoilers?

Hi all,

Do you guys know how to arm the spoilers automatically?

I haven’t found an opinion like it used to exist on FSX, keyboard combination.

I have to set it manually to 29% but I am not sure if it will work when I land.

Anyone may help?

Appreciate!

Best regards.

What airplane? You have to pull up when the speed brake is not deployed to arm them. On the A320, it is easy. On the Boeings, it is a bit trickier as they try to deploy when you pull up. If you crack them and then push back to zero, you should see that they are showing armed. In any case, if you set them to 29% in flight, what you are doing is “throwing out the boards” – that is, using the speed brake. If you land in that configuration, I don’t believe that the spoilers will not auto-deploy.

Hi, thanks!

I meant for both (747 and A320). Usually when I armed the spoilers (Shift + /) on FSX they would automatically be set for 29% and when I landed they performed their mission smoothly.

I will try cracking and pushing back for the 747.
