I am looking for the ability to extend and retract spoilers by steps, and when they are fully retracted, or moved out of the retracted position, the spoilers should arm or disarm, as shown here:
Binding #1: Step down
From Disarm Spoilers → Extend 1 lvl → Extend 2 lvl → Etc
Binding #2: Step up
From last extended spoilers → Retract 2lvl → Retract 1lvl → Arm Spoilers
In other sims, I can use only one switch for arm/disarm/extend/retract.
I have tried using the DISARM AUTO SPOILERS and EXTEND SPOILERS and ARM AUTO SPOILERS and RETRACT SPOILERS options together, but that doesn’t work.
i can raise and lower mixture, prop and throttle. i can move flaps, toggle ap bugs for heading, altitude, flc and vs and change them with controller, i even have all the light switches mapped on the controller with legacy controls… everything anyone would need at crucial time. i can turn it completely on and off no inbetween. i still have plenty of button combos to add more controls and this spoiler option is very limiting, its not ez looking finding and activating with mouse then moving camera to find speedo and then back again
You have to map the spoiler axis to a control with an axis. Something like the throttles lever. I was trying to do it on the Hotas One yesterday for the glider spoilers. Unfortunately, the rocker buttons are only half axis (works somewhat though). If you have something like a throttle quadrant, then you can do increments.
I use a Thrustmaster T16000 and I use the throttle on the stick, it does cause cross handing which isn’t ideal but I’ve usually made a throttle adjustment just prior to wanting spoilers.
im using a xbox elite controller, even if i set to axis the moment i let go of chorded button and or right stick it completely resets
Ahh, I only use the controller for camera stuff. I used the controller in the beginning but that got old fast.
honestly ive gotten pretty good with controller, all those years of playing forza motorsports. im very good with fine movements. with 2 paddles on rear of controller i bound the left stick click and right stick click to the rear paddles, i use left paddle for zooming in on instruments so i can use my right hand to click instruments with mouse and then i use the right stick for camera cockpit movement and the right paddle in combination with the B,Y,A,X and those in combination with the dpad and bumper////////////////////////////////////// i would love a nice setup but in my opinion its just not worth it, id rather do a american truck sim or racing sim setup b4 i would do a msfs. a controller and onair is good enough for me, ill admit though flying traffic patterns and landing with xbox controller is abit harder but is acceptable with practice.
It’s one of those things that you don’t know what your missing if you haven’t use it. I started with the Hotas One + Pedals(after controller) because it was the first to work in Xbox. Now im moving too a Hoeycomb. It’s a more immersive feeling with better control . It also translate more to the real world if you ever decide to fly a real plane.
